Young Hollywood

Hey guys, Jessica Smith here. I'm here with Little Big Town. They're up for a Grammy tonight. So, you know, where were you guys when you found out? I mean, you've been nominated for four Grammys total.

Meet Little Big Town

This time we were all at our homes because we had a the evening off and we were watching the Grammy show and you know, this year they did a nominee show and our friend Miranda Lambert was performing. So we watched Miranda saying and I think we were all secretly kind of hoping. We don't talk about it cuz you don't want to jinx it you know that we would get nominated for something cuz we have a brand new record out. So um it didn't that they said go on to grammy. com to find out the rest of the nominations and I think we all like got on our computers and and we're all there like and couldn't couldn't log on. So we heard from our publicist. She texts us and said congrats and we were like for what? What's it what it was for

Young Hollywood

I'm just going to ask because you girls and guys just like absolutely stunning tonight. Tell me did you you know how long did it take you guys to pick out your outfits? Like I'm like I want to get girly on this.

Meet Little Big Town

We chose them yesterday. Our stylist lives out here. So we waited until we got here yesterday, which is crazy. Oh my God. But it works. This is Alexander McQueen. I think she's wearing Nicole Miller and we borrowed some really beautiful jewelry from Effie. And that's snake cool. I love No, I'm like I'm say. And this is Dana Rebecca you guys have on right now. And Judith Lieber let us borrow clutches, so we're like all decked out tonight. I know. I love it.

Young Hollywood

Now what about you boys. How long did it take y'all to?

Meet Little Big Town

Not long. 5 minutes. It was the first suit I tried on. I was like works for me.

Young Hollywood

You're like it's a black suit. I'll take it. Something that I personally think is amazing with y'all is that, you know, you're all four like amazing lead singers. You know, I mean you're all very like strong vocalist. No more like crazy til you take me down take me down. Take me down. Take me down. Take me down to the little white chair. Take me down. Take me down. Take me down. Take me down. Take me down. Take me down to the little white chair. Take me down. Is that one of the things that you guys think make you stand out from the other artists?

Meet Little Big Town

I think so. I think it you know, it makes us unique when each of us can step out and take a lead and that really makes it fun for us musically too. It can you know, be very creative and do different things that maybe some other bands can't do.

Young Hollywood

Let's talk about your album the Reason Why. Tell me a little bit about that album.

Meet Little Big Town

And we start by writing the songs and then um along the way we'll start recording the music and we just put our heart and souls into every every little piece of it and we try to make a body of work. Not just a few singles here and there but a whole body of work that people won't want to fast forward through any of the songs. They want to hear the whole record.

Young Hollywood

You toured with Sugarland, they're also your friends. You had a collaboration with them for Life in a Northern Town and you're getting ready to go back on tour. Like are you there going to be any more collaborations in the future with them do you think?

Meet Little Big Town

We can't stop ourselves from working with them. So yeah, there will be. I'm sure there'll be a new one as soon as we hit the road in a few weeks with them. We we enjoy that. Yeah, it's just a really great creative environment when we're on the road with those guys. It's free and um we just hang out in the dressing room and and play music and and people, you know running the room. I've got an idea. Why don't we try this and you know, It's fun. It's always fun. Well, I'm sure we'll do something.

Young Hollywood

We've teamed up with TurboTax, which is the official Grammy Guide. Who in your career has guided you guys throughout?

Meet Little Big Town

A lot of people. Gut instinct. Yeah. We laugh about that. We all we're usually all on the same page and when we have a gut feeling about something it's usually the same and that's how we always go. But we've had a great team of people that we've worked with for so many years even from the very beginning. Some of those people who started with us in the very beginning are still here. 12 years ago. A great team is so important in this business. There so many different aspects that I think people don't really realize there are so you got to have that solid team around you all the time.
