As everyone takes a break to stuff themselves with turkey and count their blessings on Thanksgiving, we asked some of our favorite country stars—Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town and Jake Owen—to tell us what they’re thankful for in 2019.
Lady Antebellum (Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott, Dave Haywood)
Dave: “I’m grateful for these guys and looking forward to another year with them. We’re appreciative to be in this spot [as a band] and we don’t take it for granted.”
Charles: “Our friendship. It’s been a great year for us. All of our kids are healthy and happy and that’s the main thing.”
Hillary: “Yes, healthy and happy kids, you can stop right there.”
Little Big Town (Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild, Philip Sweet)
Jimi: “Family, health.”
Kimberly: “Babies, family.”
Karen: “We’ve lost so many people this year in the country music world, behind-the-scenes folks that people might not know that were just precious to us all. It really sobers you up that you have to live in the moment and take advantage of being around family and friends.”
Philip: “Yes, living in the moment.”
Jake Owen
Jake: “I’m thankful for so many things. I’m thankful for my two little girls. I’m thankful for my friends and my family and being able to love and be loved. I’m thankful to be a part of country music and be able to do this for a living.”
