PHOTOS: Brett Young Kicks off Country Now Live Series

Brett Young kicked off the Country Now Live series with a full band show on Wednesday (March 17) and delivered a dazzling set full of his biggest hits. 

The superstar took the stage promptly at 8pm CT with his breakout hit, “Sleep Without You.” As thousands of fans watched live from home exclusively on CTRL_MUSIC_, a brand new country music channel on the popular interactive livestreaming service Twitch, the platinum-selling artist went on to perform songs such as “In Case You Didn’t Know,” “Mercy,” “Here Tonight,” and his latest hit, “Lady.” 

Following his performance, Young joined Country Now’s Lauren Black for a live Q&A session presented by Turbo Tax. Young took questions from fans via the interactive Twitch chat, where he discussed his musical influences, his 40th birthday plans and his growing family, following the news that he and his wife, Taylor, are expecting their second child. 

When a viewer asked how he thinks his daughter, Presley, will react to the new baby, Young explained that he wasn’t quite sure if she realized what’s coming. 

“I don’t think that she knows…” Young admitted. “She started to touch mama’s belly and be curious about it. I don’t think she gets exactly what’s happening yet. The cool thing that’s happening right now, and we’re really excited about it, she’s starting to be nurturing to her dolls, like her little dollies, and I can tell that she’s behaving towards her dolls the way that her Mom, my wife, behaves towards her. And I’m like, ‘oh she’s going to be fine.’”

“She doesn’t get that there’s a little baby coming out of mama’s belly, there’s no way that a one-and-a-half-year-old could understand that, but the fact these nurturing traits are starting to show up is really fun and really beautiful,” he added. 

The virtual concert took Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, the newest Nashville venue, which has established itself as a standout concert venue and proven leader in utilizing state-of-the-art production capabilities along with delivering the ultimate livestreamed concert experience.
