CMA Awards 2025: Brett Young and Taylor Mills Reveal Secret to Their 7-Year Marriage

In case you didn’t know, Brett Young has the inside scoop on how to have a successful marriage.

Indeed, the country star and his wife Taylor Mills Young have figured out the secret ingredient on how to make their love story sing—even after seven years of marriage.

“Taylor and I have always been friends,” Brett told E! News in an exclusive interview at the 2025 CMA Awards in Nashville Nov. 19. “Especially with what I do for a living and being gone all the time, I don’t think it works if you’re not.” 

“We have the same sense of humor and we have a good time,” the 44-year-old—who tied the knot with Taylor in November 2018—continued. “17 years since we met, and we still have a blast together. I think you need to have fun together and never stop dating.”

Meanwhile, Brett and Taylor are “crushin’ it” as a team when it comes to their daughters Presley, 6, and Rowan, 4. 

“They’re old enough now that they’re little people, and they’re starting to have personalities,” he shared. “For a dad, the first couple years they only need mom. So, as much as I enjoyed having babies, I’m starting to feel like they need me and they like me a little bit. So selfishly, I’m enjoying this age the most so far.”

Plus, as Taylor sees it, her daughters are equally as enamored with the “In Case You Didn’t Know” singer.

“They’re daddy’s girls,” she said in the joint interview. “They really are. They like me, but when dad comes in the room, it’s just [different].”

But Presley and Rowan aren’t just fans of Brett as a dad—they might just be following in his musical footsteps, too.

“I went into having kids hoping they didn’t want to be in this business,” he explained, “but they’re showing a really good ear. They have cute little voices and can keep a key. They’ll hear my song and my oldest will sing the runs. So, I’m worried that we don’t have a choice.”

While Brett and Taylor used the 2025 CMA Awards as a kid-free date night, they weren’t the only country stars to hit the red carpet. Read on to see who else showed up for country music’s biggest night.
