My dad and grandpa were in the army and as a country singer you're constantly playing at military bases all across the country and meeting soldiers and their families and hearing their stories.

My dad keeps joking about sneaking into my grandparents' house and switching out their HBO for PBS so they think I'm on 'Downton Abbey.'

It was sort of just a family sport. My mom and dad were pretty keen golfers when I was young and so were my grandparents and I just sort of tagged along with them.

My mother was 45 when she had me so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents.

My grandparents got married at a very young age and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship.
