Brett Young, Taylor Mills on Marriage, Kids

“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.
