Billy Currington celebrated his recent No. 1 single, “Hey Girl,” with a party in Nashville on Tuesday night (December 3rd), and he brought a very special date…his 84-year-old grandmother, Evelyn. Billy says it was her first No. 1 party.

“We brought her up last night from Georgia,” says Billy. “She’s a big fan of Opryland Hotel, you know, with all of the lights? I took her there a few years ago one time. She just loves it and just been talking about it for years since then, and so we snuck one on her. I think she had other plans, but we said, ‘Wouldn’t you rather go see the Opryland Christmas lights?’ [laughs] So, that’s really all she thought she was going to do, and then we brought her in today. She’s having a great time.”

Billy has hit the airwaves with his new single, “We Are Tonight.”
