LADY ANTEBELLUM HITS ‘DOWNTOWN’ WITH A PREGNANT HILLARY. (AUDIO)

Lady Antebellum’s latest single, “Downtown,” is poised to take over the top spot on the country singles chart, and the uptempo goodtime tune is also proving to be a hit in their live shows, as well. The trio is getting a good kick out of performing the song as Lady A member Hillary Scott progresses in her pregnancy. “The second verse, and it’s like [singing] ‘I’ve got some platforms sitting in the corner/ I wanna stroll on a city sidewalk/I’ve got a dress that’ll show a little unh-uh/but you ain’t gettin’ unh-uh if you don’t come pick me up.’ So, it’s like the belly is definitely showing off,” laughs Hillary. “Like the more pregnant I get the funnier it’ll be to perform that song every night. Hopefully, it’ll give everybody a good laugh.”

Hillary is due to give birth to a baby girl in July – it will be the first child for her and husband, Chris Tyrell.

The band is also about to give birth to their fourth studio album, Golden, on May 7th.
