Little Big Town won the GRAMMY Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their Taylor Swift-penned smash hit “Better Man.”
Taylor sent the song to them – her first time pitching a song she wrote – and knew their harmonies would be perfect on it.
“She thought of us because of the harmonies and she’d never pitched a song to anyone before and the moment that we heard it we were like, ‘Man, that is a song that we are going to cut and so, yeah.’” (Phillip) “Immediately we were all like had the same reaction. Through our whole career, anytime we’ve had that reaction to a song we knew it felt right. So, this one just felt special and we’ve known Taylor since she was in high school, so she’s a dear friend of ours.”
Little Big Town is currently making their way up the country charts with their latest song, “When Someone Stops Loving You.”
