Lady Antebellum Size Up ‘Spicy’ Grammy Competition
Lady Antebellum were more than a little shocked when they found out they were nominated for not one, but two Grammy awards.
"I bawled like a baby," Lady A singer Hillary Scott tells The Boot of her reaction to the nods, for Best New Artist and for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, for 'Love Don't Live Here.' "It doesn't get any better than this -- to be included in this honor. I still can't really fathom it ... We are still walking around on a cloud!"
It's not just the nominations the country trio are thrilled about. Scott is looking forward to rubbing elbows with some of her musical heroes.
"We are going to be sitting in the same room with Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, Beyonce -- all of these people who we listened to, bought their records," she gushes. "It's just crazy. Crazy!"
Lady A is up against Adele, Duffy, Jazmine Sullivan and the Jonas Brothers for the Best New Artist trophy. Scott says she's a fan of all of her fellow nominees.
"I would love to meet the Jonas Brothers, and tell them how much my little sister loves them. I'd love to meet Adele. I bought the Adele record right when it came out and I've been listening to it like crazy. She's just fantastic. Jazmine Sullivan -- she is awesome. I bought her album, and I love it. Spicy. I like spicy girls!"
Scott admits she's also looking forward to the red-carpet Grammy fashion -- something bandmates Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley probably aren't thinking too much about.
"I don't know what I'm going to wear," Scott admits. "I'm on a Grammy boot camp diet, just to feel great on the red carpet ... I'm kind of looking at the Grammy dress as how I want to look for my wedding dress, which won't be any time soon. But you want to be able to light up from the inside out."
See if Lady Antebellum takes home a Grammy this Sunday at 8 PM ET on CBS.
