Anyone who has followed Florida Georgia Line’s career for the last eight or nine years has seen them evolve into successful singers, songwriters and entertainers, but also good human beings who are deeply aware of their place in the world and the responsibility they have to live with gratitude for all the blessings they’ve experienced in their lives. Looking at the people they are today, versus the people they were in 2010 or 2011, Tyler Hubbard says, “When we started this thing we were just kids, you know what I’m saying? Fresh out of college, chasing a dream, really nothing to lose, which is a fun place to be for a short period of time, having really nothing.”
The evolution really began when Florida Georgia Line started to achieve some success in their career. Tyler says, “You start to build something. You start to build more and more and more and then you become proud of what you’ve built and so you have a new pride about ‘Man, this is special, and this is cool, and look at the fans showing up.’ And then you start to become a little bit more responsible for what you’ve built.”
Perhaps one of the biggest changes in both Tyler and BK’s lives was when they got married. “Our wives come in the picture and the whole thing changes another 180 degrees,” says Tyler, “to where they kind of help us evolve into men you know what I mean, into grown-ups that look at life from a grown up perspective and a different responsibility as humans that have been really blessed.”
It has been a pleasure to witness BK and Tyler becoming the men they are today, and it makes you happy to see them continuing to have success, like with their latest single, “Talk You Out of It,” which is in the top 20 and continuing to climb the charts.
Florida Georgia Line – evolved as humans :44
“Just to try to sum it up, in 2011 and 2010. I mean when we started this thing we were just kids. You know what I’m saying? Fresh out of college, chasing a dream, really nothing to lose, which is a fun place to be for a short period of time, having really nothing. But you start to build something. You start to build more and more and more and then you become proud of what you’ve built and so you have a new pride about ‘Man, this is special, and this is cool, and look at the fans showing up.’ And then you start to become a little bit more responsible for what you’ve built. And then our wives come in the picture and the whole thing changes another 180 degrees to where they kind of help us evolve into men you know what I mean, into grown-ups that look at life from a grown up perspective and a different responsibility as humans that have been really blessed.”
