CURRENT SINGLE: “You Didn’t”
Brett Young first saw his wife Taylor in a photo that a mutual friend posted on social media. He was so struck by her that he had to meet her, so he slid into her DM‘s. He doesn’t remember his exact opening line, but he’s pretty sure he said something cheesy. Despite that, things worked out well. He and Taylor have now been married for four and a half years and have two beautiful daughters, but Brett says these days he would advise against sliding into someone’s DM’s unless you absolutely have to.
Brett Young – sliding into DM’s advice :52
“My advice this far into the DM game is don’t do it unless you have to. Cause I think if you happen to walk into a bar and see a pretty girl, it’s not like you went to every bar in town looking for a pretty girl to talk to. You went to that bar, she went to that bar, it’s random, then you go talk to her. But like, she could essentially assume that you’ve been on Facebook for the last 72 hours just looking for one girl to talk to, or talking to like a hundred of ‘em. It’s just a different world that we live in, and so my advice would be don’t sneak into DM’s unless you absolutely have to. That being said, if you’re in the position that I was in where I had to know this girl, just understand that you’re gonna be thought of as creepy and they’re gonna go all the way down the rabbit hole of your social media before they decide if they’re even gonna respond or not. So, don’t say too much, maybe just like, ‘Hey, I think you’re beautiful.’ That’s kind of old-school. ‘I’d love to get to know ya.’ Something that doesn’t sound like a cheesy line that you just came up with might be your best bet. But she admits that she thought I was a creep at first (big laugh).”
Brett is currently sitting in the top 10 with his latest single, “You Didn’t,” and he is deep into tour rehearsals for his upcoming 5 TOUR 3 2 1, which kicks off March 30th, with specials guests Morgan Evans and Ashley Cooke, and will run through May 20th.
