Meet the New Wave of Country Music Power Couples

Aug 1 2017 - 7:35pm

Tim and Faith aren't going anywhere soon [1], but that doesn't mean a new crop of coupled-up country musicians can't rise up to join 'em. These pairs are not only talented, they are adorably gushy about just how much they love each other. Whether they're writing songs about their romance or just looking really cute together on the red carpet [2], they are starry-eyed, boot-wearin' relationship goals. Meet the new wave of country music power couples!

Jackie Lee and Taylor Dye

One peek at the Instagram accounts of country musicians Jackie Lee [4] and Taylor Dye of Maddie & Tae and you'll see why we can't get enough of this couple. In 2015, Jackie told us how they met:

"I did a show with Taylor — the only show we'd done with each other. We were in San Jose, CA, last October. I asked her out on our first date exactly seven days later. She's such an unbelievable person, and I'm a very, very lucky guy."

Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd

Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd [5] are both ridiculously talented and adorable with each other. Maren [6], who won a Grammy earlier this year, recently posted this sweet note on Instagram [7]:

"Years ago we made a pact. A handshake that we'd try this 'artist thing' out because our hearts were telling us to do so, but we also agreed we'd never let ego or jealousy precede the love we have for one another. Saw you close your first ever tour this week and just a few short years ago, I was meeting you in a dimly lit writing room somewhere; intrigued and smiling like a lunatic at a boy with a legal pad full of song titles. I'm still confused at why you don't own a laptop. Your heart is unlike anyone's I've ever known, @RyanHurd. You've been at my side for every award & moment, and now I get to see you shake this world up. Chase your dream and cheer theirs on, too."

Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans

Kelsea Ballerini [8] and Australian musician Morgan Evans got engaged on Christmas Day [9] after dating for nine months (the two met while cohosting Australia's Country Music Channel Awards in 2016). Kelsey wrote this about the engagement:

"This morning, 9 months and 13 days later, he got down on one knee in the kitchen while I was burning pancakes and asked me to marry him. Loving him has been the greatest gift of my life. And now I get to do it for life. #HECALLEDDIBS."

Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly

Country musicians Kacey Musgraves and Ruston Kelly [10] got engaged on Christmas Eve last year. Her caption for this photo is too sweet: "I NEVER KNEW LOVE COULD BE THIS FUN."

Miranda Lambert and Anderson East

After her split from Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert [11] announced her new relationship with musician Anderson East with a cuddly photo of the two [12] in early 2016. They've since hit the red carpet [13] and celebrated birthdays together [14]. Kicking off the year, Miranda posted this Instagram, writing:

"Goodbye 2016. Thanks for everything! Here's to 2017 . . . to lessons and blessin's, music and memories, friendships and hardships. I'm ready for all. And I'm so thankful to ring in this new year with love. @andersoneast 💗"

Lindsay Ell and Bobby Bones

Canadian country singer Lindsay Ell [15], whose debut album Worth the Wait just dropped in March, is dating radio host and comedy musician Bobby Bones. The couple made their relationship Instagram official with this sweet photo and the caption: "2 years. friends. Now. 👫. @lindsayell."
