Walker Hayes may not have taken home a GRAMMY Award on Sunday evening, but he was smiling ear-to-ear with his wife, Laney, by his side at the show.
Hayes attended the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards with his first-ever nomination for Best Country Song for his chart-topping hit, "Fancy Like." Chris Stapleton ultimately took home the trophy, but Hayes was thrilled to be included.
"We're just happy to be here," Hayes shared on social media on Sunday. "It is absolutely remarkable what the Lord can do with a song. Here's to all the nominees and winners tonight! @recordingacademy Also…Laney looking mighty fine in pink if you ask me "
Before entering the GRAMMY Awards red carpet, Hayes shared a photo that finds his wife standing behind him with her arms wrapped around him.
"Laney helping me not be nervous 😂😂😬," the Alabama native captioned the adorable snapshot.
Prior to the show, Hayes shared a clip, soundtracked by his song "Life With You," of himself putting his wife's Tretorn sneaker on, which he captioned, "My Grammy date's glass slipper is a @tretorn 💪 @recordingacademy."
He's in the midst of his headlining Fancy Like Tour and will join artists such as Kane Brown and Brooks & Dunn on the road later this year.
