Ty Herndon

These country artists are hard-working and ambitious... just like you!

It's a poignant take on the most wonderful time of the year, but it comes to a happy ending.

"Alex and I made it official here in Tennessee last night," Herndon says.

Terri Clark, Sam Williams and Chrissy Metz were among the artists on hand for a night filled with powerful performances.

After opening up publicly about the most difficult chapters of his personal life, Ty Herndon says he feels liberated onstage.

Herndon's fiancé Alex might not know much about country music -- but he's excited to learn.

"It’s more important than ever that Nashville come together to send a strong message," Herndon says.

Who's got your vote this week?

“As soon as I heard this song, I knew that Terri Clark was the only person I wanted to sing it with me."

"I have met the person I know I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with."

She stepped in with some words of wisdom when he really felt lost.

Only a country music songwriter could turn a story like this into one every single person in America can relate to.
