This year, shower Mom with thoughtful acts of kindness. Start with a leisurely morning, perhaps serving her favorite breakfast in bed or taking her to a luxurious brunch in Music City at the Bobby Hotel’s Union Tavern or Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille in Franklin. Let her enjoy the day free from responsibilities by planning a spa day at MassageLuXe with a facial and massage or organizing a peaceful day in nature at Cheekwood Estates & Gardens, leisurely walking the stunning gardens. If she enjoys experiential activities, consider a wine tasting and picnic at Arrington Vineyards or a night at the Grand Ole Opry watching the live country music radio broadcast.

Make your gift meaningful, one that comes from the heart and has sentimental value. It’s about thought and effort, like a handwritten letter expressing your gratitude on a beautiful card from Amy Montgomery Home, a stylish new outfit from Aubree P. Boutique or Birdy Grace Boutique in her favorite color, a keepsake piece of jewelry from Genesis Diamonds, or stop by Total Wine & More and pick up her favorite wine or champagne to celebrate the occasion.

This Mother’s Day exceed her expectations. Take it to the next level and give Mom the gift of relaxation, appreciation, and unforgettable moments. She’s spent a lifetime caring for others so make this day extra special to ensure she feels just as cared for in return. Whether near or far, tell Mom you love her by saying a heartfelt thank you for all she’s done. And in June, don’t forget to show some love to Dad on Father’s Day. He’s pretty special, too!

The catchy single tells the tale of a singer reflecting on past romances that didn’t measure up—each one likened to a different drink. From Jack Daniels and PBR to overly complex concoctions, it becomes clear that nothing beats the simplicity, charm, and timeless appeal of an old fashioned. With its infectious rhythm, clever lyrics, and undeniable energy, “Old Fashioned You” reminds us that the best love—like the classic cocktail—is simple, smooth, and never goes out of style.

“This song is all about looking at past relationships through a fun and lighthearted lens,” said Hughes. “Sometimes we get caught up in all the complicated versions of love, but the truth is, the best love is the kind that’s simple and classic. And just like an old fashioned, it’s the best choice.”

Music lovers can expect an electrifying mix of country flair, clever lyrics, and a message that hits home for anyone who’s navigated love’s twists and turns through a bumpy relationship. Whether you’re reminiscing about the past or embracing the beauty of the simplicity of true love and romance, “Old Fashioned You” will have you dancing, laughing, and maybe even rethinking your choices in love.

Hughes isn’t your average country musician. As a country artist and songwriter, she blends southern rock and blues influences with a bold, soulful, and unmistakably sassy sound that commands attention. A Lexington, Kentucky native, Hughes now calls Spring Hill, Tennessee home, where she has been making waves in the music scene. Award-winning gospel singer and vocal coach Christy Sutherland describes her voice as “rich chocolate cake with soul.” At the same time, The Tennessee Star magazine has dubbed her “country music’s answer to Adele.”

Last year was an incredible year for Hughes. She kicked off 2024 by being named Female Vocalist of the Year at the 10th annual Lexi Music Awards in Kentucky, where her song “Jesus and Jail” also took home Song of the Year. Hughes continued her winning streak with two nominations at the 2024 Josie Music Awards, held at the Grand Ole Opry, where she was honored as the Southern Rock/Country Rock Female Vocalist of the Year. Adding to her list of achievements, Hughes secured her first song cut of the year on Whey Jennings’ highly anticipated debut album, Jekyll & Hyde. The track, released as a single, gained traction on Sirius XM radio and was even selected for an official music video. Hughes continues to make serious waves in the country music scene and has no plans of stopping in 2025.

“Old Fashioned You” is available on all streaming platforms. Stay connected with Hughes on social media at @taylorhughesmusic for exclusive behind-the-scenes content. Visit taylorhughesmusic.com for tour updates, sip, dance, and celebrate the joy of classic love with “Old Fashioned You!”
