In a world of doom scrolling and artificial intelligence, it feels like good news is hard to come by. However, for the second time this week, I found myself crying happy tears while watching a reel from Mitchell Tenpenny and his wife Meghan Patrick. In a beautiful announcement, Patrick mentioned how thankful she is for an amazing husband who will also make an amazing dad. Shocked and nearly speechless, Tenpenny only managed to ask “Are you serious?” Later in the reel, the couple revealed they are expecting a baby girl. As the video wrapped, Mitchell pulled the best practical joke, telling his wife nothing recorded (giving Meghan quite the start!) Thankfully, all the sweet and hilarious content ended up fully recorded for posterity and internet. Congratulations to happy the Mama and Papa who cannot wait for baby Tenpenny to arrive this fall.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
