Lady A’s Hillary Scott Says All Three of Her Daughters Have Musical Gifts
Lady A’s Hillary Scott is discovering that musical talent truly runs in the family.
“All three of my girls, they have musical gifts,” Scott, 38, told Us Weekly while celebrating her new holiday single, “Hard to Wait for Christmas,” featuring her 11-year-old daughter Eisele Kaye. “It’s interesting how they all express it differently.”
A Family Full of Talent
Scott revealed that her 6-year-old twins, Betsy and Emory, are already showing signs of musical creativity.
“Emory will get melodies in her head, and she’ll ask me, ‘Can we go around the corner and record this melody moment? I want to record it so I remember it,’” Scott shared. “Betsy loves to dance. … They love very different sounding music too.”
Betsy, she said, enjoys everything from the Descendants soundtrack to Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” while Emory prefers listening to Imagine Dragons during school car rides.
Eisele Takes the Stage
As the oldest, Eisele has had more opportunities to join her mom on tour — experiences that helped prepare her for a big moment this year. The mother-daughter duo performed “Hard to Wait for Christmas” live at the Grand Ole Opry during the Opry Country Christmas show on December 5.
“She’s in her musical theater era right now,” Scott said proudly. “We listen to the Hamilton soundtrack several times a week. We’re getting to go see it in New York — that’s kind of an early Christmas gift this year.”
A Song Meant to Spark Joy
Their festive new single, “Hard to Wait for Christmas,” celebrates the anticipation and magic of the holidays.
“We hope this song allows for moments — even if it’s just the 3 and a half minutes it plays — where families can smile and laugh and be playful together,” Scott shared. “If I had a Christmas wish, that would be it… that it brings joy in a season that can sometimes be very hard.”
Faith and Family First
Scott also credited her husband, Chris Tyrrell, for his support and reflected on how faith keeps their family grounded.
“We wake up Christmas morning, and the first thing we do is read Luke 2,” she said. “Out of all the gifts that we receive, the greatest gift was the miracle that was born on Christmas.”
The Grammy winner added that she hopes to instill in her daughters a sense of love and purpose.
“We just always pause and make sure that’s where we begin each day — in the spirit of love and being light in the world. I hope that what we’re teaching our children is to go be that light for others.”
For Hillary Scott, Christmas this year is more than just a celebration — it’s a harmony of faith, family, and music, perfectly in tune.
