The latest issue of People magazine has a feature on Tyler Farr‘s recent wedding to his longtime girlfriend Hannah. In the story you’ll get details of Tyler and Hannah’s special day, including a very special surprise performance from Brad Paisley. Tyler was one of the first people to hear Brad’s brand new song “Today,” and after listening to the song, Tyler got up the nerve to ask Brad if he’d sing it at the wedding. Brad, of course, accepted. The two became good friends this summer when Tyler opened from Brad on his tour. Brad’s performance was a surprise to Hannah, and in some ways the performance also surprised Brad, who thinks the song might be a hit at weddings, so he found it funny that not only was he the very first person to sing it at a wedding, but that it was on the very day that the song was released for the rest of the world to hear. Brad can’t wait to see videos of the song being performed at weddings to start rolling in, although he does has some advice for anyone who might sing it…”it’s going to be the Star-Spangled Banner…if they start too high, they’re not going to hit the high note.”
Brad Paisley talks about playing “Today” at a wedding, the same day it was released. (:14)
“It was really bizarre to actually be singing this song at a wedding only like the day it went for radio play. I literally was standing there singing this song on the day the radio was first adding it to their playlists.”

“It was really emotional to see them dancing…this is their first dance, and I’m singing this song. Which I just realized ‘wow’ does this work at these, and I also realize that it’s going to be…for some people it’s going to be the Star-Spangled Banner…if they start too high, they’re not going to hit the high note (laugh) It’s one of those songs that’s kind of rangy. But it’ll be fun to see somebody’s tape for the first time that I see someone else sing this at a wedding.”
