Next, the video shows the singer, on a tour bus, delivering the happy news to his mother over the phone. “How are you doing?” his mother asked, the video shows.

“Not as good as you’re about to be, you got a new grandbaby,” Brantley says.

The video then shows photos and videos of Amber and the pair’s newborn baby on the bus.

“She’s amazing, she’s absolutely amazing,” Brantley’s mother says of Amber over the phone.

The country singer further described the experience in his Instagram caption, writing: “So last night might have been the craziest night of my life. Watching such an amazing woman do such an amazing thing is something I’ll never forget.”
