Watch as Tayla and Tre deliver their iconic grandparents’ pure Country music. and Mrs.There’s never been a more dynamic country music duo than Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn! Now, the torch has been passed to the next generation: Tayla Lynn and Tre Twitty. Somehow, in spite of it all, they manage to find some lasting love for each other between all the barbs. “You’re the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop,” Lynn retorts. “You’re the reason I changed to beer from soda pop,” Twitty says.

Fittingly, their first single, “After the Fire Is Gone” was about finding a spark with each other and chasing it (even if the characters in the song were technically cheating on their spouses). Lynn and Twitty knew they had something special from the beginning, when they released We Only Make Believe, their first collaborative LP, in 1971.
