Sara Evans is a little bit Stronger
Sara Evans was on-hand in Nashville this week celebrating her multi-week number one hit “A Little Bit Stronger.” Co-writers Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Hillary Lindsey and Luke Laird joined her at the party for the song originally on the Country Strong movie soundtrack. The song was inspired by a tough breakup Scott suffered through. Luke Laird, known for his hits with superstar Carrie Underwood, earned his sixth number one single with A Little Bit Stronger. It’s the first number one non-Lady Antebellum track that Scott has written on.
