SCOTTY McCREERY’S “SEE YOU TONIGHT” SERVES AS PROPOSAL SONG FOR COUPLE ON SOUTHWEST FLIGHT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — (Apr. 8, 2015) — Scotty McCreery’s music played Cupid for a couple on a Southwest flight, and now he’s hoping to meet them.
In a letter featured in the March 2015 issue of Southwest: The Magazine,
Greg Freyer wrote “Dear Southwest, I planned to get engaged on a
Southwest flight as my girlfriend flew home ‘alone’ after visiting me. I
work odd hours, so the day my girlfriend was supposed to leave, I woke
her up around 3:30 AM to say goodbye and ‘left for the airport.’ I
instead drove to the Detroit airport and got on her flight. After
takeoff, a flight attendant announced that a debit card with my
girlfriend’s name on it had been found. When they handed it to her, ‘See
You Tonight’ by Scotty McCreery started playing. I walked up from the
back row, took the intercom and proposed!”
“I read this story while on a recent Southwest flight,” said McCreery.
“It’s awesome that ‘See You Tonight’ is now their proposal song! That
song was my first top 10 hit and I loved writing it with Ashley Gorley
and Zach Crowell. It’s already brought me a lot of luck and great
memories, and I hope it does the same for Greg and his fiancée.”
McCreery is hoping the happy couple will get in touch with him. “I’d
love to give Greg and his fiancée tickets to a show and have them come
backstage so we can meet and celebrate their engagement. I hope Greg
hears that I’m looking for him and that he e-mails my team at
info@ScottyMcCreery.com so we can connect.”
The Mercury Nashville / 19 / Interscope Records recording artist is
currently writing songs and preparing to work on his upcoming third
album. McCreery scored two consecutive Top 10 hits (“See You Tonight”
and “Feelin’ It”) from his sophomore album See You Tonight, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard
Top Country Albums chart. That album’s title song, co-written by the
singer, was one of three singles from the “American Idol” champion that
were certified Platinum by the RIAA in the same week (the other two
being “The Trouble with Girls” and “I Love You This Big” from his
Platinum-certified first album Clear as Day, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard
Top 200 Albums chart). The ACM, CMT Music, ACA, and ICM Award winner
will be performing at the Fargodome in Fargo, North Dakota on Apr. 9,
the Devent Center in Norfolk, Nebraska on Apr. 10, Treasure Island
Record and Casino on Welch, Minnesota on Apr. 11, and The Arcada Theater
in St. Charles, Illinois on Apr. 12. He will join Rascal Flatts on the
road this summer beginning in May.
