Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott has something new to be happy about! She's the latest country artist to get engaged!

If you remember last year's Tim McGraw tour featured Lady A and the new group Love & Theft. It was during that tour that Hillary met Chris Tyrell - the drummer for Love & Theft. Hillary says there were nights that she would stay up til 3 in the morning talking on the phone with Chris and knew there could be a future in this relationship.

Over the 4th of July weekend, Chris and Hillary were out on a hike, returned to the lake in East Tennessee where they were staying and Chris hit his knee to pop the big question. Hillary tells us they were still in their workout clothes standing on the deck. Hillary says "We feel so blessed by God that He sent us each other, and we are looking so forward to forever together!"

No date has been set for the ceremony.
