“She’s beautiful. I did really good,” he says of his wife of just over a month. “It feels great—there's a spiritual strength to it, and I feel a little bit taller now that I’m wearing [my ring].”

Sam showed off his “Body Like a Back Road” inspiration during his performance of the song last month at the ACM Awards.

“It was her first time to an awards show like that,” the singer says of Hannah Lee’s 15 seconds of fame at the ACMs. “This is her second one so I wanted to just kind of throw her in the deep end.”

Sam and Hannah Lee wed in an intimate ceremony in Georgia on April 15th.
