There must have been something in the water in Nashville in 2019. It seems like more country artists welcomed babies during the last year of the decade than any other year in the past!
To honor 2019’s country music baby boom, we have gathered the “first photos” of 20 babies born to country artists over the course of the year. That may seem like a lot of photos, but by no means does this list reflect every country music baby born in 2019.
We’ve organized our list by birth date, so you’ll see the oldest babies first and the youngest last. If you’ve kept up with any of these artists since they welcomed their new additions, you may be surprised to see how fast they’ve grown since they were born!
Go ahead and scroll through our list of 2019’s country music babies below.

When their newest addition arrived, Chris and Morgane didn’t even say if Baby Stapleton was a boy or girl. But a couple weeks later, Morgane shared a picture of her family’s new addition and wrote, “Sweet boy… It’s hard believe almost a month has already gone by.”
