Guyton, who isone of the few Black artists in Nashville, explained how her pregnancy has weighed heavily on her: “I’ve seen racial injustice happen to my husband. I’ve had a ‘Karen’ falsely make claims against him and say some of the most heinous things, like the N-word. I’m growing this Black child in my belly that is going to have to face this. I pray for him.”
Sharing her initial mindset when she learned her happy pregnancy news, Guyton told PEOPLE that she was “completely shocked and terrified and scared” at first.
“In my mind, as a woman in the music industry, you think, ‘Oh, I can’t be pregnant and have a career. I can’t be a mom and have a career.’ I thought those things,” she said. “I had to just completely do some deprogramming in my mind and realize that we all deserve happiness and we all deserve a family.”
