His fourth studio album just dropped, he's nominated for a CMT Music Award and he's taking his girlfriend on a date somewhere she's never been — an awards show!The 38-year-old country star spoke to ET's Nischelle Turner and Rachel Smith in Nashville where he revealed that, when he takes his girlfriend Courtney Little to Monday's CMT Awards, it'll mark the first time she's ever attended an awards show.«I'm excited to take her,» the «You Should Be Here» crooner said. «She's never been to an awards show.» When asked to confirm Courtney's his plus-one, Swindell gushed, «Oh yeah.

Always.»Swindell also confirmed to ET that his and Courtney's first date happened to be while on the set of his music video for «Some Habits.» He'd previously opened up about meeting her years ago at a NASCAR event.

They exchanged numbers but never really got to hang out, safe for a few random run-ins here and there. When it was time to cast his love interest for the «Some Habits» music video, Swindell jumped at the opportunity to extend Courtney the invite.A post shared by Cole Swindell (@coleswindell)«That's true,» he said. «I mean, we've known each other and been talking.

We were about to make the video and I asked the team, 'Hey, do I have a say who's going to be in this?' Because we weren't together yet, and I was like, 'We're not going to be together if I put somebody else in this.
