Hillary Scott is going to have a baby girl.

The singer-songwriter, who is expecting her first child with husband and drummer Chris Tyrrell, confirmed the gender of her baby to Us Weekly.

Scott met Tyrrell, lead drummer of band "Love and Theft", during Tim McGraw's Southern Voice tour in 2010. Lady Antebellum's song "Just a Kiss" revolves around Scott's relationship with Tyrrell. The couple, who started dating in July 2010, tied the knot in January 2012.

Scott announced her pregnancy on Twitter in December 2012.

"Chris & I are excited to announce that our Christmas gift has arrived a little early this year! We are having a BABY! We feel so blessed!!!" the mom-to-be wrote.

The pregnant singer found happiness in giving her nearly 77,000 Twitter followers frequent updates about her pregnancy: "I've never dreamed weirder dreams than I have pregnant...if I could only recall all the details. It would make a killer movie!" Scott wrote Feb. 19.

In a similar way, she also revealed her cravings. "Who has two thumbs and just asked her husband, and very nicely I might add, to run into the grocery store for pop tarts??? ME!!! #pregnancy," she wrote Jan. 15. The baby is due in summer.

The expecting singer, who joined hands with Nicks in a show named "CMT Crossroads" recently, was very happy and proud that her unborn child is getting the opportunity to listen to and become familiar with the sound of one of the most popular singers of the country, Stevie Nicks, even before entering the world.

"Driving over here today, I was thinking [that] the first voice - other than mine, my husband's speaking voice and the boys - that our baby's ever heard is Stevie Nicks," People magazine quoted the proud mom-to-be as saying during HOT 20 Countdown, aired in February 2013. "I just thought, 'What a lucky kid already.'"

In 2011, Tyrrell started working for Lady Antebellum's band. Apart from Scott, "Lady Antebellum", based in Nashville, Tennessee, consists of Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood.
