The country singer told Tiffany they are heading to Italy to shoot a music video for their new duo Crazy Love. The beloved couple recently starred in the music video for Lawson’s song The Way I See You.
Lawson kept the main reason for their trip a secret as he wanted to surprise the Avengers: Infinity War star with the proposal.
He said: “It has been a roller coaster of a few days so far, from our first stop at the Colosseum in Rome, to a Vespa ride through the countryside of Siena, to a lovely dinner in San Gimignano, to a horse and carriage ride through Florence – it all leads to the main reason I’m here: asking Tiffany if she would spend the rest of her life by my side.

The former Nickelodeon actress said she had started to grow suspicious but was still surprised and elated when the Tennessee native asked the question.
“I knew something was suspicious when Lawson got terribly secretive with texts and planning with others,” she explained. “However, he still blew me away with this surprise!”
“Traveling to Italy for any occasion is a dream, but above all for an engagement.
In Love: “Getting to know Tiffany – her heart, her passions and her dreams – has been the greatest joy of my life, and we’ve created so many wonderful memories together over the past year,” Lawson told the people magazine.

Lawson said, “Our engagement took place at sunset with just a few single roses and the serenity of the Tuscan backdrop. I was delighted and delighted when she said “YES!”
