Mickey Guyton on embracing motherhood and why she thinks moms should be celebrated every day
Mickey Guyton says her son has brought a "whole new meaning" to her life.
During a recent interview with "Good Morning America," the "Remember Her Name" artist, who welcomed son Grayson in February 2021, spoke about how motherhood has "changed everything" for her.
"Here I was for months planning my child's first birthday and putting together party favors and a cake and those kinds of things -- I never saw myself as that person -- and now that's all I am," she shared. "I just want my son to be taken care of."
"They say don't blink? Don't," she added.
Guyton said when she found out she was pregnant, she initially thought, "Ah, god, this is gonna take forever."
And as time went on, she said she found that "it literally goes by so, so fast." She added, "I just want to fight so hard and give him the best future I possibly can."
The artist said that for Mother's Day this year, her family is going to do whatever her son would like to do.
"I think Mother's Day should be every day personally, after what we go through," she said. "People do not tell you this -- like not only do you have to grow the child, then you have to birth the child, then you have to raise the child and you're the child's life source. We deserve every single day in my personal opinion."
"Just being with my son is all I want to do," she continued. "It doesn't matter what we're doing -- we could sit in the living room for all I care, as long as I'm with him and celebrating being his mom is all I want to do."
Guyton, who released her debut album last year, said she is currently working on new music, including one special song she wrote about her son.
