Why Brad Paisley Admits Taylor Goldsmith Is the 'Cool One' on Double Dates with Wives Kimberly and Mandy (Exclusive)
The country singer, 53, and folk-rock band Dawes — which is comprised of brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith — released new song "Raining Inside" on Thursday, March 6, and Paisley tells PEOPLE that he's honored just to get the chance to work with the talented duo.
"I love Taylor and Griffin. I don't even know where to start with the type of people that they are and the true brilliance of those guys as well as the resilience from what they've been through in the last year," he says, referencing the loss of the brothers' homes and much of their musical equipment in the Los Angeles fires in January.
At the Grammys on Feb. 2, Paisley joined the band for a tribute to L.A. in the wake of the destruction, which the singer says was a moment he's "never going to forget."
"Just to be able to have looked at [Taylor] right before the lights came up and we start playing the first song of the Grammy Awards, and it's the first time they'd ever done the show, and to look at him and say, 'Can you believe we're doing this right now together?'" Paisley recalls. "And this was focused on them, and I think the world saw them for the first time. I can't wait to see what happens with them."
"Raining Inside" is inspired by the feeling of being unable to "outrun the rain clouds," says Paisley, who has written several songs with Goldsmith just because they're "pals," he says.
"I don't know whether social media or screens or what [that] causes so much of the anxiety and the intangible depression I think that is sort of an epidemic, but it's there," says the "Whiskey Lullaby" singer. "And I think we wanted to write a song that deals with somebody who can't shake it. And then also when we first wrote it was going to be something that I cut with [Dawes] just for my record and then I said, 'We should just do this together completely.'"

Paisley, who is set to embark on his newly announced Truck Still Works Tour in May, also enjoys hanging out with Goldsmith in any free time they both have, too, as Paisley and his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, often double date with Goldsmith and his wife, Mandy Moore, when they're in town.

"East Nashville's the hip place. In a good way. I'm not at all cool there," says Paisley of one of his memorable outings with the couple. "So it's funny because we walked in to one our favorite restaurants there, and it's me, Kim, Mandy, and Taylor. And when we were going in, I said, 'Taylor, you're the only one they're going to be excited about in here.' And he said, 'Oh, I don't know about that.'"

The group then enjoys their dinner, says Paisley, and as the evening is coming to a close, the waiter brings the check over.
"And he bypasses Mandy Moore, myself, my wife and goes straight to Taylor and says, 'I think you're amazing. I just wanted to say that,'" Paisley recalls with a laugh. "And I said [to Goldsmith] 'I win! I told you. I kicked that through the uprights!'"
"And what's funny is I felt the same way," Paisley adds. "He was the cool one at the table in many ways."
"Raining Inside" is available everywhere now, and tickets for Paisley's Truck Still Works Tour are also on sale now at BradPaisley.com.

'Below Deck''s Captain Kerry Says Viewers Only Saw 'a Short Part' of Charter Guest's Meltdown: 'It Was Very Intense' (Exclusive)
"We could only put so much into a 45-minute episode," Captain Kerry tells PEOPLENEED TO KNOW Below Deck star Captain Kerry Titheradge opens up about charter guest Kelly's meltdown that saw her removed from the mega-yacht Titheradge looks back on the incident in a new interview, telling PEOPLE exclusively that it's the "craziest experience" he's had as a captain Below Deck airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET on BravoThis week's episode of Below Deck continues the epic meltdown of charter guest Kelly, and Captain Kerry Titheradge is breaking down all the drama. Last week, viewers saw Kelly get so drunk and confrontational with Titheradge and his crew that it got to the point where police had to be called to step in and remove Kelly from the mega-yacht. Titheradge tells PEOPLE exclusively that viewers only get to see "a short part" of the altercation. "We could only put so much into a 45-minute episode," Titheradge says of the incident. "But it was very, very, very intense for everybody in the vessel." Titheradge calls the Kelly situation the "craziest experience" he's had as a captain. Titheradge says he "had concerns" as soon as Kelly boarded the yacht with her friends. "Her energy was intense," he recalls, adding that after being in the business as long as he has, you tend to figure out quickly "who to watch out for." As Kelly continued drinking with her friends, Titheradge says he "could hear how she was being belligerent" and, after making his own assessment of the situation, decided to cut her off from alcohol "not to punish her, but to protect her and everyone else." "It's such a hard thing to do at first because you don't want to be a party pooper, right? But it's about safety," Titheradge continues. "Her enjoyment is secondary to her safety." He explains that he instructed his crew to offer Kelly sparkling water as an alternative so as not to "embarrass" her in front of her friends, but she "refused" that option. Things took a turn for the worst when Kelly requested to go out on the banana boat and, ignoring Titheradge's request for her to wear a life jacket, jumped into the water without one in an act of defiance. After pulling Kelly out of the water, Titheradge and his crew attempted to get a handle on the situation as Kelly grew increasingly more aggressive with them. Titheradge says he has "absolutely" never had a charter guest get aggressive with him or his crew like this before. "I was trying to physically stop her from getting in the water, at first using my body to block her, but then she'd try to get past me," he remembers. "I asked the crew to move up. They kind of made a wall so she couldn't get past us to get her into a safer area of the vessel." Titheradge says he is "just very impressed" with how his crew handled the tense situation. Titheradge says the decision to get police involved was one he didn't take lightly. He says he made the call because he didn't see things improving despite many attempts to quell the situation. "She couldn't stay with us. We weren't the place for her to get better," Titheradge notes. "I tried to give her some time to chill out inside the vessel," he continues. "I had my crew staged at every exit so she couldn't get out of the boat for her own safety, but she just wouldn't calm down." Calling the police for help in a situation like this was a first for Titheradge. "Normally, it's the opposite," he jokes. Normally, I'm in Saint-Tropez and the Bose [speaker] is playing a bit too loud and I'm asking the police to leave us alone. I'm not asking them to come and help us." Titheradge praised the primary charter guest, Helen, for having a "very calming nature" and helping deal with the situation. "When things got to the point where [getting Kelly off the boat] was the only option, I couldn't send her ashore by herself," he reasons. "I mean, that wouldn't be responsible at all, so I asked Helen to go with her." Titheradge also raved about Helen's "sense of empathy" for making her "the right person to ensure Kelly wasn't left alone because she was in such a fragile state." "The next part I'm worried about is when she comes to herself, what will she do when she realizes what she's just done on TV?" he says of what he thought at the time. As seen in this week's episode, Helen rejoins the charter after taking care of Kelly throughout the night. Despite the dramatic situation, Titheradge says he's "got compassion" for Kelly. "I looked at her like a wounded animal," he says. "Mental health is very important to me, and I could see that she just wasn't there. She wasn't herself." Titheradge reveals that "the last thing" he wanted was for Kelly to get arrested, so he approached the "delicate" situation with authorities with that in mind. That, plus the officers spoke French and there were nationalities and jurisdictions to factor into the equation, too. "I really had to impart to them what the situation was because she was a danger to herself more than anybody else," he says. "I gave her plenty of time to cool down — you only saw a short part of that," Titheradge continues. "I didn't want to get the police involved in an incident that was being handled, if you know what I mean." After the dust settled, Titheradge says he has seen Kelly since that fateful day aboard the yacht, "but the incident wasn't discussed."

Anya Taylor-Joy Models This Summer's Must-Have Accessory Trend
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN: Take it from Alexa Chung, Kylie Jenner, and now Anya Taylor-Joy—silk scarves are the hottest accessory of the season. While many have been sporting the item as a belt, as seen on Lola Tung in New York City earlier in July, Taylor-Joy took the trend one step further, twisting and tying three different scarves three separate ways at the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix. The Furiosa actress wrapped a pleated green scarf over her head, allowing her pigtail braids to poke through. With her Dior sunglasses and a cherry-red lip, Taylor-Joy channeled the classic Old Hollywood archetype of a glamorous movie star riding in a convertible down the Italian coastline—an appropriate image for the Formula 1 race. Taylor-Joy also sported a cream lace-trimmed scarf tied around her shoulders, which perfectly complemented her tailored Cinq à Sept shorts, white tank top, and Sam Edelman Mary Janes. To cap it all off, she completed the look with a silk scarf bag by Farm Rio, officially cementing the silk scarf as an easy-yet-dynamic styling tool. The actress was in attendance alongside her husband, Malcolm McRae, who wore his usual uniform of a button-down and slacks. The two were spotted visiting the Ferrari garage and F1 paddock during the qualification session for the Grand Prix. Inside, Taylor-Joy easily popped headphones over her green scarf. She has long been a fan of the Ferrari team, attending numerous races to show her support, and always dressing for the occasion.
