Lauren Alaina Details Sad Occassion
With Tootsie's passing, the singer has no grandmothers left. Previously, the singer revealed the song "The Locket" reminded her of her deceased grandma on her mom's side. "That song's like The Notebook," Alaina told USA Today."The first time I heard it, I bawled. When I was recording it in the studio, I had to take breaks because it was getting to me."
Her maternal grandmother passed away when the singer was in 5th grade. She called it, "the most traumatic thing that ever happened to me." Alaina explained that her father called in the middle of the night that something was wrong. "I heard him on the voicemail, and I heard her not being able to breathe, like she was suffocating," Lauren recalled. "I could hear her gasping in the background, and Papaw was crying. Then I got up, but I didn't get to it in time. I ran downstairs, crying, 'Mama, something's wrong with my nana.' I remember getting there and running in the house before my parents."
The family was unable to save her. "My dad made us leave, but me and my brother hid," she said. "We were, like, in the closet."
