Performing in the Semifinals was undoubtedly a highlight for Tennessee's Tyler Braden, but it wasn't the only one, seeing that he had just gotten married. Braden noted that making the finals would be a fantastic wedding gift, seeing that his wife had supported him throughout his journey. When it came to his song, he explained that it was all about 'understanding' and hoped that the audience would resonate with it yet again. While Braden sang his heart out and garnered support from fans, he seems to have won the jury over in a heartbeat, as they advanced him to the finals. However, Twitter was less than amused by this.
