You may have noticed that in most of Rascal Flatts‘ publicity photos, they’re stone-faced. No smiles. Not even a grin. But now that the group has signed a new record deal with Big Machine Records (home of Taylor Swift), they’re showing their pearly whites like nobody’s business (see photo above).

“Bam!” said the group’s Jay DeMarcus, pointing to the smiley cover of their new single, “Why Wait,” at last week’s press conference announcing the new deal. Later, Jay joked, “I’m just thrilled that Taylor let us on the label, really.”

“We said, ‘Scott, is she in Europe? Well let’s go ahead and get this done,” added Gary LeVox. With a smile, of course.
