Australian country star Andrew Swift drives along a rural highway on his way to play at the opening of a toilet block named in his honour.
With three country chart-topping albums and a swag of Golden Guitar awards to his name, why not add an outhouse of one's own to the collection?
A regular performer at Oodies Cafe in Bundaberg, Queensland, Swift once jokingly asked the owners why The Waifs' guitarist and songwriter Josh Cunningham had a stage named after him there.
"I said, 'It could have been worse, you could have named the toilet after me'," Swift tells AAP from the road.
"They said they were actually building a toilet block and that was going to happen."
This illustrious gig, a quick pit stop on a national tour that stretches into 2026, is mercifully not a sign of how things are panning out for Swift.
Having believed writing, performing and touring award-winning music was life's pinnacle just a few years ago, he unexpectedly found love when the COVID-19 pandemic forced him to take a break.
His fourth album Lucky Stars, released on Friday, reflects on just how much his life has changed since.
"I thought I was a restless, nomadic person, who wasn't meant to be in a relationship, that I was meant to be on the road and I was quite content that way," Swift said.
"But it's typical of life, you think you've got it worked out and there's a curveball thrown your way.
"I was busy chasing a dream of being a musician but when I had a moment to slow down and meet somebody it all worked out differently."
Swift's partner Simone Sordello makes her debut on the album in a sweet duet called Oh Valentine, an ode to the couple's daughter, born in mid-2025.
Before the arrival of Valentine, a family name that stretches back several generations, Swift was worried about how he might adjust to fatherhood, much like many dads-to-be.
"I was terrified," he said.
"I'm an over-thinker, I'm someone who struggled with the idea of being loved for years in relationships.
"So to then have that concern with a child, it was probably a natural thought for me to have but fair to say it's worked out."
The couple recorded the song while expecting Valentine, collaborating with Nashville-based Australian songwriter Phil Barton, who has worked with country artists Lee Kernaghan, Kaylee Bell and the Wolfe Brothers.
"Hope you dare to chase a dream," the pair croon to Valentine on the track.
It sounds like she might be encouraged to follow in the footsteps of her dad, who not so long ago was flipping burgers and working as a caravan salesman.
"Your mind wanders and you start hoping what she might be like, and what the future holds in store for her," Swift said.
"The overall feeling of this album is everything's really good right now."
