I feel like I get a tweet every other day: ‘Can Thomas Rhett’s dancing get any more awkward?’ Which is hilarious to me. But I like to move, what can I say? – Thomas Rhett
I’m not just trying to be good at one thing and then call it a day. I want to be like Bruno Mars. – Thomas Rhett
Dad told me that before I was born, he would put my mom’s stomach up to the speaker and play Led Zeppelin. – Thomas Rhett
I’m obsessed with Bruno Mars’ records. I’d give my right leg to be able to sing like that dude. – Thomas Rhett
If a new artist wants to put out some sort of off-the-wall, crazy deep ballad about the sun or whatever, it might be hard to get traction. It’s so much easier for someone established to put out a really heartfelt, deep song and get it played in radio. – Thomas Rhett
Any time you’re nominated for anything, it’s a true blessing and something you should be really excited about, but it’s sort of time to not be considered new anymore because I don’t really feel like I’m new. I’m just glad people still see me as fresh. I wish there was a ‘fresh country artist category’ rather than ‘new.’ – Thomas Rhett
You definitely get the answer ‘no’ more times in this business than you do ‘yes.’ It’s what you do with those ‘nos’ that makes your success either great or not. – Thomas Rhett
I’m a normal, horrible, screwed up human being like everyone else. I mean, I’m not horrible person, but I’m just as screwed up as anybody. – Thomas Rhett
My dad is one of my favorite human beings in the world. He’s just a good person, and he could entertain a brick wall. – Thomas Rhett
Thomas Rhett Akins doesn’t sound like a rock star name. I didn’t leave Akins out to convince people my dad wasn’t my dad. I’ve always been called Thomas Rhett. – Thomas Rhett
My position on Speedos changes depending on the country that I’m in. If you’re in Europe, it’s definitely acceptable. – Thomas Rhett
I haven’t always been into fitness. But I noticed that when I’d be on stage playing a show, I could hardly make it through the fifth song without having to take a breather. – Thomas Rhett
I love that my fans are cool with me being lovey-dovey about my wife rather than pretending that I’m single and trying to act all sexy onstage. – Thomas Rhett
I love being the dude that does what no else is doing in the genre. It’s exciting and terrifying at the same time. – Thomas Rhett
Single Record of the Year and New Vocalist were such a blessing to see, but when I saw that I was up for Album of the Year, that’s when I started to be like, ‘What in the world, this is crazy!’ That one really got me in a pretty different way. – Thomas Rhett
I loved going on the road… I think that’s something everybody ought to experience one day – not necessarily as an artist, but just to get out and see the country. – Thomas Rhett
I would love to get shredded or whatever you want to call it, but at the same time, I really enjoy treating myself to a cheat meal more than once a week. I’ll eat a piece of bread, or I’ll drink a beer, and I’ll have fun with my friends. For me, it’s really more about being healthy than it is about gaining 40 lbs. of muscle. – Thomas Rhett
Growing up, as much as country was a big influence in my life, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin were such a close second. My first concert ever was the Rolling Stones in Denver. I snuck a camera backstage and filmed Mick Jagger during sound-check. – Thomas Rhett
I rap on ‘Front Porch Junkies’ and ‘Whatcha Got in that Cup.’ I try to channel my inner Lil Wayne and Drake. It’s fun to be able to freestyle over a country melody and say country words over a rap song. – Thomas Rhett
It is completely a God thing that I am here today because for the first 17 years of my life, I never thought I would ever do music professionally. I’d always liked what my dad did, but I never thought that I wanted to do it, just to be different. – Thomas Rhett
I try not to put myself in a box, so I’ll write with anybody who wants to. I don’t put limitations on my co-writes. – Thomas Rhett
I was not a very good football player. My coach hated me – I don’t know why, I guess it’s probably because I wasn’t very talented. – Thomas Rhett
‘Crash’ is the hardest song I’ve ever sang in my whole life. It’s the lowest in my vocal register and the highest in my register, all within 15 seconds. – Thomas Rhett
I wanted to be so many different things in the beginning – I wanted to be a rocker, I wanted to be a great songwriter, I wanted to be a great melodic singer. – Thomas Rhett
I hate negativity in general. We, as artists, we pour so much into our music and put out something we believe in… it sucks that people tear you down. – Thomas Rhett
I played in a punk rock band in high school called the High Heel Flip Flops. I was the drummer. I played drums for, like, four years. – Thomas Rhett
