Country artist, Thomas Rhett, has been around the country music scene since 2012. He rose to fame after his hit single, "It Goes Like This," and now with his third album out, people are hopping on the Rhett train. After the major success of his second album, Tangled Up, his love ballad "Die a Happy Man," and his lovely social media family, fans are obsessed with his music and personal life. Rhett has collaborated with multiple artists like Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, and Brett Eldredge. His first headliner tour was just announced, and he is proving he is the country star to watch.
Move over Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, and Blake Shelton, here are seven reasons why Thomas Rhett is the next country star:
1. His lyrics put you in the feels...
With his new album, Life Changes, Rhett amped up his lyrics. Every song tells a story about his life, but he also can make the songs relate to his fans. He's able to sing about how much he loves someone, but also how he just likes to party and hang with his friends.
2. He's a cross over between country-pop...
Undoubtedly, country has taken a turn from the drawl of Willie Nelson to the new pop feel. Thomas Rhett has been able to make country music into dance music. Not only are you able to slow dance to his music, but you may even hear it while you're at a party.
3. He can make you cry in a minute...
His one track, "Marry Me," tells the story about a boy who wants to marry the girl he loves, but she's getting married to someone else. This song has all the themes of a tragic romance movie all wrapped up into a 3-minute ballad. You basically want to cry because its so sad, and then cry some more because you want someone to love you that much.
4. He's relatable...
Along with his singing career, Rhett also hosts country award shows. He's able to show his fun, charismatic personality. He also keeps his fans in the loop on his life. He shows his southern living lifestyle and his down home roots on his Instagram. Not only did his family just adopt a daughter, but they recently had a baby girl.
5. His voice...
Rhett's voice has such a vocal range. He can go from a raspy deep note, to a melodious high note. Even when he he's live, he sounds as good as he does on record.
6. His performance style...
Whether he is behind his guitar or all mic, Rhett knows how to rock a performance. He dances around the stage, interacts with fans, and brings special guests out. He truly puts on a show.
7. He's drool worthy...
This may be superficial but he is extremely fun to look at. He has the whole country/rock n' roll look going for him. Lauren is definitely one lucky wife.
