If Thomas Rhett Didn't Have A Cute Family, He Wouldn't Be Famous
And no, you can't change my mind
If you're an avid country music listener then you know who Thomas Rhett is. Even if you aren't a huge country music person, chances are, you probably still know who Thomas Rhett is. I'm just going to take one for the team - he is incredibly overrated and the only reason he is as famous as he is because he has a cute family.
Yes, I did just say that.
Thomas Rhett released his first album in 2010, but it wasn't until he released the song "Die a Happy Man" in 2015 did he start to gain stardom. Now, "Die a Happy Man" was a cute song that was written about and for his wife. The music video was even cuter. People, especially what I like to call "locals" (locals is just another way of saying bandwagoners), immediately started hyping them up. I saw at least five tweets a day talking about how cute TR and his wife were.
But it got old, super fast.
Since then, Thomas and his wife had adopted a baby and had a baby. Which again, they're absolutely adorable. But I almost feel like Thomas knows how much attention and praise his family gets...so he uses it to his advantage. Almost every song he releases is about his wife/family and he makes sure that fans know that what the song is about. And guess what, he just recently released a new song and...he's advertising it as a song about his wife.
Now, I'm not saying that these songs aren't genuine. I 100% believe that they are. But it's starting to feel like a schtick. I think that TR has finally found what makes him successful and he doesn't want to let go of it. I don't think it's a coincidence that he became super famous because of a song about his wife and now those are the only type of songs he releases.
I mean, think about it, he has a mediocre voice. He isn't the worst singer in country music, but he's also not the best. All of his songs are bland and sound the same. If he didn't have the cute family that he did, I guarantee that people wouldn't pay as much attention to him as they do.
And, that's just fact.
