Rhett wears it well with new single
With five consecutive chart-toppers, including a huge hit with "Die a Happy Man," Rhett said, "I couldn't be more pumped that country radio jumped all over 'T-Shirt' because I have wanted to put it out since my first record. Everyone has been in that fun 'honeymoon' phase of dating, which is what this song is all about. It's already a staple in our set each night - the fans got into it as soon as we added it, and it's just one of those I let loose on and have a good time."
Rhett scored three ACM nominations Monday for "Album of the Year" for "Tangled Up," Single Record of the Year for the record-breaking "Die A Happy Man" and New Male Vocalist of the Year.
Rhett serves as support for Jason Aldean's We Were Here 2016 Tour. The tour picks back up this week in Southaven, Miss. on Feb. 4, Oklahoma City, Okla. on Feb. 5 and Columbia, Mo. on Feb. 6.

Rhett Atkins' boy never really struggled to get noticed, but starting around 2015, his impact went nuclear – "Die A Happy Man" wasn't just a number one, but a monster that stayed there for two months. The ACM Award for Entertainer of the Year still carries a lot of weight, and Rhett nabbed it in 2019.
Still, Rhett's sound has its doubters – a lot of the air-quote country hits were grafted to other dance, pop and soul styles. ...
Thomas Rhett represents a dilemma for traditional country music fans. Namely, that he doesn't create much country music that appeals to traditional tastes. Although "Center Point Road" doesn't entirely reverse that trend, even during its most overtly pop moments, this new collection of songs is still a pretty good one.
The best song is also a love song - to a truck - titled "That Old Truck." It's the kind of song that only makes sense within country music circles. ...
Thomas Rhett references mangoritas, Coldplay and verified Instagram accounts on his third album, and for some, that may be a deal-breaker. His ultra-contemporary style and pop culture smarts may be anathema for fans of traditional country.
