Rhett wears it well with new single
Tuesday, February 2, 2016 – Thomas Rhett's "T-Shirt" is the third single from his ACM nominated album "Tangled Up" (The Valory Music Co.).
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.

Life Changes
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. However, writing Rhett off by stamping a cowboy boot and hollering "That ain't country!" writes off some truly standout songs - created by combining the best elements of country and pop music. Take the sophisticated songwriting of country and the »»»
Tangled Up
Thomas Rhett picks up where he left off on his 2013 debut, "It Goes Like This," which netted three chart toppers. Rhett would be hard to categorize as country, although in the big tent philosophy of what passes these days, country serves more as a marketing niche. He's more soul, funk and hip hop than country. His catchy, bouncy "Crash and Burn," another number one song, is squarely soulful pop with a few small sonic tweaks (whistles, backing "uhs" near the end) »»»
