Even though Thomas Rhett is the two-year reigning Male Vocalist for the ACM Awards and he’s won two CMA Awards for Video and Single of the Year, he says, “Every time I’m nominated, I go in with very low expectations for myself. But it’s always super cool when you do win.”
Thomas has two nominations heading into this year’s CMA Awards, and while he is extremely grateful for both nominations, he admits, “This year to be nominated for Male Vocalist and Record of the Year – or Album of the Year, or whatever you wanna call it – is about the coolest award that I could be nominated for because you do spend so much time on the road writing and figuring out what the direction of the album is gonna be. And when you have that many people that have voted for an album like that, to be one of the top five or six is just mind blowing, so really excited.”
Win or lose, Thomas says, “The CMAs are like one of my favorite nights of the year. I get to see everybody and get to dress up and it’s just gonna be a fun night.”
Besides being nominated, Thomas will be performing his latest single, “Remember You Young,” on the 53rd Annual CMA Awards, this coming Wednesday, November 13th, at 8/7pm CT on ABC.

But just at the same time, this year to be nominated for Male Vocalist and Record of the Year – or Album of the Year, or whatever you wanna call it – is about the coolest award that I could be nominated for because you do spend so much time on the road writing and figuring out what the direction of the album is gonna be.
