LATEST #1 SONG: “What’s Your Country Song” (new single coming soon)
Thomas Rhett is the reigning ACM Awards Co-Entertainer of the Year with Carrie Underwood, and he’s nominated for the award again this year. Last year, Thomas remembers the moment right before he won. “When I was standing backstage and I was listening to Keith call the names, I was just like, there’s no way. And when he said there was a tie, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! This is amazing!’ recalls Thomas. “First time in ACM history that anyone has ever tied for Entertainer of the Year.”
Having built his whole career toward one day being able to join the elite list of Entertainers of the Year, Thomas was thrilled for the win, and more than happy to share the title with Carrie Underwood. “For me to get to tie this award with Carrie Underwood is just mind blowing. I have worked so hard to even be thought of for the nomination of this category, with our band and our crew and our management and everybody. We’ve just put so many countless hours in rehearsing and making our show as entertaining as it can possibly be. And so, to get to share that with Carrie is absolutely a dream come true.”
Not only is Thomas Rhett nominated for Entertainer of the Year at next Sunday’s ACM Awards, he’s also up for Male Vocalist, Musical Event for “Be A Light,” and as a songwriter in the Song of the Year category, for co-writing Old Dominion’s “Some People Do.” Thomas will also be performing on the ACM Awards, which air Sunday night, April 18th, live from multiple locations in Nashville, at 8pm ET/7pm CT, on CBS.
