Thomas Rhett has become such a super star in country music, that he’s likely to get recognized by at least one person wherever he goes, except when he visits other countries. Thomas says, “I think that’s why Italy was so nice. No Italians know us at all. We took a few pictures in Italy, but they were with people that were from America, and you just noticed these Italians just looking at you like, ‘Who is this dude?’ … But it is nice to be anonymous every now and then.”
However, Thomas also loves when his fans recognize him because he says, “You sign up for that. You spend your whole life wantin’ people to know who you are.”
He also appreciates that a lot of his fans are respectful when they see him and his family out and about in thier everyday life. Thomas says, “I feel like our fans are very, very down to earth people, and so many of them kind of just respect a little bit of that – I don’t want to call it a boundary. But like, if me and Lauren are out to dinner or something like that, a lot of people will wait till we get up to go out the door to get a picture with them.”
Thomas just released his new single, “Remember You Young,” and he is grateful for every fan that takes the time to care about him and his music because he says, “They’re what make our world go around, you know. And it’s been really nice to get to know some of our fans and meetin’ ‘em at the shows are meetin’ ‘em just out in Nashville or whatever.”
