(AUDIO) THOMAS RHETT READILY ADMITS HE OUTKICKED HIS COVERAGE WITH LAUREN

current single: “AFTER ALL THE BARS ARE CLOSED

Thomas Rhett has never been shy about saying he outkicked his coverage, or was punching above his weight class, or just got really lucky when he married his wife Lauren. In fact, his last #1 song, “Beautiful As You,” was all about that concept. He doesn’t think of it as an insult to himself, but more of an acknowledgement of what an extraordinary woman Lauren is.

Thomas Rhett – outkicked coverage :24

“I love the term outkicked my coverage. I just like to look at it as like, what a blessing, to be honest with you. Like a gift that I did not deserve. Someone that I have literally looked at and been like, ‘Golly, you are so beautiful,’ since I was like nine, someone as joyful as you and as all the things as you would land with me … Grateful. Shocking. The fact that I celebrated 12 years of marriage with that person really is just such a gift and such a blessing.”
