Thomas Rhett’s career has been on a pretty amazing trajectory over the past couple of years, making him one of the new generation of A-list artists in country music, and his four-year-old daughter, Willa Gray, has noticed. Whether it’s bringing them to sold out shows or last year’s CMA Awards, or #1 parties, Thomas tries to share as much of the successes of his career with his family as he can, and he recalled not long ago, “We were playing some shows and I had just got done doing soundcheck, and Willa gets out of the car and she’s like, ‘Daddy, I’m so proud of you.’”
Hearing those six little words from his four-year-old stopped Thomas in his tracks because he says, “I was just like, first of all, how do you know how to say that? Second of all, it just melted me. And so, it’s been really awesome to share some of these moments with my kids, the way that I got to share some of these moments with my dad as well. It kind of feels like it’s coming full circle in a way.”
Thomas’ latest single, “Beer Can’t Fix,” which he sings with Jon Pardi, is about to move into the top ten on the charts and will no doubt make its way to #1, which means Thomas will soon have another accomplishment to share with his family, including the newest addition, his five-week-old daughter, Lennon Love.
