Thomas Rhett's ACM Awards win last week for Entertainer of the Year was one of his biggest career goals. He shares the honor this year with Carrie Underwood, and their tie was a first in ACM history.
Thomas tells us: “It truly has been a dream of mine since day one. There’s countless times where my manager, Virginia, has asked me, ‘What are your goals for the next five years? What are your goals for the next ten years?’ And winning Entertainer of the Year was definitely Number One on the list. Getting to hear an idol of mine, Keith Urban, mention my name along with Carrie Underwood, it made me feel like I’m not the new guy anymore, if that makes any sense. It just solidified a lot of things for me. It's such a dream, I don’t know how to put it into words.”
Thomas recently topped the charts with “Be A Light,” featuring Reba McEntire, Keith Urban, Hillary Scott and Chris Tomlin.
