Thomas Rhett kicked off Mother's Day Weekend last night (Thursday, May 6th) with the first of three shows in three days at Billy Bob’s Texas. These are Thomas' first concerts since the quarantine last year, and while he's excited to hit the stage, he's just as excited to have his wife and three daughters with him.
He tells us: “It's crazy that like my daughter Lennon was born in February of 2020 and so she's never actually gotten to see me do anything musical, so my whole family will get to come to Texas and that'll be Lennon's first time to see me play a show.”
On Sunday (May 9th), Thomas and family will fly back to Nashville together and celebrate his wife, Lauren, his own mom and his mother-in-law on Mother's Day. He tells us: “This Mother’s Day is just special, just gettin’ to watch my wife be a mom to three babies, and how much work it is just being, not only a parent, but being a mother to three girls. Like, I just watch my wife sometimes. I’m like, ‘I don’t know how you do this. I don’t know how you do this with such grace.’ I’ve said this before, but she’s my superhero, and somebody that I just get to learn from every day – and also getting to watch Lauren’s mom and my mom. I think when you have kids, you have this whole other sense of just gratefulness for everything that your mom did for you growing up, and realizing how many times she wanted to just rip your head off and she didn’t. And so, I love Mother’s Day and I love gettin’ to celebrate all of our moms.”
Thomas sits in the Top 25 and climbing with his latest single, “Country Again.” The song is included on his new project, Country Again: Side A, which was released on April 30th.
