Next week, Thomas Rhett will be recognized at the American Music Awards for his two current nominations for Favorite Male Country Artist and Favorite Country Album for his PLATINUM-certified third album LIFE CHANGES (The Valory Music Co.). LIFE CHANGES is the biggest, boldest-sounding record of his career, filled with a diverse batch of songs as he stretches his sound to new limits. Emphasizing his “detailed style of songwriting” (Rolling Stone), LIFE CHANGES was an instant hit upon release, debuting at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, marking the first Country release to take the top spot last year. It also drew a 2018 GRAMMY® Awards nomination for Best Country Album and has been streamed more than 944 million times. Thomas Rhett was recently named iHeartRadio’s Country Artist of the Year for the second year in a row, following a CMA Triple Play award for penning three No. 1 songs within a 12-month period (“Die A Happy Man,” “Star of the Show” and Michael Ray’s “Think A Little Less”), adding to his collection of trophies from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, Billboard Music Awards, CMT Music Awards and more. Fans can catch Thomas Rhett on the road this weekend in Lexington, KY (10/4), Fort Wayne, IN (10/5) and Grand Rapids, MI (10/6) on his headlining LIFE CHANGES TOUR.
