Thomas Rhett shared a hilarious video of a conversation with his wife, Lauren Akins, as he declared that it’s “time to hit the gym.”
The award-winning singer-songwriter said he has “the most supportive wife,” as he joked that Akins helped him write some of the songs on his seventh studio album, About A Woman, which is set to release on August 23. So far, he’s released “Gone Country” and “Beautiful As You” from the 14-track project.
“I buttoned the shirt right before I went on stage because I felt self conscious because y’all were making fun of me about the tank top,” Rhett said in a TikTok he shared on Tuesday evening (June 11). “Right before I was doing the interview with Ashley McBryde, one of the camera guys looked at me and goes, ‘suck it in.’ I swear he did! Looking out for me. …Jordan Davis let it fly.”
Rhett was one of many artists to perform on the main stage during CMA Fest, the longest-running country festival in the world, over the weekend in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Others in the lineup throughout the four-night festival included Kelsea Ballerini, Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, HARDY, Cody Johnson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Jon Pardi, Carly Pearce, The War And Treaty, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman, to name a few. McBryde will team up with Jelly Roll to host the televised concert special later this month. CMA Fest will air on Tuesday, June 25 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on ABC. It will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.
Rhett is one of many artists taking the stage at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival, returning to the T-Mobile Arena stage on September 20 and 21 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Other artists in the genre-spanning lineup include Big Sean, Camila Cabello, Doja Cat, Gwen Stefani, Hozier, Keith Urban, New Kids on the Block, Paramore, Shaboozey, The Black Crowes, Thomas Rhett, Victoria Monét, and more.
