Nashville, TN – April 9, 2018 – Reigning ACM Male Vocalist of the Year Thomas Rhett has announced his autobiographical anthem “Life Changes,” the
title-track from his Billboard 200 chart-topping album (The Valory
Music Co.), as his next single. “One of his most personal to date” (Rolling Stone), the
song co-written by Thomas Rhett ships to Country radio today, following
all three of LIFE CHANGES’ singles – PLATINUM-certified “Craving You”
and “Marry Me” as well as GOLD-certified “Unforgettable” – which all
earned chart-topping success.
“This song is basically my autobiography in three minutes,” Thomas Rhett
said. “It covers my college years, marrying Lauren, becoming a dad and
the evolution of my music career. It’s definitely the most personal song
I’ve ever written, but we all go through a lot in life whatever the
story is, so I think the sentiment is something a lot of people can
relate to.”
Over the weekend, Thomas Rhett launched his highly-anticipated LIFE CHANGES TOUR, bringing his “commanding stage presence” (Rolling Stone) to sold-out crowds in Tulsa, OK and Las Cruces, NM. “The reigning wielder of Midas’ touch” (Tulsa World),
he is bringing his biggest hits and songs from his GRAMMY-nominated
third studio album to life with reimagined versions for his electric
live show. First dates include ACM’s New Male Vocalist of the Year Brett
Young as well as a combination of Country Music’s freshest talent
including Russell Dickerson, Jillian Jacqueline and Carly Pearce. With
later dates newly on-sale this week, the fall shows will continue with
Young and ACM New Vocal Group of the Year Midland.

As a top nominee at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards this
weekend, broadcast LIVE from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on
Sunday, April 15, 2018 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.,
reigning ACM Male Vocalist of the Year will defend his title where he has garnered six total nominations including Album of the Year for LIFE CHANGES as both artist and producer, Vocal Event of the Year for “Craving You” (featuring Maren Morris) as both artist and producer and Video of the Year for “Marry Me.”
Thomas Rhett’s third album LIFE CHANGES (The Valory Music Co.) is the
biggest, boldest-sounding record of his career, filled with a diverse
batch of songs united by the “consistency of their craft” (Variety) as he stretches his sound to new limits. Highlighting his “detailed style of songwriting” (Rolling Stone),
LIFE CHANGES was an instant hit, debuting at No. One on the all-genre
Billboard 200 chart, marking the first Country release to take the top
spot in 2017. The release also drew a 2018 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album and
has been streamed more than 400 million times. The album’s first three
singles quickly climbed to the top of the Country radio charts,
bringing Thomas Rhett’s No. One tally to 10. He 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. For more information,
