Thomas Rhett on finally playing Fenway and his secret to a happy marriage


Listen Later

Take it from Thomas Rhett. The GRAMMY-nominated singer knows a thing or four about kids, life on the road, navigating the Country music industry, and maintaining a happy marriage. This week on the 'Superstar Power Hour,' TR talked about it all with Katie Neal, sharing his mentoring journey with artists like Tucker Wetmore and his secret to keeping his marriage strong.

Rhett and his wife Lauren are one of music's greatest love stories, and Thomas admits that his "secret" to a happy marriage comes down to "being aligned."

"Be aligned on all fronts," Rhett tells Katie. "Finances, the way that we're gonna raise our kids, the schools we're gonna go to, church we're gonna go to, just being right here the whole way makes for so much more of a peaceful marriage, but it takes work and it takes a lot of conversation and, you know, maybe some arguments here and there, but I think just alignment is what I would say."

Thomas has learned a lot of lessons in marriage and in music, and is taking that knowledge and trying to pass it down to the next generation of Country stars. "I feel like this year and last year I've gotten to know so many of the newer artists in our format," he reveals. "They all just happen to be a decade younger than me."

"That's been kind of the the biggest joy of my life right now. I still love playing shows and love writing, but when younger artists do come to me and ask me for any, not even just show advice, but 'how do I have a family and do this' or 'how do I have kids and do this?' That's gonna become one of my favorite parts of being in this business right now is just sort of being a guy that's done it for 14 years and made all the wrong decisions and some of the right ones, and being able to lead people in a direction where they can hopefully not do the same things bad that I did."

It's true, Thomas has become a monument to balance with a beautiful family and an outstanding career, but he cautions that it didn't happen by accident. "Listen, we've done a lot of work, we've all done a lot of therapy, we've all worked a lot on ourselves and, I think that that's kind of put us where we are now and it's been fun to pour into younger people. I feel like my wife and I both, we love doing that so much."
