Thomas Rhett Quotes

Not everybody in the country-music community is like me - I just happen to be one of the guys that is stereotypical.

All my life, I was even just wanted to attend the Grammys, like, just be there, so the fact that I'm nominated for Best New Artist, it feels like a dream.

I like this town, it's really great. They've put me in The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. This town is about music. It's about the kind of music I like.

I've grown up with country music. I love how real everybody is, not just the artists, but the fans.

I'm a country artist first and just happen to be on television doing it.

I want to stay where I am. I'm stoked to be a country artist.

I don't mind talking about the Dixie Chicks, because I feel like it's still alive and kicking.

I'm like the male Taylor Swift.

Probably the first artist who really captured me was Tim McGraw. His songs 'Don't Take the Girl' and 'Indian Outlaw' were fun, and he was different than a lot of artists.

Back in I want to say 2011, Taylor Swift was on her 'Speak Now' tour. She was kind enough to bring me out as one of the openers on that tour. Between her and Miranda Lambert, who also helped me out that year, I got a pretty non-typical first tour as a fellow artist.

When I first started all this, it was mostly music fans that came along, Stones fans. But now, I'm being taken seriously. I've got highfalutin' art collectors and everything!

I feel like 'Nashville' can go on indefinitely.

I always felt like the Academy was very late in acknowledging things. I've seen them do it with hip hop when it should have been acknowledged. It was already penetrating mass levels of culture and radio, and yet they wouldn't give it a proper category.

Taylor's first four albums have been certified platinum a combined 21 times, but despite her unprecedented success in country music, '1989' is strictly pop.

Country music is worldwide - it's not just Nashville and Texas.

I want to win Grammys.

I confess I'm a big fan of Taylor Swift.

The first award I ever won was for Best New Artist from the ACMs, so they always will hold a special place in my heart.

I'm not just a hip-hop artist; I feel like I'm a rock star.

When 'American Slang' came out, everyone was like, 'This is the next big band in the world, and this is blah blah blah Bruce Springsteen Junior and blah blah blah,' and I was just like, 'I don't know what that means. I don't know. We'll see.'

I just appreciate the love that I get and support from hip-hop.

I don't think that I'm a pop star. On paper, I'm bad at being a pop star with the conventional idea people have.

I wanna be the most successful socially aware artist: Grammys, number one singles, albums, overseas and internationally-known household name, all that.

We were thrilled when we were nominated for best new artist at the Grammys, but we were even more so when they asked us to play live.

Texas is really special in that we have our own music scene, our own music chart. It's almost a genre on its own. It feels like you can make a great living just touring the state because it's so big, but eventually, I wanted a new challenge.
