Talk:Thomas Rhett

Thomas Rhett (EP)

Split - Album ranked No.3 on Top Heatseekers with two hit singles and should have its own article. Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:25, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Thomas Rhett discography

Support Split (after article for second studio album is created) - Discography section takes up almost half of the page and should be split to Thomas Rhett discography. Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:28, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

This is not a good reason to split. You should split only when the article gets too big. Hzh (talk) 19:33, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Adding "Pop" Into Genre Section

Much in the way of Taylor Swift, Rhett appears to be heading in the pop direction. http://www.rollingstone.com/country/news/hear-thomas-rhett-maren-morris-new-song-craving-you-w474401 http://www.whiskeyriff.com/2017/07/21/first-listen-thomas-rhetts-new-single-unforgettable/ https://www.gq.com/story/thomas-rhett-craving-you-premiere

Would this be enough to classify him as a pop artist at this point? -- Telie2222 (talk) 05:22, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

How do main critics/reviews view the albums and songs? The yet–to–be–released album is listed as "country' and the released singles have only appeared on country charts. He is already listed with a country–pop genre. This is probably as far as it should go at this point.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:01, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Loriendrew, if you're referring to it being listed as country on iTunes, that's largely irrelevant, as it really has a lot of inaccuracies and contradictions with other sources. I'm pretty sure Rolling Stone would classify as a pretty reliable source, especially since editors tend to use their reviews for the articles on here. Craving You's been called a pop song by numerous sources, and so is Unforgettable. Also, Billboard charts don't have a genre chart for pop songs. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together also made it on the country chart, despite it being a pop song and listed as such. -- Telie2222 (talk) 06:25, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Request for comment

The consensus is that the lead should refer to Thomas Rhett as a country singer-songwriter.

Should the lead just refer to him as a singer-songwriter or should it refer to him as country singer-songwriter? Whether to include genre in the lead was bought up at MOS:BLP, and the decision was to determine on a case by case situation. JDDJS (talk) 21:51, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose - According to the infobox, he is a country, country rock, pop country, and R&B artist. If we are to add one genre, we should add them all however, since 4 different genres are listed, that's a bit excessive. Meatsgains (talk) 00:54, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
• Support (Summoned by bot) Country would cover 3 of the 4 genres, and singer-songwriter, though normal for Wikipedia, sounds weird anyway. ping me if you want me to change my mind L3X1 (distænt write) 13:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
• Support - country singer-songwriter per reliable sources. Tennessean, Country singer Thomas Rhett - Washington Post, country singer Thomas Rhett - Reuters, Country singer Thomas Rhett - GQ, the country star - Rolling Stone, Country singer Thomas Rhett - Billboard, Country singer/songwriter Thomas Rhett. And his about page at Facebook describes his Genre as Country. Isaidnoway (talk) 15:24, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
• SupportCountry singer-songwriter. As User:Isaidnoway points out, almost all sources refer to him as a Country singer. His genre greatly affects his career. JDDJS (talk) 17:32, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
• Support, per references provided by Isaidnoway. A Train^talk 07:27, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
• Support Country easily covers country rock and pop country. The cited reference in the infoboxsays "R&B-Tinged Brands of Country" so that is also covered. If anything I would say the infobox is misleading and should be reduced to country. AIRcorn (talk) 18:25, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

The article is about Rhett, not his guest. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:04, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 12 December 2022

In 2016, Rhett appeared in episode 16 of season 4 of the TV series Nashville, performing his single 'Die A Happy Man' when he performs as the opening act for Luke Wheeler (played by Will Chase)'s tour. 82.47.153.252 (talk) 00:55, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Country Again: Side B

Since there is no mention of a release date for the album yet, can it be TBA until then in the discography section? 2600:1700:EA02:B900:7849:8CAB:4896:9CAB (talk) 17:03, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Thomas Rhett is of Lebanese heritage. His great-great grandmother, my aunt: Mary LaHood, came from Zahlé Lebanon in the year 1912, on a ship with my other aunt, Anne Nijem. His great-great grandfather, George LaHood, was also born in Zahlé, where he subsequently immigrated to Valdosta GA. 2600:1005:B0C4:5733:B8BA:C12F:2106:A1DC (talk) 03:37, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Please add the following sentence to the Early life and education section after the sentence discussing Rhett's attendance at Lipscomb University:

"While attending Lipscomb University, Rhett was a member of Tau Phi social club and often performed at the Tau Phi Cowboy Show."

Source: https://lipscomb.edu/news/rhett-ballerini-host-cma-fest-broadcast-third-year

The article states: "While a Lipscomb student he was a member of Tau Phi social club and often performed at the Tau Phi Cowboy Show." Robert283 (talk) 06:57, 4 June 2026 (UTC) Robert283 (talk) 06:57, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: Information on Rhett's college extracurricular activities is likely too trivial to include in the article, unless it's received substantial coverage in independent sources. Day Creature (talk) 16:32, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the response. Since making the original request, I have located several additional independent sources discussing Thomas Rhett's involvement with Tau Phi while attending Lipscomb University.

In addition to the Lipscomb source confirming that Rhett was a member of Tau Phi and performed at the Tau Phi Cowboy Show, multiple independent sources also discuss his participation in Tau Phi and fraternity performances:

https://carolinacountrymusicfest.com/news/10-fun-facts-about-thomas-rhett/

https://www.thethings.com/celebrities-who-were-in-fraternities/

https://countryfancast.com/fraternities-and-sororities/

https://www.theodysseyonline.com/did-you-know-they-were-in-greek-life-too

Notably, the Carolina Country Music Fest article states that while in college Rhett "got used to playing in front of crowds by being a member of Tau Phi and playing at frat parties." This suggests that his Tau Phi involvement may have been connected to his early performing experience rather than being merely a routine college extracurricular activity.

Given the existence of multiple independent sources discussing both his Tau Phi membership and his performances at Tau Phi events, would editors be willing to reconsider whether a brief mention of this information belongs in the Early Life and Education section?
