Thomas Rhett, like all of us, realizes that 2020 was tough year and some people had serious hardships... not to mention the over 300,000 people who died from COVID-19.

Thomas says he feels for the "different families who have either lost work or people that have been on the front lines working in hospitals, or teachers trying to teach three year olds how to learn their letters and their numbers.”

Rhett's says that he’s grateful for some of the silver linings that have come out of this year. He notes, “I think I was going at such a rapid pace that 2020 definitely forced me to slow down. And so I hope I can take that mindset back into 2021.”

Thomas' rescheduled 2020 tour is set to kick off on June 3, 2021, so if all goes according to schedule, he’ll definitely be busy next summer.
