Thomas Rhett is a dad, which means that he's going to do things that embarrass his kids; and since some of those things are caught on video, they can be embarrassed for years to come. Most kids don't love to see their dad dancing, especially in public, so Rhett's recent Instagram post may come back to haunt him... or his kids.

In one of his recent Instagram posts he is dancing in what appears to be a tourist-based store, to David Bowie's classic "Fashion." Here's hoping Dancing With The Stars sees this and invites him on the show. Hey, Billy Ray Cyrus and Lauren Alaina have tried it!

Rhett is performing at CMA fest tonight, and his tour dates start a week from today (get the full list of dates here).

Thomas Rhett celebrates his 30th birthday today (3/30). Rhett, a father of three little girls, is known for his wonderful family and his high octane show.

With a bunch of number one songs under his belt, numerous awards and even a couple of Grammy nominations, let's take a look at some photos of country music's "golden boy."
