Thomas Rhett’s star continues to rise as his latest single, “Life Changes,” is on the verge of becoming his newest #1 song, but he’s not worried about getting a big head because he’s got people around him to keep him in check. “I remain grounded in a lot of ways,” says Thomas. “My family probably being at the top of that list, my wife for sure. You know, my wife is kind of always the one to be there and be like, ‘Hey, just so you know, you’re not as cool as you think you are.’”
Something else that continues to keep Thomas and his wife Lauren grounded in the midst of his super star life is their commitment to giving back and using the platform they’ve been blessed with for greater good. Thomas explains, “Lauren and me are definitely involved in a lot of stuff overseas. We do a lot of stuff in Uganda. My wife is involved in an organization over there that works with an orphanage there and in Haiti, and so we’re always trying to figure out ways that we can give back and be of as best service as we possibly can.”
By shifting the focus and taking the spotlight off of themselves, Thomas and Lauren are able to maintain some perspective. He explains, “We’ve started just viewing this job as an entertainer as a platform and as an outlet to be able to give money where it’s needed or to even just speak and raise awareness for certain things.”
Some of the causes and organizations Thomas and Lauren have supported include 147 Million Orphans, Love One International, St. Jude, Feeding America and more.
