Thomas Rhett states “I’m a truck guy and always have been, so it’s a natural fit for me to work with Ram Trucks” said Thomas Rhett. “This year’s ACM Awards is already so cool for me because I am nominated and get to perform on the television show. But I can’t think of a better way to start things off than with a full set for my fans on a rowdy Friday night at Gilley’s. It’s one of those iconic Texas clubs that everyone has played at some point in their career, and even if you aren’t in Dallas for the weekend, you can tune in online and be part of it, which is really cool.”

In addition to his nomination, Thomas is also scheduled to perform “Make Me Wanna” at Sunday’s Awards. The song marks three consecutive number one hits from his debut album IT GOES LIKE THIS making him the first male artist to accomplish this on the Billboard chart in over 20 years.
