Thomas Rhett’s cryptic post on Friday (January 10) fueled anticipation for an apparent announcement on the horizon.
Rhett’s vague caption only includes an emoji of a pair of eyes. The 25-second clip shared on Instagram and TikTok shows the country star taking a seat on a wooden stool, grabbing a guitar and beginning to play a few familiar notes. Rhett’s video ends with the date January 13, 2015 displayed on the screen. Commenters across social media platforms wondered whether the country star would release a cover of Neil Diamond’s legendary “Sweet Caroline,” guessed Rhett would announce a show at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, and others simply gushed that they couldn’t wait for more info on Monday (January 13).
Rhett previously announced his “Better In Boots Tour,” which kicks off in early June. The 2025 headlining tour includes special guests Tucker Wetmore, The Castellows and Dasha on select dates. Rhett announced the tour shortly after delivering his seventh studio record, About A Woman, which served as a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Lauren Akins. The pair met in elementary school, dated briefly in high school, and Rhett proposed six months after they rekindled their relationship years later. They got married in October 2012 and now share four daughters.
