Declared “a prince in the genre” (USA Today), he has been honored with eight ACM Awards including Entertainer of the Year, two CMA Awards, five GRAMMY® Awards nominations, plus trophies from the CMT Music Awards, Billboard Awards and iHeartRadio Awards, in addition to being recognized with four CMA Triple Play awards for penning three No. One songs within a 12-month period.
“When the Open Class Beef barn burned down in October 2020, our motto became, ‘out of adversity, comes opportunity’, and that opportunity, along with a lot of hard work, has helped us discover the DEX,” said DANR Secretary Hunter Roberts. “To be here today, announcing superstar Thomas Rhett as our DEXtravaganza headliner is truly amazing. I am so proud of what we have accomplished, and I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone who helped bring this vision to life!”
