Thomas Rhett has revisited a pivotal moment in his career for the Academy of Country Music’s new web series, ACM Firsts, which is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the awards show.
In the series’ debut episode, Rhett reflects on his first ACM win for Single of the Year with “Die a Happy Man.” Watching the 2015 moment, the country star shares, “Holy crap, my heart is beating a million miles a minute, and I have lipstick on my lips from kissing my beautiful wife,” revealing the emotional impact of the win.
Present-day Rhett discusses how his wife, Lauren, has shaped his perspective on awards and how the success of “Die a Happy Man” became a career-defining turning point.
New episodes of ACM Firsts are available on the ACM’s social channels, leading up to the star-studded 60th annual ACM Awards on May 8 in Frisco, Texas, hosted by Reba McEntire.
