Thomas Rhett is officially part of the Music City Walk of Fame.

Thomas and his family celebrated him earning the 113th star on the path located just outside of the Country Music Hall of Fame on July 8th.

Jordan Davis was there to speak about Thomas. He said that he was “honored” to represent him, as he talked about his success as an artist and the impact he has had on those around him. Jordan praised Thomas for remaining grounded throughout his career and emphasized that his legacy extends far beyond his accomplishments in music.

In his speech, Thomas shared his message to his 19-year-old self.

“If 19 year old TR was sitting on this stage today, the first thing I’d say to him is relax. You’re about to spend the next 17 years worrying about things that you were never in control of in the first place. You’re going to worry about whether people like you, whether they’re going to like the songs, whether the radio is going to play them, whether you’re going to sell any tickets, whether you’re going to make the right decisions. Most of those things were never yours to control anyway,” he shared.

Thomas also shared a few lessons he wishes he had learned earlier in this career. “Number one, nobody actually knows what they’re doing,” he shared.

He then thought back to a reminder Miranda Lambert once shared with him: “There is no such thing as a country music emergency.” The decade that followed would teach Rhett that Lambert was 100% right when she said those words to him.

The next pieces of advice he would offer his younger self would be to have more than one definition of success, to not miss out on life while he’s building a career, and finally, to simply enjoy the journey.

The hitmaker concluded with a heartfelt thank you to all the fans who have supported him along the way.

“Thank you for singing these songs louder than I ever could. Thank you for letting my music become a small part of your life. This star may have my name on it, but it belongs to a heck of a lot of people. Thank y’all so much,” he added.
