Thomas Rhett’s two young daughters, Willa, 4 and Ada, 2, love music, which is no surprise, as the girls are surrounded by it all the time and even travel with their father on the road sometimes.

Thomas says, “Anytime I get a guitar out, like, I can’t keep it in tune because they just want to turn the knobs and play the strings. And Willa Gray has a little baby piano that she plays a lot out of key. And they both sing a ton, and they remember the words to my songs at such a young age.”

Even if neither of his daughters decide they want to live their life in the spotlight or on a stage, Rhett is convinced they’ll end up with a career related to that. He says, “I think when you’re around it as much as they’re around music, like I think they’re gonna grow up to do something. They may not be a musician, but I think they would love to be in and around the entertainment business in some fashion.”

For now, Thomas and his family are anxiously awaiting the birth of his third daughter, who is due on February 3rd.

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
