Thomas Rhett took to his Instagram yesterday (11/1) to honor his six-year-old daughter Willa Gray in a sweet and emotional post.

Thomas wrote along with a birthday picture of his oldest daughter, “Willa Gray.. how in the world are you already 6????? I love you more than life. You are the best big sister any sister could ask for. You make me a better person just by smiling. Your smile could light up any room. I love getting to be your daddy. Happy birthday sweet baby🙌.”

Several fans and friends reacted to the post including Lady A’s Hillary Scott, who wrote, “She radiates SUCH light!! ❤️❤️❤️.”

Rhett and his wife Lauren are expecting their fourth daughter any day now.

• 14. “What’s Your Country Song” – (2021)

  Share

  His 17th number one song. Rhett said of the song, “We wrote this song on the road last year in Dallas, Texas. It’s really about how I was noticing that no matter where you live or where you’re from, everyone has a little bit of country inside their bones.”

• 13. “Beer Can’t Fix” – (2020) – Duet with Jon Pardi

  Share

  The song's thesis is that, regardless of the nature of one's life problems, there ain't nothing that a beer can't fix.

• 12. “Sixteen” – (2018)

  Share

  Thomas said that he wrote the song when he was 25, and that it was one of the first he wrote for the ‘Life Changes’ album.
• 11. “Look What God Gave Her” – (2019)

  Share

  Rhett said he wanted the video of the song to "highlight amazing women in Nashville for all of the amazing things they've done around the world." The video features his wife Lauren and their daughters.

• 10. “Unforgettable” – (2017)

  Share

  The song examines a day at the start of a relationship with the hindsight of a few years. It sounds like a classic the first time you hear it.

• 9. “Beer With Jesus” – (2012)

  Share

  The follow up to his debut single. Rhett wrote the song with Rick Huckaby and Lance Miller.
• 8. “Something To Do With My Hands” – (2012)

• 6. “Marry Me” – (2017)

  This song is so beautiful. The song’s chorus samples the melody of Taylor Swift’s 2014 song “Style” from her fifth studio album 1989.
• 5. “Craving You ( with Maren Morris)” – (2016)

  Share

  Thomas said of the collaboration with Maren Morris: "I think me and my wife and my team were just collectively like ‘Wow, she adds such a crazy element to the song.’”

• 4. “Crash and Burn” – (2015)

  Share

  It’s one of many songs that Chris Stapleton co-wrote for other artists (in this case, he co-wrote it with Jesse Frasure). On a personal note, this was me and my then 8-year-old son's favorite song and what made him love country music.

• 3. “Remember You Young” – (2019)

  Share

  A truly touching song. Thomas said that "We wrote this song about the people in life that we love, and always remembering them in their youth, no matter how much time passes and we all change." The song's accompanying music video features a group of elderly people who reminisce on their lives.
• 2. “Die a Happy Man” – (2015)

  Share

  What so many, myself included, call the "love song" of a lifetime. "Die a Happy Man" topped the Hot Country Songs chart on November 14, 2015. The song remained on top for seventeen weeks.

• 1.”Be a Light” (featuring Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin, and Keith Urban) (2020)

  Share

  A song that can lift anyone’s spirits. Thomas said that he wrote the song in 2019 and held on to it, but chose to release it because he thought its message would be well received in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
