Thomas Rhett’s Razor Gets Too Close
Thomas Rhett had a slight incident with a razor guard while trying to trim his signature beard. As a result, he issued a disclaimer to fans who would see his show that night and wonder about his new look.
Thomas posted a photo of himself on Instagram, and his beard is nearly gone with a closer-than-expected shave. He wrote over the image, “To the folks in the crowd at Country Jam… I accidentally used the wrong guard on my razor. I decided to commit. If you’re wondering who the 12-year-old kid is tonight… It’s me.”
Fans loved the post, and many of his almost five million followers commented on the post. One fan wrote, “Ha ha, I feel the same; I still get carded sometimes lol.” Another fan said, “Just seeing this post (a little late). You’ll bring lookin’ closer to your wife’s age. She looks 15 yrs old #naturalbeauty#foreveryoung#yourbetterhalf. I didn’t forget how great you are. YOU ROCK!” One more fan commented, “I like the beard like that!”

Rhett has a tight tour of festivals scheduled in July, with dates in Chicago, Pendleton, Oregon, and Wisconsin. He plays Cheyenne Frontier Days on July 27th in Wyoming.

Rhett played the Nissan Stadium stage in Nashville during CMA Fest a few weeks ago. He’s played the stage many times in his career.
Thomas loves that artists play CMA Fest for free, and the money raised from the event is used for music education programs nationwide.
He told us backstage before he performed at CMA Fest, “When I was in high school, we had an okay band room, instruments and stuff. But now that my kids are in school, I love knowing that my kids are gonna have a ton of options to choose from.”
Rhett added, “It’s just such a huge deal to get to play CMA Fest, knowing how much money they are giving back to music education.”
He concluded, “Some kid going through a rough time? To me, music is therapy, and there are a lot of kids out there who may be struggling with something that the piano happens to fix internally. Every year, we get to do CMA Fest, which is kind of in the forefront, not just for me but for other artists; we know that we’re playing for a bigger cause than just applause.”
