If you somehow didn’t know,\u00a0Thomas Rhett’s\u00a0father is country singer\u00a0Rhett Akins.<\/p>\n
Thomas’ full name is Thomas Rhett Akins, Jr.<\/p>\n
And the other night, the two of them shared a really special moment onstage.<\/p>\n
Rhett Akins received the Non-Performing Songwriter Icon Award by the National Music Publishers’ Association, and Thomas was in the house to honour him with a song they wrote\u00a0together.<\/p>\n

When Rhett got up to give his acceptance speech, he was overcome with emotion.<\/p>\n
“I never would have dreamed all the years we sat in the kitchen playing guitars and writing little dumb songs turned out to be this.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
