Thomas Rhett
ACM Awards Male Vocalist of the Year Thomas Rhett is up for four nominations at this year's CMT Music Awards. The singer's nominations at the huge fan-voted Country music awards ceremony include Video of the Year and Social Superstar of the Year - the singer has 1.25M Twitter followers and 1.7M on Instagram. He's also been given a nod for his joint performance with Nick Jonas for the pop star's single 'Close'. Also nominated for 4 awards we have Keith Urban, and Kelsea Ballerini.

2017 is set to be another huge year for Thomas Rhett, having recently released the music video for latest single Craving You, featuring Maren Morris. Shot in the style of an action-packed movie trailer over the course of two days in Nashville, Thomas Rhett and Morris take fans on a wild ride with a twist ending that director TK McKamy describes as "Jason Bourne meets Oceans 11 meets Snatch." Speaking of the video Thomas said,
There are a lot of crazy action scenes – a lot of firsts for me in general in this video. I've always wanted to get to do a fight sequence and play a tough guy, but I think Maren definitely shows me up! TK really pushed us both since we’d never really acted before.



He'll also bring his ‘Home Team’ tour to the UK, with the first stop at London's Roundhouse on November 10th.
