Jordan Davis Says Thomas Rhett Has ‘Never Changed’ During Walk of Fame Ceremony

Thomas Rhett was honoured with the 113th star on the Music City Walk of Fame in Nashville last week!

He celebrated the special moment surrounded by his family, cheering fans, and close friend Jordan Davis.

While Jordan wasn’t receiving a star himself, he was there to celebrate Thomas and share just how much he admires him, reflecting on when they first met.

“The first time I ever met Thomas, the first show I ever got to see, was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the Bayou Country Superfest in 2016. Now, I am an avid LSU fan and I wouldn’t say that it was ideal for me to see a very proud Georgia Bulldog go take over Tiger Stadium for an hour, but that’s exactly what Thomas did. And I left that day knowing that Thomas was going to be doing this for a very, very long time. And it’s not surprising at all that we’re here celebrating a star on what has already been an amazing career for Thomas.”

Jordan also praised Thomas’ character, sharing a story that happened after a sold-out show.

“The same person that will play a sold-out show in Saskatoon for two hours, walk off stage and then walk into the green room of one of the opening acts on that tour and sit for another two hours and answer questions and give advice about writing and touring, managing a family and being gone as much as we are. And he didn’t have to do that. He could have easily played that show, walked on his bus, took off for the next city, but that’s not who Thomas Rhett is. Instead, he sat in that green room with me, talked to me for two hours and I left that room with a lot more than advice in the music business.”

He went on to say that, despite Thomas’ success, fame has never defined him.

“The coolest thing is that in a world where fame can easily become somebody’s identity, Thomas has never let that define him. Instead, he stayed grounded in the things that matter most to him, which is his faith, his family, his friendships and his deep love for country music.”

Jordan continued:

“Now you’ll be hard-pressed to find another artist out there that works as hard or pursues excellence in everything that he does more than Thomas Rhett. With that being said, the thing I think I most admire about him is how he measures success totally different than most people. We’re all here to celebrate the star that Thomas Rhett obviously is, but if you’ve spent any time around him, you know that TR’s pride is not found in a writing room or on a stage. His pride is found at home with his five beautiful kids and his lovely wife, Lauren.”
