Thomas Rhett Pushes Back On ‘Casserole Overload’
Thomas Rhett’s family, which includes his four young daughters and wife, Lauren, always has big family gatherings for every holiday, including Thanksgiving. There is never a shortage of food at their family get-togethers, and in fact, Thomas says they’ve tried to cut back on the number of casseroles that show up on the Thanksgiving table.
Rhett told us in a recent interview, “My wife was on the phone with her grandmother, and the conversation made me laugh ’cause she was like, ‘Hey, this year we don’t need a casserole overload.’ Like, grandmothers are so good at casseroles, but they bring like 50 of them. You know what I mean?”
The country star added, “It’s like 19 versions of a green bean casserole and a sweet potato casserole, and my kids, all they want is just macaroni and cheese. And then we have to like force ham and turkey down their throat. It’s like, ‘Hey, you need protein, you know, before you eat every bit of sweet that your grandmother made.’ So, it’s always a struggle.”

Rhett and Best New Artist GRAMMY Awards nominee Teddy Swims are teaming up for a new version of “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Woman.” The song was first released in August on Thomas’ About A Woman album as a solo song.
Thomas adds Teddy Swims’ signature vocals to the song, making it a duet. Rhett said of the new collaboration, “This collaboration has been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. Teddy and I first met through our producer Julian Bunetta back in 2020, and it was pretty much instant musical chemistry.”
He added, “I sang on his song ‘Broke’ and then we ended up writing ‘Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings)’ in under an hour. I’ve been wanting to release something with him again ever since, and his voice on this song is insane.”
Teddy Swims commented, “Been waiting to release this song with Thomas Rhett for a while!! He has been in my corner since day one, so when he called me to join him on ‘Somethin’ ‘Bout a Woman,’ it was a no-brainer. It’s an honor to join him on this track—he’s a legend. I love you, big bro!”
They performed the song on the 58th Annual CMA Awards earlier this month (11/20), where they mashuped “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Woman” with Swims’ history-making Billboard Hot 100 Number One “Lose Control.”
