Thomas Rhett returned to Fenway Park on Saturday night (19th July) for a sold-out show.
Playing to more than 35,000 fans, the show was a defining moment in Rhett's ‘Better in Boots' Tour, fueled by Marathon. Rhett returned to Fenway, after being the first Country artist to ever set boots on the stage. His signature blend of heart, high energy and hit-packed charisma filled the stadium alongside special guests Teddy Swims, Tucker Wetmore and The Castellows.
“Saturday at Fenway was the craziest thing ever,” said Thomas Rhett. “I have so many great memories in Boston, but I have dreamt about headlining Fenway my entire career. So, standing there with over 35,000 fans dancing and singing back to me will be etched in my brain for the rest of my life…I love you Boston!”
Rhett hit the stage to ‘Boots' off his seventh studio album ‘About A Woman' with fireworks and a stadium of fans on their feet. Backed by an impressive eight-piece band, over the course of the night, Rhett kept fans dancing in their seats and the aisles to his biggest hits including ‘Make Me Wanna', ‘T-Shirt' and ‘Beautiful As You' as well as swaying with their someone special under intimate string lights to ‘Remember You Young', ‘Unforgettable' and current Top 10 ‘After All the Bars are Closed'.
Rhett was joined by Teddy Swims to perform their duet “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Woman”, which was also recognized for being certified GOLD by the RIAA earlier in the day, and closed out the night with his newly RIAA DIAMOND-certified fan-favourite ‘Die A Happy Man'.
RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier surprised Rhett on the field with a crystal statuette and a plaque for ‘Die A Happy Man', which has officially been certified DIAMOND by the RIAA, celebrating 10 million units sold and becoming only the 15th Country Song to reach its status. The 2015 record-breaking No. 1 hit song from his second studio album ‘Tangled Up' has become one of Country music’s most enduring modern love songs, earning six major award wins including ACM, CMA and Billboard honors and a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Song.
Additionally, ‘It Goes Like This' and ‘Get Me Some of That' were certified 4x PLATINUM and ‘Make Me Wanna' and ‘T-Shirt' have been certified 3x PLATINUM for a grand total of 59M career RIAA-certified units.
The full list of Rhett's new RIAA Certifications are:
“Die A Happy Man” – RIAA Certified DIAMOND
“Somethin' ‘Bout A Woman” – RIAA Certified GOLD
“It Goes Like This” – RIAA Certified 4x PLATINUM
“Get Me Some Of That” – RIAA Certified 4x PLATINUM
