Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren Akins are more in love than ever nearly 11 years after they tied the knot.
Rhett shares four daughters — Willa, 7, Ada, 5, Lennon, 3, and Lillie, 1 — with Akins, and he tells Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman he misses them a lot while he’s on the road.
The country crooner admits it’s “a whole different party,” and a “different kind of lit” at home versus being on tour.
He says when asked what the different kind of energy he needs to use for both is, “I feel like right when you walk through the door, it’s go time until 9 o’clock. Here’s it’s kind of like wake up when you feel like it, work out…”

London-based Hipgnosis Songs Fund Ltd. said Thursday that revenue for its fiscal year ended March 31 jumped 24.7 percent, “partly due to the catalogue acquisitions during the period.”
The song rights powerhouse, founded in 2018 by Merck Mercuriadis, a former music manager for the likes of Elton John, Beyoncé and Guns N’ Roses, reported annual revenue of 200.4 million, compared with 160.7 million in the previous year.
One key profitability metric, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, rose 21.8 percent to 129.9 million. But amid higher costs, the company, whose stock is listed in London, swung to a fiscal-year operating loss of 16.7 million, compared with a profit of 44.5 million in the previous fiscal year. Royalty costs for the year rose to 32 million from 22.5 million, the firm said.

Blake Shelton is giving Gwen Stefani a sweet shout-out on his new album.
With Texoma Shore set for release on Nov. 3, the country singer has officially unveiled the album's track list, featuring one song called "Turnin' Me On," which Shelton co-wrote with Jessi Alexander and Josh Osborne. The sultry track is about exactly what you'd think it'd be about, featuring one line that appears to be a direct reference to Stefani's iconic red pout.
"Knows how to set me on fire, she's always holdin' the match. And when my body's beside hers, there ain't no turnin' back," Shelton croons. "She's Revlon red in the blackest night, lighting up the room in the world just like she's turnin' me on."
Stefani, of course, has been a longtime brand ambassador for Revlon cosmetics -- and an even longer advocate for a bold red lip. (Subtle, Blake!)

"I'm ruining her already!" Thomas Rhett admits with a laugh.
The 27-year-old country crossover star is talking about his 22-month-old daughter, Willa Gray, who is already showing signs of being a fashionista in the making.
"Every time she wakes up, the first thing she says is, 'Closet, shoes' and she goes in there and picks out what she wants to wear for the day. It's pretty hilarious," Rhett tells Et. "I am in trouble, I know. It's bad."
Since adopting Willa Gray from Uganda earlier this year, Rhett has been sharing his own love of fashion -- specifically, sneakers -- with her. Meanwhile, he's partnered with Daniel Patrick, Madeworn, New Era and his personal stylist, Kemal Harris, on a collection of limited edition, high-end merchandise, proving it's not all about cowboy boots and belt buckles in the world of country music.

The 21-year-old songstress, who won the season four of The Voice on Blake Shelton's team, has teamed up with Et to debut one of her catchy new songs, "Hello Summer," which will feature on her next album. I Don't Believe We've Met is set for release on Dec. 1.

It’s been three years since Brantley Gilbert’s 2011 “Halfway to Heaven” album. Ask the country singer what took so long for him to craft follow-up, “Just As I Am,” out May 19, and he jokes, “I needed a nap.” Then when that doesn’t sound dramatic enough, he goes for “I was cryogenically frozen.” The nap bit is definitely more plausible. “Halfway to Heaven,” which was originally released on indie Average Joe’s Entertainment in 2010, then picked up by Big Machine Label Group’s Valory Records in 2011, spawned the hits “Country Must Be Country Wide” and “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do.” Gilbert, who writes his own material, has spent most of the last three years on the road, touring and building his audience, including his rabid fans who compose the Bg Nation.
