Thomas Rhett is bringing a few very special guests to the CMA Awards red carpet on Wednesday – his daughters, Willa Gray and Ada James.
The superstar revealed his plans for Wednesday night’s CMA Awards while speaking with radio host Sam Alex on Monday morning (Nov. 11).
“Our girls are gonna walk the red carpet with us for the first time ever, which is cool,” Rhett shared with a smile. “We’re excited, man. They just love to dress up in their princess dresses. This just gives them an excuse to do that.”
Don’t expect to see Willa and Ada in the audience during the live telecast, however. Rhett says they are “probably not” going to stay for the show.
“I don’t think they’re gonna make it past 8:30,” he laughed.
Rhett is nominated for two CMA Awards: Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year for his latest project, Center Point Road. The singer/songwriter, who is expecting his third daughter with wife Lauren Akins in early 2020, is scheduled to perform during the show.
The 53rd Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Carrie Underwood with special guest hosts Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton, will air live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 8/7c on ABC.
