Many country stars like to take to the skies and become pilots, like Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, and the most recent pilot with a license, Dustin lynch. Thomas Rhett has been thinking he would like to pilot his own plane for years but admits he has reservations.

Rhett told us, "I could definitely see me still wantin' to do that. I have so many pilots in my family. My brother-in-law, Grayson, is a pilot, my father-in-law is a pilot, and a lot of my close friends are pilots. I think it would take a little more trust on my own end to trust that I could do it right. I'm not the most attention-to-detail person, and I feel like you really need to be detailed to be a pilot." He added, "So, I don't know. Maybe I'll become a very detail-oriented person over the next five years and decide that getting my pilot's license is something I'd wanna do. If Dierks can do it, I can do it."

Thomas recently revealed that after having an initial fear of horses, not only is he more comfortable with horses, but he and his family have also added a few horses to their family. Rhett said, "We're actually building a little barn at our farm. We had one, and now we have three of 'em. And so, I get why people say don't become a horse person unless you're ready to get into an intense hobby. And now I'm starting to understand it. I'm fully into it, man. I love it."

In November, Thomas announced US tour dates for his "." The summer tour will begin May 4 in Des Moines, Iowa, at Wells Fargo Arena with Cole Swindell and Nate Smith. It will end at Thomas Rhett's home team's Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
