However, his daughters weren’t initially going to appear in the clip.

“They weren’t supposed to be in the video,” Thomas Rhett said. “They were standing back there, had their little ballerina skirts on and during the middle of a shot, they just ran out there — and we kept the shot.”

” ‘Cause any time they’re there, it just makes it sweeter,” added the proud papa.
