Thomas Rhett Messed Up the Lyrics to His Own Song at the CMA Awards
Thomas Rhett sang the same verse twice during his CMA Awards performance.
Most people didn't notice the mistake, but fans who did still called his song "perfect" and "beautiful."
If you ask me, Thomas Rhett can do no wrong. But after watching the 2019 CMA Awards, others might disagree.
The 29-year-old country singer started off the evening by turning heads on the red carpet with three dates: His wife Lauren Akins, and their two adorable daughters, Willa Gray and Ada James.
It was a big night for Thomas, who earned nominations for two CMA Awards: Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year for his latest studio collection, Center Point Road. He also performed his single "Remember You Young" live at the awards ceremony.
"I’ve never gotten to do that on national television before," Thomas told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet before the show. "So we're excited about that."
The singer's excitement must have turned to nerves (can you blame him?!), because he *kinda* messed up during his performance. Personally, I was too mesmerized by his voice to notice anything unusual—but people on Twitter called out the mistake right away.
Did Thomas Rhett just sing the same verse twice and mess up his own song ? #CMAawards

Naturally, I rewinded and rewatched the whole thing and it's true: Thomas sang the same verse twice. There's one adorable part the song that's about his wife and, after the chorus, he typically follows up with a set of lyrics about his daughters.
But during his CMAs performance, Thomas skipped the verse about Willa Gray and Ada James and instead sang about Lauren again. And you know what? It was still incredible—just ask Twitter.
"Did TR sing the same verse twice? Yes he did BUT WAS IT STILL PERFECT? YES IT WAS!" one fan wrote.

Another pointed out that he may have just gotten "choked up seeing his sweet babies" in the crowd, which is definitely a possibility.
I thought I heard the same verse twice @ThomasRhett 😂. Forgotten lyrics or choked up seeing his sweet babies? Beautiful either way! #CMAAwards

In any case, no one cared about the slip-up and I stand by my previous statement: Thomas Rhett can do no wrong.
