Last week was a big one for Thomas Rhett, who celebrated the release of Country Again: Side A with a full-band livestream concert!

Kristen caught up with him before the big day. We chatted about the key behind making a double album, “knocking the rust off” in rehearsal, his love of songwriting.

He also shared his best dad joke before we got into a lightning round of TOUGH questions:

Collab with Bruno Mars or Eric Church? Never tour again or never write again? And most importantly, Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC?
