Thomas Rhett has extended his partnership with Budweiser, and will take part in the brand’s latest commercial. The singer-songwriter and Budweiser first teamed for his 2016 tour.

“Budweiser has some of the most iconic commercials of all time, so it’s pretty awesome to actually be in one,” says Thomas Rhett. “It’s cool that we get to toast America together with all the fans this summer and fall on our Home Team Tour.”
