There’s no doubt about it, country singer Thomas Rhett is a big fan of the Tennessee Vols.

Maybe you’ve been led to believe that Thomas Rhett, who was born in Georgia, is a Bulldogs fan.

It would seem to make sense, considering his dad, Rhett Akins, attended Georgia.

But evidence on the internet, seems to suggest otherwise.

Just this week, Rhett, who is currently killing it on his first headlining tour, posted a video to Instagram that featured him wearing some Vols gear.

Rhett, who married a Vols fan, has been spotted at Tennessee games wearing orange before. But to be clear, this is a video of Rhett just hanging out at his home — in a Vols shirt.

It’s not like he was forced to put a Tennessee shirt on for a game.

I don’t know many people, other than Vols fans, who just hang out around their house in Tennessee shirts.

And speaking of Rhett wearing orange before, here are several of those instances.

I’m sorry Mr. Rhett, but you look quite happy to be wearing that Tennessee shirt.

He looks all Vol to me (shorts and everything).

Cheering on the Vols? Something only a real fan would do? I think yes.

And what would a true Vols fan be without a picture of Tennessee legend Peyton Manning.

To be fair, here’s a picture of Rhett in Georgia Bulldogs gear.

I’m confident everyone would agree that orange suits Rhett MUCH better than that awful looking red.

It only makes sense that a country singer who makes his home in Tennessee would be a such a big fan of the Vols.

And by the way, Rhett plays in Knoxville on Thursday night.
