Thomas Rhett Surprises Veteran at 2019 CMA Awards

When veteran and singer-songwriter Jerri was in Nashville, Tennessee to support the Crown Royal Purple Crown Project, she had no clue she was going to get the surprise of her life from Thomas Rhett.

Rhett, who partnered with Crown Royal for the project in 2018, came to meet Jerri as she was shooting a PSA for Crown Royal. He also surprised her with two tickets to the 2019 CMA Awards.
