In the recorded version, Thomas sings “Craving You” as a duet with fellow country star Maren Morris. But this time, he sang the electric hit solo.
In this clip, the 27-year-old Georgian is joined by a whole slew of sexy backup dancers. They dance on chairs in front of a giant red and black screen while he leans into the microphone to deliver the catchy lyrics about a girl he “craves.”
Of course, Thomas doesn’t have to miss his girl in real life, as his wife Lauren supported him from the audience. In fact, the camera panned to a shot of her beaming with joy during the song.
Speaking of Thomas’ beloved bride, he and Lauren recently became new parents to 18-month-old Willa Gray, whom they adopted from Uganda in May. The couple is also expecting their first biological child in August.
