Thomas Rhett had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction, during Monday night’s ACM Awards.

While he was speaking with a reporter from Entertainment Tonight, Rhett revealed what had just happened to him, “My zipper fell off right before, so I’m taped up,” he explained.  “So, I’m trying to stand really still right now, so make sure the camera’s just like right here.”

Rhett then explained his excitement about attending the awards ceremony, “I mean, first time we’ve done this with real people in a while, and I got out of the car right before Dolly [Parton]. I was like, ‘This is amazing,’ ” Thomas Rhett said. “Getting to perform two songs, nominated twice, just very, very blessed to be here.”

[Have you ever suffered a wardrobe malfunction during a big event?  The original expression (“wardrobe malfunction”) came from a Superbowl performance, by Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.  Part of the bra-area of Jackson’s costume came down, and Timberlake had claimed he tried to cover it; but some thought he had pulled it.  Basically, it was a PR stunt.]
