They had discussed collaborating but nothing had materialized. Then, while hanging out with Rhett and Noah Kahan at the Masters tournament, Horan told Rhett that he was \u201cgutted\u201d to not be invited to feature on \u201cOld Tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually heard \u2018Old Tricks\u2019 by accident one day when I was in the studio with my friend and producer Julian Bunetta who was working on the song,\u201d Horan recalled. \u201cIt came on and I was instantly hooked. I just loved everything about it, it\u2019s a proper country song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said, \u2018Man, you were the last person I would\u2019ve thought would even like this one!\u2019 He kept texting me about it after and he knew all the words,\u201d Rhett said of the encounter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNext thing I know, I\u2019m in the studio laying vocals down,\u201d Horan said. \u201cIt felt easy, natural, like it was always meant to happen. I\u2019m buzzing for people to finally hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith how fired up he was and his connection with Blake, it felt like a full-circle moment and turned into something really fun,\u201d Rhett said, referring to the musicians\u2019 gigs on The Voice. \u201cI\u2019m pumped it\u2019s finally out there and hope y\u2019all love it as much as we loved making it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deluxe edition of About a Woman was released in September 2025 and added nine new songs to the tracklist, including collaborative remixes with Shelton, Teddy Swims, Jordan Davis, and Tucker Wetmore.<\/p>\n<p>Rhett recently wrapped up his nationwide 2025 Better in Boots tour, which included his sold-out headlining debut at Boston\u2019s Fenway Park. He will return to the UK in 2026 to support Luke Combs at Wembley Stadium on July 31 and August 1.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tr.lnk.to\/OldTricksPR!TR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Listen to the Niall Horan feature on Thomas Rhett\u2019s \u201cOld Tricks\u201d now.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Niall Horan has joined Thomas Rhett on a new version of the county superstar\u2019s song \u201cOld Tricks.\u201d The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,4991,134,136,103565,71977,137825],"class_list":{"0":"post-227904","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-country","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-niall-horan","14":"tag-thomas-rhett","15":"tag-thomas-rhett-old-tricks"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
