Conner Smith has released his first album titled Smoky Mountains, which is currently available. One of the songs from the album, "Creek Will Rise," is rapidly climbing up the country music charts.
However, not too far back in time, the up-and-coming celebrity was simply an average 16-year-old who attended a concert of one of his beloved country music performers.
During the most recent episode of the Taste of Country Nights podcast, Smith shares a personal anecdote about his experience attending a Thomas Rhett concert in 2016, which left a significant impression on him.
At the age of 16, I had the opportunity to go on a date with a girl to a Thomas Rhett concert. I can vividly recall that it took place at Ascend Amphitheater and we were seated on the lawn. During the concert, Thomas Rhett performed his popular song "Die a Happy Man." At that moment, I was attempting to slow dance with the girl I was with, aiming to create a sweet and romantic atmosphere.
Smith goes on to say that the following day, his partner ended their relationship.
After sharing a moment of laughter, he proceeds to narrate the rest of the story. He mentions that about four years later, he was on tour with Rhett when he realized that he had ultimately come out on top in the situation.
Smith has shared this story with the audience during his performances multiple times, and it has become a favorite among listeners.
