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 quickly gaining popularity and climbing the country music charts.
Not too far in the past, the up-and-coming talent was an average 16-year-old who attended a concert of one of his beloved country music artists.
During the most recent episode of Taste of Country Nights, available on demand, Smith shares a personal experience about going to a Thomas Rhett concert in 2016 that deeply affected him.
At the age of 16, I had the opportunity to go on a date with a girl to attend a Thomas Rhett concert. The venue for the show was Ascend Amphitheater and we had seats in the lawn area. During the concert, Thomas Rhett performed his popular song "Die a Happy Man." I wanted to create a romantic atmosphere, so I attempted to slow dance with the girl and be affectionate.
Smith further explains that the following day, his partner ended their relationship.
We have a moment of laughter together before he proceeds with the story. He mentions that about four years later, he was on tour with Rhett and he jokingly says, "I suppose I had the final laugh in that situation, if you understand what I mean."
Smith has shared this story multiple times during his performances, and it is greatly enjoyed by the audience.
Let's discuss the ultimate form of revenge and validation after a romantic relationship comes to an end.
