Thomas Rhett played a role in helping Conner Smith move on from a past relationship. Conner Smith has released his first album titled "Smoky Mountains," which is currently available. Additionally, his song "Creek Will Rise" is gaining popularity and climbing the country music charts.
However, not too far in the past, the up-and-coming talent was simply an average sixteen-year-old who attended a concert of one of his beloved country music performers.
During the most recent episode of Taste of Country Nights, On Demand, Smith recounts a personal experience from 2016 where he attended a Thomas Rhett concert that had a significant effect on him.
At the age of 16, I had the opportunity to go on a date with a girl to a Thomas Rhett concert. The venue was Ascend Amphitheater, and we sat on the lawn section. During the show, Thomas Rhett performed his song "Die a Happy Man." At that moment, I tried to slow dance with the girl I was with, aiming to create a romantic and sweet atmosphere.
Smith states that the following day, his partner ended their relationship.
After we have a moment of laughter, he proceeds to tell the rest of the story. He mentions that about four years later, he was on tour with Rhett and had a realization that made him feel satisfied and triumphant.
Smith has recounted this anecdote on multiple occasions during his performances, and it has become a beloved choice among the audience.
Let's discuss the satisfaction and validation that comes from a particularly satisfying revenge or triumph in a breakup situation.
