Conner Smith has recently released his first album called "Smoky Mountains". One of the songs from the album, titled "Creek Will Rise", is gaining popularity and quickly climbing the country music charts.
Not too long ago, the emerging talent was an average 16-year-old who attended a concert by one of his favorite country music artists.
During the most recent episode of Taste of Country Nights, available for streaming, Smith shares a personal anecdote about his experience at a Thomas Rhett concert in 2016 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 see a performance by Thomas Rhett. The venue for the show was Ascend Amphitheater and we were seated in the lawn area. During the concert, Thomas Rhett performed his popular song "Die a Happy Man." I attempted to slow dance with the girl I was with, wanting to create a sweet and romantic moment.
According to Smith, the following day, his girlfriend ended their relationship.
After we shared a moment of laughter, he proceeds to tell the rest of the story. He mentions that around four years later, he was on tour with Rhett and he jokingly says, "I guess I had the final laugh in that situation, you know what I mean?"
Smith has shared this story with the audience during his performances on several occasions, and it has become a beloved choice among the listeners.
Let's discuss the ultimate form of revenge and validation in a romantic separation.
