Conner Smith, a new artist in the country music scene, has recently released his first album titled "Smoky Mountains". One of the songs from the album, called "Creek Will Rise", is gaining popularity and climbing up the country music charts.
However, not too far in the past, this up-and-coming talent was simply an average sixteen-year-old who attended a concert by one of his beloved country music performers.
During the most recent episode of Taste of Country Nights, available On Demand, Smith shares a personal anecdote about his experience at a Thomas Rhett concert in 2016 which left a significant impression on him.
At the age of 16, I went on a date with a girl to a Thomas Rhett concert. The venue was Ascend Amphitheater, and we were seated on the lawn section. During the performance, Thomas Rhett played his popular song "Die a Happy Man," and we attempted to slow dance together, aiming to create a romantic atmosphere.
Smith explains that the following day, his girlfriend ended their relationship.
After a moment of laughter, he proceeds to recount the story. "About 4 years later, I was on tour with Rhett and I thought to myself, 'I suppose I had the final laugh in that situation,' if you understand what I'm saying," he remembers.
Smith has shared this story with the audience multiple times during his performances, and it has become a beloved choice among the viewers.
