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.
However, not too distant in the past, the up-and-coming celebrity was simply an average 16-year-old who attended a concert of one of his beloved country music artists.
In 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 had a date with a girl and we attended a Thomas Rhett concert together. The concert took place at Ascend Amphitheater, and we were sitting in the lawn area. During the show, Thomas Rhett performed his song "Die a Happy Man," and I wanted to slow dance with the girl I was with, attempting to create a sweet and romantic moment.
Smith mentions that the following day, his partner ended their relationship.
After a moment of laughter, he proceeds to narrate the story. "After about 4 years, I found myself on a tour with Rhett and 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 listeners.
Let's discuss the ultimate form of revenge and validation during a relationship ending.
