Kicking off the new year, Smith will head back to the road as direct support for Jason Aldean on the upcoming 2026 leg of his FULL THROTTLE TOUR. Prior, he had performed alongside the superstar over 2025, pumping up audiences and igniting arenas everywhere.

Not to mention, he’s also set to make his anticipated return to Stagecoach. As one of the genre’s most exciting performers, he’s lit up music festival stages like iHeartCountry Festival, Ridin’ Hearts Festival, The Great New York State Fair, and Sand In My Boots, in addition to standing out on bills next to heavy-hitters such as Thomas RhettCole Swindell, and Morgan Wallen.

Remaining prolific, Smith caps this wildly successful year having impressively earned his fourth consecutive #1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart with “Fix What You Didn’t Break,” before recently gaining major traction with celebratory anthem “After Midnight”(Sony Music Nashville) – his brand-new collaboration with DIAMOND-certified superstar and 23x hitmaker Tyler Hubbard (MCA). Rallying “rowdy, good-ol’-boy, good-time vocals,” as hailed by MusicRow, it took flight as the most added at Country radio with 60 first-week stations launching the single and marking his second biggest impact date of his hitmaking career. Listen to “After Midnight”and watch the Jeff Johnson and Kaiser Cunningham-directed music video.
