Transcript

00:00 We are here with ACM winner Nate Smith. Congratulations!

00:04 It's so weird to hear you say that. It still doesn't sound right. No! No, it doesn't.

00:08 But I'm on the verge of crying at any minute, so.

00:11 Well, do it here and then it'll be an exclusive.

00:13 [laughs] Let's just not. Let's just not, you know?

00:17 So, you're performing with Avril Lavigne tonight, which is everyone's most excited for that performance.

00:23 You two have been hanging out all week. You released a song today. Tell me about that friendship.

00:27 She's my absolute home slice. Avril has amazing energy. Our energies are really great.

00:32 We're really good friends. We like to drink white wine. We like to attempt to skateboard. I'm terrible.

00:37 She goes, "It's because you were in cowboy boots." I said, "No, it's because I can't freaking skateboard."

00:41 That's actually what it is. But she's just like the coolest person and like so real and

00:46 she lives in the moment in every way and I love that about Av.

00:49 All right, so she is teaching you skateboarding. What's something from your lane that you want to teach her?

00:54 There's nothing I can teach Avril. I'll be honest with you. There's nothing. Nothing.

00:58 Nurse skills.

01:00 Okay, how to put a catheter in. That's a little weird, but we could work on it, I guess. I don't know.

01:04 Horrible suggestion.

01:05 Right? Or draw blood. That's just... Now we're getting vampiric, you know? Very vampiric.

01:08 Well, that is my lane. So, you released a... Dracula is my favorite book. It's the best.

01:14 Oh, I'm so sorry. I wish. Oh, God. So, she's released Bulletproof, your song, a new version.

01:21 Would you two ever work on something original? Has that idea come up yet?

01:24 I'll be honest with you. It's already in the works. Yeah, so we will be putting out an original song.

01:28 Oh, that's awesome.

01:29 Yeah, so you hear it here first. I haven't told anybody.

01:32 Wow. I'm very excited to hear that.

01:34 All right. Well, you're already a winner. Is there anything else once you get in that room that you're excited for tonight?

01:39 The whole thing is just surreal and I'm so excited to be there, honestly. I don't even know what to say.

01:42 I'm just like... I'm on the verge of crying every five seconds, but this is amazing. What a good night. What a good week.

01:47 What a good week. Rookie, winner. Yeah, it sounds sad.

01:50 Female artist. We're literally... I'm getting on a plane at 5 a.m., flying to New York to do two stadiums with Morgan Wallen.

01:56 I'm not mad. I'm not mad.

01:59 You're living the life.

02:00 I'm hanging with my bestie, so...

02:01 My bestie, Nate Smith. Thank you so much for joining us. We love you.

02:04 I love you.
