With over 1.3 billion career streams, Nate Smith has made a significant impact on the country music scene. Earlier this year, he dominated Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with a ten-week consecutive run at the top with his smash hit single 'World On Fire', which has amassed over 210 million global streams.
This achievement ties Morgan Wallen’s 'You Proof' for the longest run at No. 1 on the chart, marking Smith as the first artist to achieve this milestone with a second single at country radio.
Fans around the globe are eagerly anticipating Nate and Avril's performance of 'Bulletproof' at the ACM Awards, promising an unforgettable night of music and celebration.
And could this mark Avril's foray into country music, following the likes of Beyonce and Post Malone?
