Nate Smith<\/a> says he was just trying to pull off a harmless tour prank on Morgan Wallen<\/a>, but he went too far: And he’s grateful Wallen forgave him.<\/p>\n Smith spoke about that moment during a new interview with\u00a0Billboard News<\/em>, as an example of what a forgiving person the country superstar can be.<\/p>\n That’s probably what was going through Smith’s mind when he decided to pull off a prank. He threw a drink at Wallen while the headliner was performing.<\/p>\n “Literally a full cup. I thought I was the funniest guy in the world. First night of the tour,” Smith admits.<\/p>\n Of course, that kind of prank crosses a line. Throwing things at artists while they’re performing can be jarring, scary or even dangerous, and it’s a problem that many artists face: Hecklers or well-meaning fans often toss items onstage at country concerts.<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Riley Green Injured After a Fan Throws a Phone at Him Onstage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Most recently,\u00a0Riley Green<\/a> needed stitches after a fan threw a phone at his face<\/a> during a show in Australia.

He should have kicked me off the tour, but we laughed about it. We FaceTimed. We talked it through,” the singer continues. “He’s like, ‘Man, I probably would have done the same thing,’ or, ‘I’ve done the same thing.’ He understood. He’s a very forgiving person.”<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Nate Smith’s Perspective Has Changed Since Publicly Supporting Trump<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n But not everyone\u00a0had such a mild reaction to the prank. Smith says he had “lots of phone calls” about the drink-throwing incident, saying, “it was really serious.”<\/p>\n “Nobody was happy about this,” Smith remembers. “Morgan, if you’re listening, I love you. I’m still really sorry about that.”<\/p>\n The difference between a true country music feud and one country singer being a punk is the response. Each of these active feuds has involved a significant back and forth between two country artists or more. <\/p>\n A few singers are involved in multiple feuds while others involve unexpected or unknown singers. We’ll update this list as the pairs make peace or if another fight emerges. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Was Nate Smith’s Tour Prank on Morgan Wallen?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
