Watch: Sam Smith Has Emotional, Full-Circle Moment in Montreal
British pop sensation Sam Smith was hit with a case of the feels while performing in front of a deafening crowd in Montreal, Canada.
As reported by Metro UK, was on stage Saturday night when they took a moment to reflect on their career.
Looking out into the crowd of screaming fans, they burst into tears and shared, "Oh my god. I was trying so hard not to cry. Thank you so much. Thank you so much."
They added, "Wow, you guys sound and look incredible right now!"
Uploading the clip to their social media, Smith explained why they got so emotional: "When I was in my early teens, a dvd of Rihannas girl gone bad tour came out and the show was at the bell centre. I watched it religiously. I was totally obsessed," they wrote. "Deep down it was my life's mission to get to that room and to sing on that stage. My first time doing a show on that stage was at 21 years old with the In the lonely hour tour and it was my favourite show of the entire tour. You've just done it again."
Grateful, Smith thanked Montreal for the warm welcome: "Last night made me feel a type of way I don't think I've ever felt on stage. I've never felt so much love or heard an applause like that for myself ever," they wrote. "It makes every hard and challenging moment so worth it. The love for music and art in Montréal is astounding. I'm deeply deeply grateful to you all."
Giving a shout out to Rihanna, they added, "You made that confused 14 year old queer kid watching @badgalriri from a TV in a tiny village in Englands dreams come true last night."
