#ThrowbackThursday to Dan Smyers' September 18, 2021 Instagram post that recapped his hometown tour stop the night before

While Dan + Shay fans continue to patiently wait for them to announce their 2026 tour (I think it's coming in the next month or sooner!), #ThrowbackThurday to when Dan Smyers still had his long curly hair, and the Wexford, Pennsylvania native got the opportunity to play his hometown venue not too far down the road at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on the duo's first headlining arena tour. 

Smyers posted a joyous picture of himself with a guitar next to his partner Shay Mooney with their backs to the sold-out Pittsburgh crowd to his Instagram account on September 18, 2021, the day after the concert. He also wrote a heartfelt caption underneath.

"an actual dream come true: we sold out the hometown arena," Smyers began the caption. "pittsburgh, thank you for one of the most incredible nights of my entire life. it's been a (very) long journey getting to this point, but you've had my back every step of the way."

If you have read some of my past posts, I have written about the photos that Smyers has posted on his personal account as well as on the Dan + Shay Instagram account. He has a special way with words and always writes the most detailed, heartfelt captions and shows his gratitude toward the fans as well.
