Myles Smith had this to say about Lewis Capaldi at TRNSMT
He went on to give a shout out to Capaldi during his performance, hailing him as an inspiration.
He said: "He's inspired me and so many of us, make some noise for Lewis Capaldi."
And as the saying goes, the crowd went wild.

As Myles danced about in his kilt, which he said was lovely and breezy, he sung hit songs like River and Behind, and even performed his new hit, Gold.
When performing Gold, Myles asked the crowd to show their best dance moves before stopping the tune mid-song to start a here we f****** go chant.

He said: "It's so amazing to be here. We've been to Scotland a few times, but this is our first festival here.
"I've been here as a musician but I've also been here as a student."
Finishing off his set with his big hit Stargazing, Myles went out to the crowd and high fived fans at the barrier.
He then exclaimed, "I love Scotland" as he excited the stage.
Myles and his band gave the word passionate a new meaning. As they gave their all during the 45 minute slot, they breathed life into the Green and hyped up the crowd - as well as me - for the third and final day of TRNSMT.

The winners of a Lewis Capaldi look-a-like contest have been crowned in Glasgow. The Survive singer announced last week that he had partnered with Greggs to host contests at stores across the UK, including the Sauchiehall Street location in Glasgow. Up for grabs were 25 pairs of free tickets to Capaldi's upcoming tour which sold-out in minutes after they went on sale.

STV News Fans flocked to the store in Glasgow's city centre dressed in some of the Forget Me's singers most iconic looks. The first ticket winner was Isabel Hunter who travelled all the way from Dunbar in East Lothian and was queuing from 7am. Other winners included sisters Rachael and Nicole Gillespie. STV News Some fans opted to recreate the singer's jacket, t-shirt and jeans combination often worn onstage with other's wearing masks of his face. Others went the extra mile and recreated one of Capaldi's most iconic looks wearing a white towel on his head and 90's style sunglasses. Winners will now be heading to see Capaldi when he plays Glasgow OVO Hydro in September. His tour announcement came after he triumphantly returned to the stage during a surprise set at Glastonbury. It followed a two-year hiatus which Capaldi announced after struggling during a set at the same festival in 2023.

Hours later, he surprised thousands with a performance at Glastonbury, during which he told fans he wanted 'to come and finish what I couldn't finish last time'.

Lewis is partnering with a fashion brand for their latest campaign. Lewis Capaldi has been revealed as a brand ambassador for footwear brand HEYDUDE in their brand new campaign. The Scots singer joins Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney who is also an ambassador for the brand. Fresh off his legendary Glastonbury Festival comeback, the release of his chart-topping single 'Survive' and ahead of his sell-out tour, Capaldi, who is renowned for his no-nonsense attitude and his vocal advocacy for mental health, perfectly represents the HEYDUDE brand which is intended to celebrate self-expression, comfort, and stepping out in the world as your full, unfiltered self. The HEYDUDE Country campaign invites new fans to experience the brand through expansive storytelling and in-real-life moments, with the goal of building community and connectivity, and encouraging fans to be their most authentic selves. The partnership with Capaldi will kick-off with an exclusive short film that offers an intimate look at Lewis' journey as an artist. From navigating the pressures of fame to reconnecting with what truly matters, the film captures personal reflections, candid moments and the humour that's made him a fan favourite. At its heart, it reveals how the Scots singer found his own version of HEYDUDE Country. Lewis said: 'It's been great to partner up with HEYDUDE who are all about feeling right in yourself. Making music is something that brings me a lot of comfort. You have to make music for you and then you hope that people find some of themselves in it'. Michael Anthes, SVP and General manager for HEYDUDE International, said: 'Lewis is the perfect fit for HEYDUDE Country - he embodies the spirit of our brand like no other. He's authentic, effortlessly relatable, and lives the comfort-first lifestyle we celebrate. "This campaign is about more than just footwear; it's about confidence, self-expression, and finding that unique headspace where you can be unapologetically yourself. Lewis doesn't just wear HEYDUDE, he is HEYDUDE Country, and we can't wait to share that energy with the world.' The launch of the global HEYDUDE Country campaign builds on the brand's explosive growth in the US, where it's quickly becoming a cultural favourite among Gen Z. The partnership with Capaldi is an important milestone for the brand as it looks to expand HEYDUDE Country internationally, with dedicated focus in the UK. This announcement follows with an official launch event set to take place in Lewis's hometown of Glasgow. The campaign will continue rolling out across Europe with a series of unexpected brand-inspired experimental moments and pop-up activations, all inviting people to find their own, unique version of 'HEYDUDE Country' where they can come together through shared creative experiences, personal passions, and meaningful connections.
