Priscilla Block with Payton Smith

November 13, 2025 – The Admiral – Omaha, NE

Thursday night November 13, 2025 in downtown Omaha was pure country-pop perfection as Priscilla Block brought her Monster Energy Outbreak tour to The Admiral. The place was packed, the energy was high, and the crowd was more than ready to kick off the night with rising star Payton Smith.

At just 25, Payton Smith already carries himself like a seasoned headliner. The Louisiana native and self-taught guitarist has racked up over 50 million streams on his debut single “Like I Knew You Would,” played every instrument on his debut project, and earned praise from CMT, Taste of Country, and Music Row along the way. With over 150,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a debut album What Colors Your Wild making waves across major playlists, he’s had one hell of a year—tours with Brantley Gilbert, Lily Rose, and more, plus recent releases like “She Shouldn’t Have,” “Girl Goin’ Through It,” and “Mountain on Fire.”

All of that momentum showed onstage. Payton came out smiling, energized, and instantly connected with the crowd. His guitar skills were on full display, and he mixed his originals with some fun surprises, including covers of Justin Bieber and Keith Urban that had the entire venue singing along. It was the perfect warm-up for what was coming next.

After a quick intermission, the lights dropped and it was time for Priscilla Block.

Priscilla’s story is one of the best in modern country music—a Nashville hustler who wrote with anyone she could, played every bar in town, and eventually broke through thanks to TikTok and the viral smash “Just About Over You.” That song hit number one on iTunes, earned her a major label deal with Mercury Nashville, landed her on the Billboard Hot 100, and set her career on fire. Today, she boasts over 1.4 million Spotify listeners, and she’s only getting bigger.

Her Omaha set proved exactly why.

Priscilla walked onstage looking absolutely stunning, radiating confidence, warmth, and that relatable charm fans adore. Her voice was strong, clear, and effortless—whether she was diving into emotional tracks or cranking up the attitude on songs like “Thick Thighs” or “PMS.” The crowd was locked in from the first note to the last.

Her band deserves major credit too. They were tight, powerful, and clearly having a blast, feeding off the crowd and elevating every moment.

Priscilla was all smiles all night long, and it felt like she truly loved every second she spent with this Omaha crowd. She talked, she joked, she opened up about her journey, and she delivered a performance that was both polished and personal.

Make sure to check out her latest album, Things You Didn’t See. If her live show is any indication, she’s only going to keep climbing.

It was a fantastic show from start to finish. Omaha showed up, and Priscilla Block delivered!
