She first became interested in competing in pageantry after one of her high school classmates, Brittany Reid, was crowned Miss Ohio Teen USA 2013. However, she ultimately did not sign up for a pageant until eight years later, with Miss Kentucky USA 2021 being her first-ever pageant. She represented Germantown and went on to win the title.

After her win, Smith became the second entrant from Kentucky to ever be crowned Miss USA, after Tara Conner was crowned Miss USA 2006.
In the final question portion of Miss USA, Smith was asked “Sustainability is becoming more and more important in professional landscapes. How can we encourage business to be more environmentally conscious?,” to which she responded: “I think we’ve got to look at it from a macro level and also a micro level. So at the macro level, companies need to switch to green energy, I think that’s something we can all agree on. On the micro-level, we all know how to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and those are things that we can implement in our daily lives.”
As Miss USA, she will represent the United States at Miss Universe 2021. In addition to the opportunity to compete at Miss Universe, Smith will also move to Los Angeles for the year of her reign.
