A year later, in November 2008, Smith won the title of Miss South Carolina USA, gaining the right to represent her state in Miss USA 2009.[3]

As the official representative of South Carolina, Smith participated in local events[5] and competed in the 2009 Miss USA pageant, broadcast live from Las Vegas, Nevada on April 19, 2009, where she placed as one of the Top 10 finalists.[6]

In 2010, Smith competed in The Amazing Race 17 with then-boyfriend Chad Walthrip.[7] The show premiered on September 26.[8] Their worst placement was an eighth-place finish in Leg 1 and their best was a first-place finish in Leg 8.

While on the race, Waltrip surprised Smith when he proposed her to marry him and she accepted. In Leg 9, they finished in fifth place and were eliminated.
