Zimmerman revealed he had undergone a cosmetic procedure to fix his teeth in October, sharing the news with a series of pictures on Instagram. The Blast covered the update, reporting that he had showcased his veneers in all the images while thanking doctors.

The singer credited Dr. Gray King, Dr. Jake Bateman, and their team at Nashville Aesthetic Dentistry for helping him regain his confidence. "I've been insecure about my smile since I was a kid, but thanks to y'all I don't have to be anymore," Zimmerman wrote.

The procedure came two years after he revealed the reason behind his crooked teeth. Zimmerman explained that he had been on braces to straighten his teeth, but did not complete the journey because of his music career.

Zimmerman recalled that a fellow artist had implored him to remove his braces early because they gave him a lisp while singing. He didn't need much convincing, noting that he booked an orthodontist appointment the next day to remove his braces.

"Even though my teeth weren't completely straight. I told them, 'Don't care, take 'em off, I'm done.' And a week later, I wrote my first song," Zimmerman said.

The decision paid off, as he has gone on to release two albums, "Religiously. The Album" in May 2023 and "Different Night Same Rodeo" in August 2025.

Months before unveiling his veneers, The Blast shared in June that Zimmerman had teased a new collaboration with another prominent singer. He broke the news while reflecting on his hit collaboration with fellow country music singer Luke Combs.

Zimmerman noted that his song with Combs was a dream come true because he never believed the latter would respond when he first messaged him. Achieving this unique collaboration was the tip of the iceberg for Zimmerman, who claimed there was more to come.

According to the guitarist, fans were not ready for his "out of this world" collaboration with another famous artist. "Nobody would ever expect us to sound good together, but we do. I think it's gonna blow people's minds," Zimmerman raved.

Last year, Zimmerman got candid about the ideal scenario for finding a wife. He appeared on "Taste of Country Nights," noting that he hoped to settle down soon and had several women contacting him to become his Mrs.

However, Zimmerman did not want to start a relationship over social media. He explained that the ideal scenario would be like the plot of a romantic movie, where he would meet a "drop-dead gorgeous" lady and share an unforgettable night before parting ways.

Zimmerman then hoped they would randomly bump into each other months later and fall in love at first sight. "It's a crazy thing. Hopefully something like that happens," he gushed. That wasn't the first time Zimmerman had opened up about settling down, as he had repeatedly shared his desire to find a wife.
