His rise has been steady but 2024 catapulted him into another league.
He opened this year's Brit Awards with an unforgettable medley of his songs — Bad Dreams, The Door and the global smash Lose Control.
'That song will not go away,' he says with a laugh, on a video call from his hotel in Washington DC before his show later that night.
'I mean, I'm not in a hurry for it to go away, but it's still rocking.'

He grins: 'I'm super grateful for Lose Control.
"You're lucky to get a song like that in your lifetime, and I hope I get like, three or four more of those.
"I need another Lose Control as I need to try to buy this baby [his son] a boat one day.'
Despite his tattooed frame and his gold and diamond encrusted teeth, Swims is like a friendly, cuddly bear — warm, open and full of southern charm.

He says going back on the road and leaving his baby boy at home with partner Raiche Wright has been hard.
'It kills me leaving him,' he says.
Teddy Swims stuns fans with surprise intimate gig as he reveals his dream collaboration
'When we were leaving on the bus I was just sobbing and drinking.
"My tour manager was like, 'Bro, you got to stop the tequila, or you got to stop crying.
"'This is not a healthy way to start off on tour'.
'The first two days on the road were tough because I kept waking up and looking for him. But I'm excited to see him grow.'
Swims says he's loving his life.
'We bought a home in
"I'm so blessed, and I'm so grateful for everything I have in my life.'
He credits his partner, also a musician, for making him go to couples counselling after he finally tried
'I made myself a promise that after I got the first record out, I was going to get into therapy, and I finally did and it was great.
'Then Raiche mentioned
'We are completely different people and so I imagine how we see the world, and the way our son should be, will be different too.
'I'VE STRUGGLED WITH NIGHTMARES'
"I hope he will be a good boy because I was absolute hell.'
Raiche, who Swims met through social media, also inspired his single Bad Dreams.
'I've struggled with nightmares a lot in my life and sometimes I get to this point where I can't sleep, or I'm scared to sleep.
"Meeting Raiche, who's such a holistic person, it's been nice to have someone help with that, making me take charcoal and magnesium to sleep.'
Explaining how they got together, he recalls: 'I had been following her for a couple of years as we had been listening to each other's music.
'Then she came to a show of mine in Atlanta and we hit it off, and the rest is history.
"Within a year we were pregnant, so we needed to make this work.'
It was a very different story for
'I was in a relationship with someone who was an addict and I wasn't the best myself,' he explains.
'The substance of our relationship was literally the substances we were taking, and the lifestyle we were living.

"We became co-dependent.
'I'd never say anything bad about her. Sometimes you can love someone, but it's not meant to be.
"We brought out the worst in each other and it was hard to find a way to close that door and move forward.'
Still, the singer has found peace and believes that music saved his life in many ways.
He says: 'Throughout that record, you go from being so heartbroken in one sense, to having a family, a life and a career.
"Just being stable, and then trying therapy has been wonderful.
'I feel lucky for everything that happened, I had this 'ministry through music'.
"I've been able to be open and talk, to process it and put it into an outlet.'
'There's no way I'd be alive today if I didn't have that outlet.
"I'm so lucky to have people who love me and want the best for me and pulled me out of the dumps.
Now I get to be a millionaire because my ex broke my heart
Teddy Swims
'One day I'll have my son come out on stage and personally thank all my fans for the life they have given him.'
He says with a laugh: 'Now I get to be a millionaire because my ex broke my heart.
"So, I've nothing to do but thank her at this point.
'I've been on the straight and narrow for a while now.
"I still like to throw back my Miller High Life [beers] here and there and my tequila, but I've been off the cocaine and stuff for a very long time.'
Today Swims takes huge pride in being a mentor for people who have similar problems.
'Saving somebody from walking down a bad path or telling somebody they're not alone is what I'm here to do,' he says.
'There are still a lot of people with a platform who aren't saying sh*t.
"You've got to speak. Don't do nothing.'
He believes one avenue that can help make a difference is social media.
'FIRE FOR MUSIC'
'One beautiful thing about social media, which can be nasty in a lot of ways, is that there's always a community out there.
'The way people are supporting mental health, there are so many ways to reach out.
"It's been life-changing for me, and I'm sure for thousands of others around the world.
"It's a good time to get health — physically and mentally.'
Teddy Swims' second album, I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2), went to number two in the charts when it was released in January, and now, with the complete album also out, he sees it as a shared healing experience.
'Every time I play those songs and people sing along, I see how so many have gone through the same thing,' he tells me.
'When I tap into that feeling, I get to take ownership of it, and me and thousands of people are now celebrating together.
"That bad time in my life, or their life — we get to reclaim ownership of that trauma and dance around and think about how horrible it was.'
Influenced by classic soul singers such as Otis Redding,
'I saw them at Warped in 2007 when I was about 15 and that was when I got on fire for that music.'

Another influential rock band was Acceptance.
He recalls: 'Acceptance's album Phantoms really changed my life — they're one of my favourite bands ever.'
Born in Conyers, a suburb of Atlanta, Swims was discovered when in 2019 he sang a cover of
Before he hit the big time, he had been playing in cover bands and prog-rock groups.
His band were known as Teddy Swims, so the name stuck with him as a solo star.
He says: 'For so many years it had been such a slow burn for me, which I'm happy with.
"Fame has come into my life because I've been able to navigate it slowly.
"And luckily for me, I'm still playing in the same band with the same kids that I grew up with.
'And we still do everything together. We're rocking and writing here in the hotel, last night even.
'We're writing as we're on the road, because it's a clean slate right now to do whatever is next.
"And it's a beautiful thing to be wide open and not know where we're going.
"I try to be somewhat relatable because I could just write a daddy album.'
'TOUGH AND CUTE'
With his success, life on the road has also brought some unexpected changes for Swims.
He tells me: 'When I first needed a security guy around me, I found it a weird thing to navigate.
"I'm never really in danger and everybody I meet is always sweet to me. It's hello, hugs and taking pictures — and I love that.
'Fans can come say hi to me any day of the week. I asked for the attention, and I get it, and I love it. I'm excited.'
Being in the spotlight is something Swims doesn't shy away from.
At the Brits, he walked the red carpet wearing a cape made of teddy bears.
'My stylist friend Christian Stroble helped me put that together,' he says.
'I always try to keep it punk rock but I still want to be tough and cute.
"I would love to have a fashion line later and we will see what happens.'
I still feel like the little fat kid from Conyers sitting with a bunch of celebrities
Teddy Swims
He says: 'I did not know what I was walking into — it was huge.
"I'd never played a big show like that, so that was a big cherry popped for me there.
'And all those names that I find myself with at these events — it's nuts to be looking at those people as peers.
'There's always been a piece of me being there at the table and thinking I belong there.
"But I still feel like the little fat kid from Conyers sitting with a bunch of celebrities.
"But you know, heck yeah, I got a ticket too.'
Swims says he loves visiting the UK and can't wait to return next year when he's hoping to play some festivals.
'The UK has always been so good to us. They are sweet on Ted,' he says with a smile.
"Back in 2024, I spent more time in the UK than in America, I visited there about nine times.
'We were always so loved over there and we kept making memories with friends and it really paid off.
'The people there adopted me in a way, so, I'm very, very happy. I love Birmingham, it's probably my favourite city in the UK.
'But I just love the UK in general. I can't wait to be back there soon."

Laura Whitmore: 'Siobhán McSweeney said I'd have the best time at the Everyman'
There can be a lot of snobbery around the acting world, Laura Whitmore tells me, with a drama school pedigree considered de rigueur in certain circles. Considering the 40-year-old Bray native's credentials include a stint at RADA, a 2022 West End debut, and various film and TV roles, it's fair to say she's earned her acting chops, but her impressive CV still doesn't dampen the disdain from some quarters. 'I'll still get, oh yeah, but you're a presenter. You presented a reality television show. How can you do that?' she says, meaning acting, which was the craft she actually pursued first, getting down to the last eight for a role in Channel 4 series Totally Frank when she was 18. (She didn't get the part, much to the relief of her mother who wanted her daughter to see out her journalism degree at DCU.) Whitmore knows her worth, though, and has no truck with haters or misplaced snobbery. 'You just have to listen to your own voice, do what's right for you, create your own path and be authentic.' Being authentic has certainly worked for the former MTV presenter who, having got that gig ahead of 3,000 other applicants back in 2008, has since forged an impressive multi-hyphenate career across the worlds of TV, radio, podcasting, journalism, and entrepreneurship. She's consistently been drawn back to acting, though, starring in three plays in the last 12 months alone, and getting rave reviews for her performances. Laura Whitmore in The Girl on the Train 'I get such joy from it, which sounds weird because sometimes it's quite dark, some of the places you have to go. But, really, I'm really enjoying this,' she says, referencing her role in the stage adaptation of Paula Hawkins's 2015 bestselling thriller The Girl On The Train. Whitmore plays the 'flawed' titular girl, Rachel Watson, and in addition to loving the fact that the role requires her to be 'me at my least glamorous' — 'it's probably the least amount of time I've ever had to spend in hair and makeup, in that there is no hair and makeup' — Rachel's faults are what drew her to the role in the first instance. 'She's not this perfect protagonist who does everything right. She makes a lot of mistakes. But at the heart of this, there is a woman who is rebuilding her life.' Whitmore loved the fact that the story is written 'by a woman about a woman' and found the strong themes of alcoholism, domestic abuse, and coercive control that run through the narrative, 'relatable'. 'I think that's what I was drawn to, the human side of it. Rachel is very human and every single character in this play is flawed. There's no good guy and bad guy. Some are worse than others, but everyone has these traits that don't make them perfect, which is all of us really, isn't it?' Laura Whitmore attends the BRIT Awards after party at Claridge's on March 1, 2025 in London, England. To the casual onlooker, Whitmore herself might well come across as perfect. There's something of a head girl vibe about her, a sense that she's got her 'i's dotted and 't's crossed; that she charted her course for success early on and hasn't deviated. She's made her own luck and created her own opportunities, though, and is as far removed from the modern day 'nepo baby' phenomenon as it's possible to get. She's a grafter — 'If I'm given an opportunity, I will work my ass off to the best of my ability,' she tells me — and attributes her work ethic to the influence of her mother Carmel. In Whitmore's 2021 bestselling self-help book, No One Can Change Your Life Except for You, she also credits her mum with giving her 'the knowledge that having a child AND working is possible'. Having had her daughter, Stevie Ré, with Scottish comedian husband Iain Stirling in March 2021 (the trio live in North London), she's now well versed in the working mum juggle, and while she's making it work, with mum Carmel getting a shout out — 'every now and then, my mother comes over from Ireland and helps us out and saves the day' — Whitmore doesn't sugar-coat the downsides that come with her chosen career.'I remember working in Australia where I was on a different time zone, so you couldn't even talk to your family when you came up off set because they were asleep. It's hard. You have to really love it.' She's always had a clear delineation between her work and personal lives (although there has been crossover; Sterling narrates Love Island, the reality TV show Whitmore presented for three series, and the two have a podcast together, Murder they Wrote), but she's made it clear from early on in her working life that certain topics are off-limits, and that extends to her social media. 'I've got friends who show everything online and give all of themselves online and they're able for it. I just don't think I'm emotionally able to do that. I need boundaries. I know what I can cope with and what I can't cope with. Having boundaries helps.' When it comes to live theatre, Whitmore says it's the immersive nature that drews her to it. 'When I watch a film these days, I'm terrible. I'll be on my phone, scrolling, going, 'I know her'. Then my husband will say 'put down your phone and watch', because I'm, 'oh, I've missed a bit'. When you're in a theatre, you're not allowed to have your phone out, you have to be part of it and you have to be present.' Laura Whitmore attending the BAFTA TV Awards 2024 Whitmore says she hasn't been to Cork city 'in years' — although she did recently visit Skibbereen and Stevie Ré's godmother is Corkonian — but is looking forward to exploring when the production arrives Leeside later this month. 'Siobhán McSweeney was like, 'I hear you're coming to the Everyman. You are going to have the best time, they're so lovely down there. I'm so happy you're doing it'.' Cork is the only city in which Girl On The Train has an 8pm curtain up, she notes. 'Everywhere else is 7.30pm. I was like, 'that's so Cork. They just love the night!'' At this point in the run, the character of Rachel is 'in her bones' she says, but she's had to learn to leave her behind when she comes off stage. 'I found that was one thing I've had to learn, even from presenting. I've been doing quite a few documentary series recently, and I found that hard because I was bringing it home. I was lucky to speak to psychologists about that. The one thing they always say to me is you can't bring it with you, you have to be able to park it. You have to be able to, not forget about it, but be able to, again, have boundaries. It's the same with a character, when you're taking on a role who has been through a lot of trauma, you have to be able to step away and be Laura. Otherwise, it would be very difficult. I drink a lot of fake wine on stage. Sometimes I need a real glass afterwards.' The chameleon-like ease with which she switches between her various work hats is impressive, and she's her own best cheerleader. Laura Whitmore: 'The presenting makes me better at acting.' 'People like to put you in boxes and go, 'You're this or you're this',' she says. 'I think it's okay to constantly evolve and grow. The presenting makes me better at acting sometimes. And the acting makes me better at presenting. I'm doing a documentary series that's coming out in September and I touch on real-life subject matter that's quite dark, but actually the character of Rachel's quite dark. So some of the stuff I've learned from talking to families doing that series has helped me with the role of Rachel. It all links together in a weird way.' She's embracing it all and enjoying it too. 'It doesn't seem like a fun role, but I feel it's quite cathartic. And it's challenging and it's a bit scary. I quite like that.' She pauses and then adds: 'I don't think I want a boring life. I don't think I have a boring life.' Far from it. The Girl on the Train comes to The Everyman August 19-23 at 8pm; matinee, Saturday, August 23 at 2pm. Tickets from The play is at Bord Gáis Energy Theatre from August 26 to 30,

Teddy Swims on becoming a dad, his breakout year and finally trying therapy
