Lainey Wilson recently gave an 11-year-old superfan a memory to cherish forever, and fans are calling her a class act. The 31-year-old star made a special appearance on the Today show to perform songs from her upcoming album, Whirlwind, but what stole the show was her heartwarming gesture towards young Payton, who suffers from cystic fibrosis.
During her performance, Lainey summoned Payton on stage and embraced her. The moment was made even more special when Lainey announced that she would give Payton and her family tickets to her upcoming show at Radio City Music Hall. Lainey’s words further elevated the emotional scene: This is so special to me … I would love to give you and your family tickets and have y’all there.
Lainey looked stunning in black bell-bottoms with turquoise detailings and a matching shimmering turquoise cowboy hat over her signature blonde locks. This genuine connection with her fans is just one of the reasons why Lainey’s popularity continues to soar.
In addition to this special interaction, Lainey also hinted at her potential return to the hit series Yellowstone. While speaking with ET, she shared her enthusiasm about reprising her role as Abby: I’ll be honest with you. I’d be shocked… And I think how [series creator] Taylor Sheridan writes his stories, and he just has a beautiful way of bringing things back and letting things go — I’ll be shocked. So, we’ll see what happens.
This comes in light of Kevin Costner’s recent confirmation that he won’t be returning to the show. As fans await official news about the show’s future, many are hopeful that Lainey’s character will make a comeback. Ian Bohen, who plays Ryan, Abby’s love interest, confirmed that production for the final season is gearing up in Montana.
Even with an uncertain future on Yellowstone, Lainey’s music career remains robust. Her tour dates could potentially clash with filming schedules, as she hinted: What you don’t see on my calendar is rehearsal for this Country’s Cool Again tour. And that’s supposed to be like a week or two. So y’all better let me know.
The heartwarming moment on the Today show not only showcased Lainey’s vibrant stage presence but also underscored her deep connection with fans. Tickets for Lainey’s Country’s Cool Again Tour are available now.
