Country star Lainey Wilson's classy response after fan spits on her while she's playing on stage

As an ardent fan of Lainey Wilson, I am in awe of her grace and resilience. The way she handled the despicable act at her concert is a testament to her character, showcasing her class and composure under pressure. Despite the low blow, she chose the high road, continuing her performance with unwavering determination and poise.


As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share how I, much like Country star Lainey Wilson, would handle an unexpected incident during one of my concerts. If a fan were to act disrespectfully by spitting at me, I too would respond with grace and class, just as she did. It’s all about maintaining the positive energy that music brings and setting a good example for my supporters.

32-year-old singer, known for her song “Heart Like a Truck,” disclosed an incident during a performance where someone from the audience unexpectedly sprayed saliva towards her.

During her conversation with Taste of Country, Lainey, having experienced an embarrassing fashion mishap during her performance, confessed she felt like leaving the stage in search of the person responsible.

However, the country icon stayed true to her roots and opted to take the high road. 

Rather than focusing on the droplet that hit her chest, she persisted with her singing, demonstrating to the troll that she wouldn’t allow negativity to disrupt her performance.

She observed that even though she didn’t take any action regarding it, she spent the rest of the night pondering over the reason behind someone purchasing tickets for her performance, only to spit at her.

In an interview with a country music magazine last year, Lainey recalled an incident during one of our main act tours where someone spat at me while I was performing on stage.

‘I thought about getting down there and finding whoever it was, but I didn’t. I kept rolling.’ 

Despite her composed reaction making some believe the harsh action didn’t affect her, she confessed that for the rest of the performance, she was contemplating why someone would carry out such an act.

She commented: ‘Initially, I found myself wondering, “What on earth makes someone purchase a ticket only to harass another person by spitting at them?”‘

There are unfortunately some unkind individuals in our world. It’s also possible that they were under the influence of alcohol and simply acting foolishly.

As an ardent admirer, I couldn’t help but inject a bit of levity into the situation. I reminisced about the time when, in what felt like slow-motion, a drop of something… well, let’s just say it came my way.

The country singer expressed that it was odd, as if something were passing through the air towards him. It seemed like we had an unusual encounter, almost as if our eyes met with a spray of liquid, and before I knew it, it hit me. In that moment, I felt like I had a resilient heart, like a truck’s, he explained.

During July’s performance, Lainey, the nominee for the 2024 CMA Entertainer of The Year, experienced an awkward moment due to a mishap with her outfit.

The star’s pants split and she was left red-faced while singing as she told fans they were about to ‘get a real show.’ 

She remarked, “Everything has a first time, and I’m grateful it was you all who were there when my pants tore apart.

At first, the singer who made the Watermelon Moonshine didn’t realize that her pants had ripped. It wasn’t until her team informed her about it.

Lainey’s Country’s Cool Again Tour, launched in May this year, is set to keep rolling across North America all the way up until December.
