Lainey Wilson Opens Up About Shocking Concert Experience and Celebrates New Bar Opening


Lainey Wilson recently shared a troubling experience from her concert tour during an appearance on the Taste of Country Nights podcast. The Grammy-winning singer revealed that someone in the audience spit on her while she was performing. Although she considered confronting the person, Wilson chose to continue her show instead.

Reflecting on the incident, Wilson expressed her initial disgust, stating, "Why in the world would you buy a ticket and then go spit on somebody?" She acknowledged that some people might act out due to drunkenness or simply being mean. With humor, she recalled feeling like she "made eye contact with the spit" before it landed on her.

Wilson isn't alone in facing such disrespect; other artists like Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Adele, and Harry Styles have also dealt with objects being thrown at them during performances. In a separate incident, Wilson experienced a wardrobe malfunction when her pants split on stage, but she later joked about it, saying, "Y'all just about got a real show. A real show!"

On a more positive note, Wilson recently celebrated the opening of her own bar on Broadway, fulfilling a long-held dream. In an Instagram post, she shared her excitement, saying, "I’ve always said that if I ever had my own place, it would be called Bell Bottoms Up and I would bring a bit of Louisiana to Nashville." The bar officially opened on September 18.
