Lainey Wilson is proving the show must go on even in gross situations.
The Grammy award-winning singer revealed that a person spit on her in the middle of a performance last year and she never found the culprit.
“Last year, when we were on our headlining tour, when we were just on a club tour, somebody spit on me, on stage,” Wilson said during the “Taste of Country Nights, On Demand” podcast. “I thought about getting down there and finding whoever it was but I didn’t. I kept rolling. I just kept rolling.”
The “Watermelon Moonshine” singer brought up the spit situation when host Evan Paul talked about how Hardy went on a “Quit” tour that was inspired by a concertgoer who left him a note that read “quit.” He asked Wilson if she’s ever had something bizarre done to her.
“First of all, I was like, ‘Why in the world would you buy a ticket and then go spit on somebody?’” Wilson said. “But, also, there’s some mean people in the world. Also, they could have just been drunk and just being silly.”
Wilson recalled seeing the saliva in the air coming straight at her.
“It was weird. I saw it, like, coming through the air. It was like I made eye contact with the spit and then it just like, lands on me and I’m just like ‘I got a heart like a truck,” she joked.
This isn’t the first time Wilson had an unexpected incident happen on stage.
In July, she had a wardrobe malfunction onstage and split her pants. She joked with the audience “y’all just about got a real show. A real show!”
Even though she appears to be lighthearted about the unexpected situations in public, one country music insider, who toured with the star, said that she takes security very seriously while on the road.
“She had a big security guard with her at all times,” the insider told The Post.
Wilson moved to Nashville from a small town in Louisiana at 19-years-old to be a singer. Her music career didn’t fully take off until she appeared on “Yellowstone.” These days, she claims she’d like to star in a sitcom and perform voice acting in cartoons.
In the podcast episode, she also addressed how people, obsessed with her backside, were upset after she lost weight and slimmed down.
“People [are] mad that it ain’t as big as it used to be,” Wilson said.
She said she lost weight because she was running up and down the stage during her 90 minute shows on tour.
“It’s weird but I will tell you this, my fans, like the people that I have met along the way, they’re not the mean people on the internet,” Wilson said.
