Lainey Wilson’s ‘Best Friend’ Will Melt Your Heart
Lainey Wilson brought a young girl on stage over the weekend who could very well be her “mini-me.” Lainey posted the emotional exchange on her Instagram.
In the video posted, Lainey reads a note that was sent up saying, “My daddy bet me a horse trailer if I get on stage.” The girl comes up in a red and white flannel shirt and cowboy hat and gives Lainey a big hug. She tells Wilson, “You’re my favorite singer,” to which Lainey replies, “Girl, you got spunk; let me see the shirt.”
The girl said again, “You’re my favorite singer alive,” and Lainey responded, “Oh my gosh thank you so much.” The singer asked what her favorite song was, and the girl told her, “Heart Like a Truck.”
The little girl says, “My daddy is a farmer he does hard work for me and raises me up as a farmer and I love him.” Wilson turns to the audience and says, “Y’all, I just think I met my best friend.”
The little girl then says, “You’re my best friend,” and Lainey says, “No, you’re my best friend.” The young fan starts to recite her phone number to give to her best friend in the microphone and Wilson cuts her off and says, “Yes, we’re gonna get your number and we’re gonna talk.” The girl says, “Can I please write it down for you I’ve got horses.” Lainey tells the crowd, “Looks like she got horses. We definitely gonna be best friends.” The girl asks her hero, “Can we be friends please?” and Wilson says anxiously, “Yes.”

The girl again tries to give her phone number, and Wilson says, “Okay, we’re gonna get it come here. We’re not gonna say it in the microphone but we gonna get your phone number over here.” She goes to a stage and has somebody write the number down. She then bends over and asks for the girl’s name, she replies, “Savannah.” Lainey tells the crowd, “Give it up for Savannah,” as a guy gets her phone number Wilson points to the little girl standing next to her and says, “She knows what she wants. I’m gonna tell you right now this girl right here is gonna be successful. I’m not even playing. She is a go-getter!”
Wilson has the girl repeat after her, saying, “I am beautiful. I am smart. I am talented. I can do anything. I am cowgirl of the night.”
