Grammy-winning country singer Lainey Wilson has shared a disturbing experience where an audience member spit on her during a concert last year. In an interview with Taste of Country Nights on Demand, Wilson recounted the incident, which occurred during her headlining tour.
Wilson described the moment as surreal, stating she saw the spit coming through the air and made eye contact with it before it landed on her. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter was taken aback, wondering why someone would buy a ticket to her show only to commit such an act.
Despite the shocking incident, Wilson chose not to confront the perpetrator and instead continued performing. She reflected on the experience, acknowledging that some people can be mean or simply intoxicated and acting recklessly.
This isn’t the first time Wilson has handled an unexpected moment with grace. Recently, during a performance at the Faster Horses Music Festival in Brooklyn, Michigan, Wilson experienced a wardrobe malfunction, splitting her pants on stage. Quick-thinking, she changed into another pair and continued the show, even joking about the incident.
Wilson’s ability to navigate challenging situations has earned her admiration from fans and peers alike. Currently on tour supporting her new album Whirlwind, Wilson continues to captivate audiences with her talent and resilience.
