Lainey Wilson made a young girl's dream come true, and the little girl might be getting a pony to boot. While on stage at a show in St. Louis on Saturday (6/17), Lainey brought the little blonde girl named Finley. Wilson read her sign: "Lainey, my dad bet me a pony if I get to get on stage at my first ever country concert."

One fan captured the sweet moments on TikTok. In the video clip, Lainey sees the sign, gets it, reads it, then tells security to let the little girl, who looked about five years old, on stage. The girl comes on stage and starts to cry as Lainey hugs her and says, "Looks like you're getting a pony." Wilson then calls out in the crowd looking for where her daddy is and says, "She's gonna get a pony now, hate to tell ya, but she's gonna get it, like, tomorrow."

Little Finley hugs her and leaves the stage after Lainey signs her poster. Many fans reacted to the post, including one who commented, "Lainey is a true gem." Another fan said, "That's my cousin; she's getting her pony." One more fan wrote, "Def lost it last night when they showed her crying! I told my husband, "She better get a damn pony!!"

Lainey recently sounded off on online scammers using her name to sell weight loss gummies. She posted a video on her Instagram pointing out that the ads are lies and that her name is being used without her permission. Wilson said in the video clip, "Alright, ya'll. By now, I'm sure a lot of you'll have seen some ads about me losing weight, being hospitalized, and how I started taking some weight loss gummies, and blah, blah, blah, it saved my life. Well, surprise, that's ain't true."

She continued, "People will do whatever to make a dollar, even if it is lies, 'cause ain't nobody sent me any gummies. If I have lost weight, it's because I am working hard and playing hour-and-a-half shows, and running around every night of my life. And to be honest, me losing weight or gaining weight ain't got anything to do with my music."

Lainey closed with, "I love you'll, and I don't want you all spending your money on one that ain't real. Don't fall for it. But I'll tell you what, it'd be real nice if they made some gummies that made your a-- tell the truth. You get a gummy. You get a gummy. We all getting gummies."

As she celebrates her 31st birthday today (5/19), Lainey Wilson is the reigning Female Vocalist for the ACMs and the CMAs. She also won the ACM Album of the Year award for Bell Bottom Country, beating out albums by  Miranda Lambert and Luke Combs.

There is no doubt that Lainey is well on her way to becoming a country music superstar. She currently opens stadium shows for Luke Combs and gets a performance slot at the 2023 CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in June in front of 65,000 fans worldwide.

As she celebrates her big day today (5/19), we count down what we believe are her six very best songs to date, with many more to come in the future.

6 - "Watermelon Moonshine" (2023)

The chorus of this fun song includes the lyrics, "Drinkin' watermelon moonshine / We cut the burn with a little lime / Parkin' back in them kudzu vines / I was his and every bit of that boy was mine / Too young to know what love was / But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz / There's never nothin' like the first time / And mine's always gonna taste like / Watermelon moonshine."


5 - "Never Say Never" (Cole Swindell with Lainey Wilson) (2021)

A fun song that Lainey performed at the 58th ACM Awards, where she won Album of the Year for "Bell Bottom Country." Wilson released a dancing video for the song, finding country breakdancers that she saw at one of her shows and tracked them down to appear in the video.


3 - "Things a Man Oughta Know" (2020)

The music video for this song was shot in Wilson's own home partially and filled with personal elements and close friends. She said of the video at the time, "For the music video, we wanted to create a piece of art where people could watch it and feel something all over again." The song won the ACM 2021 Song of the Year.


2 - "Heart Like a Truck" (2022)

Lainey said of the song when it came out, "It's a song about finding freedom and strength. Not being afraid of the scars and the bruises and the bumps along the way. That makes you who you are. It builds character." It recently became her third number-one song on the Billboard charts.


1 - "Wait in the Truck" (HARDY with Lainey Wilson) (2022)

So many things to say about this amazing song. It just recently won Visual Media (video) of the Year and Music Event of the Year at the 58th ACM Awards. The music video is epic of the song labeled as a "murder ballad" about a male protagonist killing an abuser. Lainey and HARDY performed the song at the 2022 CMA Awards.
