This may or may not make you cry a little.
During a recent stop on the Australian leg of her “Whirlwind World Tour”, Lainey Wilson did what she’s known for her shows. She paused her show to create an unforgettable moment for a very special fan.
It’s the part of her show, where Lainey crowns one lucky audience member as her “Cowgirl of the Night”. At her Brisbane concert, that honor went to a very brave young girl named Tessa.
Tessa was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma in 2023. After years of treatment, the family found out that she relapsed and not only did the cancer return, but it was spreading fast.
After finding out that Tessa is a big Lainey fan, social media personality Samuel Weidenhofer gave the young fan tickets to see her. Tessa met Lainey backstage, where she gave the her a matching Charlie 1 Horse cowboy hat, but Lainey’s sweet gesture didn’t end there. She also crowned Tessa as the “Cowgirl of the Night”.
When Lainey brought Tessa onstage she pointed how Tessa did her own make up for her special occasion. Lainey told the audience, “she did her own makeup tonight too. We were hanging out backstage…and I was like ‘who did your makeup? like I need to call them’…she was like…I did.”
Lainey also said, “if anybody’s got a heart like a truck, it’s you”, to Tessa. She was the perfect “Cowgirl of the Night” too. God bless you girl.
