Lainey Wilson sweetly gave a Make-A-Wish kid the thrill of a lifetime and also teased Yellowstone’s return just days after star Kevin Costner confirmed he won’t be returning to his popular series.
The 31-year-old star appeared on the Today show on Tuesday morning to perform a few songs from her upcoming album Whirlwind, but the best moment of all was when she made a young fan’s dream come true.
Her superfan Payton, an 11-year-old girl who suffers from cystic fibrosis and was even so inspired by her idol that she formed a band, was summoned to the stage and hugged by the country star, who told her incredible news.
Lainey said: “This is very special to me, you also have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen in my life, but tomorrow night I will be playing at Radio City (Music Hall) and I would love to give you tickets for you and your family and have them”. ‘everything there.
And we’ll leave before the show. I’ll tell you the whole ordeal. It is going to be very fun. I would love to have you there. It’s going to be a party!’

It also teased the return of Yellowstone just days after star Kevin Costner confirmed he will not be returning to his popular series.
Payton was in disbelief as she quickly accepted the invitation with a big smile on her face before being hugged by the star.
Lainey looked absolutely stunning in her signature style of black flared pants while adding a pop of color in the form of turquoise details, including fringe on the vest.
She also sported a bright matching turquoise cowboy hat over her signature blonde locks.
On the show he performed songs such as Heart Like A Truck, Watermelon Moonshine, Country’s Cool Again and Hang Tight Honey.
Lainey also teased the possibility of a return to the hit CBS series Yellowstone.
Although his return has not been confirmed, host Al Roker said, “Oh, and by the way, congratulations on Yellowstone season 5, you’ll act accordingly.”
Lainey responded: ‘Yeah, fingers crossed. I’ll tell them “you know, she puts me back in.”
She joined the cast of the neo-Western drama series in 2022, and although she would love to return for the next season, Lainey has not revealed her possible involvement.

The country singer, whose music has also been featured on Yellowstone, told Entertainment Tonight last month: “I literally don’t know yet, but I’m waiting for the call.”
Lainey believes the future of Yellowstone and her own involvement will be determined by Taylor Sherdian, the show’s co-creator, who has reportedly been at odds with the show’s star, Kevin Costner.
But the Things a Man Oughta Know hitmaker is desperate to know if she will be involved in the show’s future.
Lainey played Abby, an aspiring country music artist and love interest of Ian Bohen’s Ryan, in the first half of season five.
Lainey previously revealed that she hopes Abby will appear on the next season of Yellowstone.
The singer-turned-actress admitted she would be surprised if Abby didn’t return to the hit TV show.
She told Entertainment Tonight in April: ‘I’ll be honest with you. It would surprise me.
Lainey also teased the possibility of a return to the hit CBS series Yellowstone.
Her love interest in Yellowstone was Dutton Ranch cowboy Ryan, played by Ian Bohen.
“I think Taylor Sheridan writes her stories and has a beautiful way of taking things back and letting go. I’ll be surprised. We’ll see what happens.”
On the other hand, Lainey noted that his touring schedule could hinder his Yellowstone ambitions.
The award-winning star admitted that her tour dates could coincide with filming, meaning she wouldn’t be able to commit to the next season.
Lainey said: ‘What you don’t see on my calendar is the rehearsal for the Cool Again tour of this country. And that’s supposed to be a week or two. So you better let me know.
