Zach Bryan Joined by ‘Hawk Tuah’ Girl for ‘Revival’ at Nashville Concert
Zach Bryan welcomed the “Hawk Tuah” girl onstage during his concert at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday (June 29).
During the latest stop of his Quittin Time Tour, the 28-year-old country star surprised the crowd by bringing out viral sensation Hailey Welch — aka “Hawk Tuah” girl — to help sing the encore “Revival.”
Welch, 23, has taken the internet by storm after being featured in an on-the-street video interview discussing what drives a man crazy in bed. “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!” she says in the clip.
Dressed in a cowboy hat, cut-off shorts and boots, Welch strutted out on stage holding a drink and sang “Revival” along with Bryan. She even gave the crowd a loud “hawk tuah!” before walking off to roaring cheers.
Elsewhere during Saturday’s show, Bryan was joined by fellow country star Kacey Musgraves to perform their “I Remember Everything,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2023.
Bryan is gearing up for the release his upcoming studio album, The Great American Bar Scene, on July 4 through Warner Records. The 18-track project will include 17 songs and a poem, highlighted by the preview releases of “Pink Skies” and “Purple Gas.” A double vinyl version of The Great American Bar Scene is also slated to be released on Oct. 10.
In addition to prepping new music, Bryan has been headlining his Quittin Time Tour, which welcomes a slate of openers including Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Turnpike Troubadours and The War & Treaty.
