Earlier this week, Bryan brought out the viral ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl as as special guest during his concert in Nashville, Tennessee.

While taking over the Nissan Stadium in Nashville last Saturday (June 29) as part of his ongoing ‘Quittin Time’ tour, the country singer brought out the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl – real name Hailey Welch – to join him during ‘Revival’ the final song of the night.

Welch has gone viral on social media after being interviewed about what drives a man crazy in bed during an on-the-street video interview. In the clip, Welch responds with: “You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!”

After singing the song with Bryan, Welch went on to give the crowd a “hawk tuah!” before walking off stage to roaring cheers from the attendees. Elsewhere in his set that same night, Kacey Musgraves came out to perform their 2023 collab track ‘I Remember Everything’.

In other news, Machine Gun Kelly recently covered Bryan’s ‘Sun To Me’, continuing his pivot into the country genre.
