Viral ‘Hawk Tuah’ Girl Joins Zach Bryan on Nashville Stage

In a unique blend of internet fame and country music stardom, Hailey Welch, recently introduced to the world as the “Hawk Tuah” girl, made a grand appearance on stage with country superstar Zach Bryan. This unexpected event took place during Bryan’s ‘Quittin Time’ Tour concert at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium.

Welch, who shot to overnight internet fame due to her humorous and now-famous “Hawk Tuah” catchphrase, was personally invited by Bryan to join him during his encore performance of “Revival.” The audience went wild with excitement as Welch stepped on stage, donning white cowboy boots, cut-off jeans, a cowboy hat, and holding a drink. Despite a few lyrical mistakes, she delighted the crowd with a special “Hawk Tuah” shout.

This marked Welch’s first public appearance since her viral video. While she hasn’t profited from the video itself, Welch’s newfound fame has opened a slew of opportunities, including this chance to be a one-night-only backup singer for Bryan. Her brand manager disclosed that Welch has already sold over $65,000 worth of “Hawk Tuah” merchandise, likely just the beginning of her potential earnings from the catchphrase.

The ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl’s appearance was just one of the night’s highlights.

According to Rolling Stone, the Nashville concert featured another surprise when Kacey Musgraves joined Bryan on stage to perform “I Remember Everything,” making it an unforgettable night for everyone present. Bryan has skillfully managed to bring together a diverse array of guest appearances, from rock legends to internet celebrities.

The collaboration between Welch and Bryan showcases the intersection between internet culture and traditional entertainment. Welch’s viral fame, born from a humorous Instagram interview, catapulted her onto the stage with Bryan, leaving us to wonder where her journey will take her next.

Thanks to the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl’s knack for capturing the internet’s attention, we’ll undoubtedly hear about her next big move.
