MGK surprises Nash crowd and takes out Lainey Wilson

On Tuesday (September 24), rapper and singer Machine Gun Kelly performed a free show in downtown Nashville at Skydeck on Broadway, where fans began lining up early in the pouring rain in hopes of getting in.

MGK is in town Thursday night to attend the People's Choice Country Awards, as is Lainey Wilson, and with two being in the same place at the same time, magic happened.

MGK surprises the Nashville crowd by bringing Lainey Wilson to perform with him

As the packed crowd cheered loudly for MGK and his songs, he interrupted the show to bring out current CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year, Wilson.

The “Hang Tight Honey” hitmaker took the stage and the crowd flocked to it wild.

Together they sang “Lonely Road”, the song by MGK with Jelly Roll. Wilson and Jelly are labelmates, so it was a fitting choice.

In the video, Wilson helps MGK cut out some background vocals, then she sings Jelly's verse.

It's interesting to see such a big headlining country artist cede the spotlight to another artist and fade into the background during their performance.

A truly noble move. Jelly Roll once shared with Taste of country nights that he learned how to do that from Eric Church. So it's cool to see this trend spreading in country music.

When the song ended, MGK and Wilson shared a warm hug and Wilson left the stage while MGK continued his performance.

These cute pictures of Lainey Wilson + Devlin Hodges are working overtime

Slowly but surely, Lainey Wilson is becoming more comfortable sharing her relationship with former NFL player Devlin Hodges with the world. Although it's unclear when their romance began, the two made their first public appearance together at the 2023 ACM Awards. Then they attended the CMA Awards together in the fall.

Wilson has spoken very little about Hodges, but she shared that she isn't afraid to let him work in her Nashville home.

“I put him to work,” Wilson told Taste of Country ahead of the 2023 CMA Awards. “Look, he has a long list of things. I say, 'Take out the trash, mow the garden, do something to the flower beds, feed the dogs.'”

One thing is certain: they make an adorable couple.
