“I cannot wait to show her this! She is going to melt. Thank you so much for being such a good influence to these girls,” she wrote.
This isn’t the first time Lainey Wilson has left a lasting impression on a young fan. Earlier this month, 4-year-old Amelia wowed the crowd at the Tiny Tot Pageant near her hometown with a heartfelt performance of Wilson’s latest hit, “Somewhere Over Laredo.”
The performance caught Wilson’s attention, and just days later, she invited Amelia and her family backstage at one of her concerts.
The meeting was every bit as sweet as you’d imagine. Wilson got down on Amelia’s level and sang the song with her, creating an unforgettable duet. The adorable moment was shared on social media, melting hearts everywhere.
The CMA Awards host has previously opened up about being a role model for young girls, telling People, “that pressure is going to hold me accountable.”

“But I know I have a lot of little people watching me, and watching what I wear, watching what I say,” Wilson added. “It’s important for me to make sure that I can lay my head down at night, and be proud of what I did or said.”
Lainey Wilson’s massive headlining tour is still underway and is set to wrap up in Orlando, FL on November 8. Her final show of the year will take place in Las Vegas on December 7.
