American country music star Lainey Wilson has revealed the disgusting thing a concertgoer once did to her while she performing on stage.

The Hang Tight Honey singer, 32, appeared on Taste of Country and said a reveller "spat" on her and she "saw it coming through the air".

"Last year, when we were on our headlining tour, when we were just on a club tour, somebody spit on me, on stage," she explained.

Wilson said she wanted to "find" the person but then decided to keep performing.

"I thought about gettin' down there and findin' whoever it was, but I didn't. I kept rolling. I just kept rolling," she said.

"First of all, I was like, 'Why in the world would you buy a ticket and then go spit on somebody?'

"But also, there's some mean people in the world. Also, they could have just been drunk and just being silly."

Just a few months ago, Wilson took home Entertainer of The Year at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.

The Grammy Award winner used to work as a Miley Cyrus impersonator before hitting the big time.

She recently reflected on her career and told 9honey: "But I never had the feeling of, 'I don't know if I can do this'. I knew I was cut out for it. I knew that I was born to do this, even from a very early age."
