Country star Lainey Wilson is a fast star.

The 32-year-old rushed off stage to change her pants after they ripped during her performance at the Faster Horses music festival in Brooklyn, Michigan on Saturday, July 20. After being alerted by her team, she swapped her purple pants for a pair of dark jeans.

“Y’all just had a real show,” Wilson told the crowd with a laugh, according to a TikTok video recorded by a fan. “There’s a first time for everything and I’m glad it was y’all that I ripped my pants down for,” she said. As she sat on a large truck onstage, Wilson continued, “You can’t make this stuff up! I never would have known if my people here hadn’t seen it.”

“I’ve got new pants on,” Wilson told the crowd, before adding: “I’ll tell you what, try putting on jeans when you’re sweating. It’s no fun. You gotta jump in those things.” Wilson told the cheering crowd that this was her first Faster Horses performance and shouted: “We’re gonna have the time of our lives!”

Wilson paired her jeans with her first look, a purple cowboy hat (to match her previous pants) and a black leather vest with silver buttons. She accessorized with a bolo tie and wore her long blonde hair straight for the performance.

The “Hang Tight Honey” singer won her first Grammy earlier this year for her album Bell Bottom Country and took home the trophy for best country album. She was also nominated for best country duo/group performance for Jelly Roll’s song “Save Me,” which she features on.
