Country star Zach Bryan invited the now infamous “Hawk Tuah” girl, who went viral for an on-the-street interview she did, onto the stage during a show at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday.

The 28-year-old country star surprised the crowd when he invited the internet sensation on stage as he was singing the encore song, “Revival,” per Billboard. Bryan is currently on his Quittin Time Tour.

“Hawk Tuah” girl has been identified as Hailey Welch, 23, who became massively popular on social media for giving her thoughts on what men desired during sex.

“You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang!” she said in a clip that has been circulating online. She made the comments during an interview with the creators of Tim & Dee TV.

Welch was wearing a cowboy hat and white boots at Bryan’s show. She carried a drink onto the stage and delivered a “hawk tua!” to the assembled crowd. 

Kacey Musgraves also guest-starred during the same show. She and Bryan performed their song, “I Remember Everything,” together. 

Hawk Tuah merchandise has become available from Fathead Threads, a family-owned business based in Marshall County, Tennessee, according to Rolling Stone

“Of course she hasn’t gotten a dime from the first viral video that went out,” brand owner Jason Poteete, who knew Welch prior to her going viral, told the outlet. “Nobody was asking permission for her to do nothing, neither. I just wanted her to get some profit off of this deal.”

“There are some crazy people in the world who’ve reached out to her,” he added. “She’s probably one of the most well-known people in the world at this point. But I don’t know if she’s embraced it.”

Rolling Stone calculated that based on sales figures provided, about $65,000 worth of merchandise had been sold so far. 

“It could be a blessing or a curse,” Poteete told the outlet. “She may be in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time. [But] I think she’ll do fine in the end.”

He added, “She has a bubbly personality. She can be somewhat risque. You never know what she’s gonna say. I just think the world needed a laugh, and she provided that.”
