Julianne, a 7-year-old Dustin Lynch fan, had the opportunity to share the stage with the country superstar over the weekend and she totally owned the stage!
Lynch invited Julianne to join him on stage to sing his fast-rising hit, “Thinking ‘Bout You,” while headlining the Stampede of Speed Music Fest on Sunday, October 3.
“Can we get Julianne a microphone?” Lynch asked his team after introducing the young girl to the crowd of adoring fans.
After securing a mic, the pair made their back to the front of the stage.
“Come on, let’s go back out here where every body can see,” Lynch told her as he grabbed her hand. “We gotta make sure your mom can get a video of this.”

Julianne confidently filled in for the parts of MacKenzie Porter/Lauren Alaina as Lynch kneeled down by her side flashing his signature smile as the young girl took the spotlight.
The audience erupted with cheers at the conclusion of the impromptu collaboration.
“Can you please keep singing like this all night?” Lynch questioned as Julianne replied, “Probably!”
Following their performance they hugged and took a photo together.
Lynch shared the charming moments on his Instagram stories, declaring “Julianne, you made my night.”
The memorable on-stage moment came just as “Thinking ‘Bout You,” with MacKenzie Porter climbs to the Top 15 at country radio.
The track was originally featured on Lynch’s Tullahoma album with guest vocals from Lauren Alaina. He later re-worked the song with Porter when his team decided to release the song to country radio.
“We just saw how huge the reaction was… so I knew we needed to shine a light on this song,” Lynch recently told Country Now and other media outlets upon the song’s release to country radio.
Since then, it’s gone viral on TikTok and the accompanying music video has amassed nearly 2.5 million views.
