Lainey Wilson’s fans always show up in style for her live shows, but one young cowboy at her Vegas concert stole the spotlight, creating an unforgettable moment.
During her recent run of shows, Wilson has made it a tradition to bring a young female fan onstage to be crowned the “Cowgirl of the Night.” At her T-Mobile Arena concert during the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas on Sunday, Dec. 7, she added a new twist, welcoming another fan who instantly caught her eye to join her on stage as well.

While scanning the crowd, the Louisiana native took notice of a boy who was dressed up as someone very near and dear to her heart – her fiancé, Devlin “Duck” Hodges. The fan was seen sporting a pair of blue jeans, a camo hat, a fake mustache and a black long sleeve that had “duck” written in white letters across the chest, making it very clear that he was trying and replicate the former NFL player’s signature look.
Wilson pulled the boy on stage at the perfect time in the setlist as she sang the upbeat “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day,” a song that portrays her love story with her fiancé. The tune finds Wilson sharing a look into the night they first met in 2021 at Nashville’s Silverado Dance Hall & Saloon after being introduced by a mutual friend. With playful, vivid lyrics, she recounts that magical night want goes on to wish that she could relive it again and again.
“Yesterday all day, every day/ Stuck in a loop like Punxsutawney/ No tock on the ticker, I don’t wanna change/ Twenty-four more of you loving on me,” she delivers on the chorus.
Holding the young boy’s hand, she twirled and danced around the stage, singing the heartfelt track. Once she gently escorted him offstage, she returned to the mic to finish the song on her own. In the midst of the permeance she jokingly told the crowd, “I’m marrying a man named Duck…y’all keep him in your prayers.”
“Yesterday, All Day, Every Day” appears on the expanded version of her GRAMMY-winning album, Whirlwind, which arrived on August 22. The five additional tracks also includes “Bell Bottoms Up,” “King Ranch, King George, King James,” “Somewhere Over Laredo” and “Peace, Love, and Cowboys.”
Lainey Wilson and the real “Duck” are currently in the midst of wedding planning, following their engagement back in February. He popped the question on the porch of the late country legend George Jones’ estate in Franklin, Tennessee, and she said “yes.”

Along with wedding planning, the multi-PLATINUM singer, songwriter has a lot more on her plate as she prepares to extends her headline tour in 2026. The new dates will include stops across Australia and New Zealand with special guests Flatland Cavalry and Kaitlin Butts on select dates.
A full list of upcoming dates can be found on Lainey Wilson’s official website.
