Lainey Wilson chose to keep it « rolling » after a concertgoer spit on her during a show last year.
During an interview with « Taste of Country Nights, on Demand, » the Grammy Award winner recalled the moment she « made eye contact with the spit » as it soared through the air at her.
« Last year, when we were on our headlining tour, when we were just on a club tour, somebody spit on me, on stage, » Wilson told the outlet. « I thought about gettin’ down there and findin’ whoever it was, but I didn’t. I kept rolling. I just kept rolling. »
A lot went through the country star’s head during that moment.
