Nothing makes my night more than seeing a familiar face in the crowd. It’s been quite a ride hasn’t it.
The crowd’s reaction was instant. You can hear everyone cheer loudly supporting her emotional moment. Fans online said it felt so real and human. It showed that for Lainey fame is not about being a star; it is about the people who helped her get there and she never forgets them.
That raw emotion is what makes her concerts so special. To see another powerful moment where her feelings took over watch this clip from a different show where she breaks down in tears while singing one of her most personal songs.
