Lainey Wilson’s Viral “Flared Butt” Moment Is Back and Better Than Ever!
“I Went Viral In A Pair Of Pants Like That” – Lainey Wilson Jokes About Viral Booty Video While Celebrating “Cowgirl Of The Night”

Known for her humor as much as her music, Lainey Wilson recently headlined the Cavendish Beach Music Festival in Canada. During her performance, she invited a young girl named Lexi from the crowd to join her on stage as part of her signature “Cowgirl of the Night” segment. Lainey introduces the girl and gifts her a cowgirl hat matching her own.
As she interacts with Lexi, Lainey encourages her to repeat her empowering mantra: “I am beautiful. I am smart. I am talented. I can do anything. I am Cowgirl of the Night!”. Lexi shared that she’s nine years old, and Lainey reflected on her own milestones—writing her first song, getting her first horse, and visiting Nashville for the first time—along with receiving her first pair of bell-bottoms, which she calls a significant moment in her life at the time.
Lainey is no stranger to internet fame, having gone viral years ago for her distinctive figure, which became a TikTok meme. She embraces the attention humorously, joking about her viral “bell bottom” moment and saying she’s fine with the spotlight if it helps promote her music. She even posted a meme of a “dump truck” to acknowledge her viral reputation.
When Lexi appeared on stage wearing leopard print pants similar to those that once made Lainey a viral sensation, she jokingly referenced her past fame: “I think I went viral on TikTok in a pair of pants that look like that. Y’all remember that?”
Lainey’s ability to laugh at herself and her early viral fame has helped her cultivate a positive image. She’s become a mainstream star, using her platform to create memorable experiences for her fans, especially young girls, who she continually celebrates and empowers through these personalized moments on stage.
