It wasn’t Santa sliding down the chimney who made one young girl’s Christmas extra special this year – but Lainey Wilson walking up to her door.
It all started when the video of a young fan opening her Christmas present got the attention of the Queen of Bell Bottom Country herself.
In the video posted by the young girl’s mother, Chelsea, her daughter Sophia is opening her Christmas gift and is surprised to find…a box. And inside that box is…another wrapped box. And another wrapped box. And another.
Mom made her work for this one.
But finally Sophia gets to the final box, and immediately bursts into tears of joy when she realizes it’s tickets to see her favorite singer, Lainey Wilson.

But that was just the beginning. The video made its way to Lainey herself, who reposted the video to her own TikTok with another surprise for young Sophia:
“I’ve watched it a million times. You’re about to make me cry…
Girl, come on. I’m going to be seeing you in Huntsville, and we’re gonna make it a night. You’re gonna come backstage. I love you, and I can’t wait to meet you girl. We’re gonna make a thing of it. Wear your bell bottoms, wear your hat, I’ll see you there.”
@laineywilson #duet with @Chelsea Rae Gwin I’m the one that wants to meet you sister! You are evwrything that is good in life. 💙 #laineywilson #merrychristmas ♬ original sound – Chelsea Rae Gwin
Well it turns out Lainey had one more surprise in store for Sophia.
She was so moved by the video, that she paid the family a visit on Christmas day to meet her biggest fan in person:
“This has just made my Christmas girl. I’m so glad I got to come see you. You’re so sweet. I’m telling you I watched that video a million times, I’m not even playing.”
Sophia was clearly overwhelmed by the incredible gesture from her favorite artist – and I’m sure it’s a Christmas she’s never going to forget.
