Zach Bryan surprised his fans at his Nashville show by bringing the viral Hawk Tuah girl onstage.
The "I Remember Everything" singer, 28, held his latest show at Nashville's Nissan Stadium on Saturday, June 29. Aside from his solo performance, he surprised his fans with a Hawk Tuah girl cameo.
The viral girl, who has since been identified as Hailey Welch, appeared in her white crop top, jean shorts, large cowboy hat and cowboy boots. The pair performed Bryan's hit song, "Revival."

While some users praised Welch's appearance, others hated her for the performance.
One wrote on X, " This generation is so f------ sad. I hate seeing this stupid a-s---. everything is overly hyper sexualized. This Hawk Tuah trend is taking over & infiltrating the minds of young individuals & it needs to stop. Never once did I think a car company would use a dumb trend to sell their stuff. Sad to see. L brand."
"I hate that hawk tuah meme," a second declared. "I've never seen nor heard anything unfunnier and I literally watch my stream VODs so that's saying a lot tbh ."
" Am I the only one that doesn't think hawk tuah is that funny ," said a third X user.

Welch, meanwhile, broke her silence for the first time amid the rumors about her personal life. She sat down for an interview on Brianna LaPaglia's "Plan Bri Uncut" podcast on Monday, July 1, to share her reaction to her newfound fame and set the record straight about the buzz.
According to the viral girl, she was never a school teacher and was not fired from her job after the TikTok video was uploaded.
She also shared how her parents reacted to her newfound fame.
"They think it's so funny," she said. "They know how I am though, because you can never tell what comes out of my mouth. I mean, it's a hit or a miss, what comes out of my mouth. I just talk out of my ass. The one time I say something like that, of course there's a camera in my face."
Since going viral, the Hawk Tuah girl reportedly received a $600 offer for a spit in a jar. She has also sold at least $65,000 worth of merch branded with her famous Hawk Tuah catchphrase.
"I have been authorized to sell these hats after a conversation with Hailey. She will be receiving a portion of the profits from sales," Fathead Threads' Jason Poteete said on Facebook.
