Alexandra Kay is living her dream, thanks to the one and only Brad Paisley.
The songstress joined Paisley for the first run on his Truck Still Works World Tour over the weekend and had the opportunity to share the stage with him, singing the CMA Song of the Year winning tune, “Whiskey Lullaby.”
In the midst of his set, Paisley welcomed Kay to the stage, where she confidently belted out the heartbreaking lyrics alongside the country legend.

This was a moment Kay manifested. Before the tour launched, she made one of her signature coffee-making videos and asked, “Do y’all think Brad Paisley would let me sing this with him while we’re on tour?”

She admitted she would “cry” if it happened and called it “literally my dream come true.”
Written by Bill Anderson and Jon Randall, “Whiskey Lullaby” was recorded by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss and released in 2004 on Paisley’s Mud on the Tires album. The emotional ballad has since been certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA.
Reflecting on the milestone moment, Alexandra Kay wrote, “First night out with @bradpaisley .. an absolute dream come true. I have NEVER seen so many AK Tshirts in the crowd before. I love yall thank you for always showing up for us. Brad!! Thanks for this opportunity to play for your incredible fans! I’m forever grateful! Let’s do it all again this weeeeeekendddd.”
Prior to the tour, Kay reflected on getting the call to tour with Brad Paisley, admitting that she “called everyone” in her family to deliver the news. She also shared her excitement for having the opportunity to collaborate with Paisley during his show.
“When I found out what song he wanted to bring me out and have that moment with, I lost my mind,” she admitted to Country Now. “So it’s going to be iconic. I’m so excited, and I am such a Brad Paisley fan, and what really gets me excited about going out on tour with somebody is how many songs I know and Brad is just full of number one songs, full of hit songs. So I just am honestly just as excited to go out and be on the stage with him.”
Later, she shared plans to watch Paisley’s show every night on tour.
“I’m so excited to just after my show, go to front of house and sing all of his songs at the top of my lungs,” she said. “I’ve paid to go to so many Brad Paisley concerts, so the fact that I get to watch a free one for nine shows, I’m so excited.”
Alexandra Kay will return to the road on July 17 in Richmond Virginia alongside Paisley. The tour continues through August.
