Zach Bryan came to the rescue of the girl “Hawk Tuah” Hailey Welch before the Nashville show…arranging VIP treatment for her after she became concerned about unwanted attention from the crowd.
In case you missed it… Hailey joined Zach on stage at Nissan Stadium, making a cameo appearance during her performance of “Revival.” Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … HW didn’t just take the stage Saturday night to sing along, as Zach’s team had spoken to people close to Hailey ahead of the show.

We’re told Hailey has always been a huge fan of Zach and bought a ticket to the show long before it became the viral sensation it is today.
So as the internet search for Hailey intensified due to her meme-worthy “Hawk Tuah” quote, the 21-year-old found herself fearing for her safety in crowded public places like the concert. Remember, leading up to the show, she was keeping a low profile.
We’re told Hailey warned the members about her newly assembled team about their concerns, and they reached out to Zach’s people, who were more than happy to help — offering Hailey a spot backstage where she could watch the show safely.
Zach’s team also offered Hailey the chance to join him on stage during the encore, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that she didn’t pass up.

Hailey and Zach’s connection is also how their first interview came about. Remember, Hailey first spoke on the “PlanBri Uncut” podcast, addressing the various rumors about your personal life to host Brianna La Paglia (in Spanish) — who is Zach’s girlfriend.
Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram media.
It’s clear Hailey is making the most of her newfound fame, documenting her cameo and interview in her first video posted to Instagram.
Welcome to the spotlight, Hailey.
