Lainey Wilsonspoke about a surprising experience that once happened to her at one of her shows.
During a March 16interview with Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music, the country star recalled a time when she was asked if she had a backstage "pass" at her own show.
"This one time that I've like, I had an ego and didn't even mean to have one is we were playing a festival and I think it was like Elizabethtown, Colorado," Wilson, 33, recalled. "It was like a rodeo festival type thing."
She continued, "I was about to walk on stage. There was just like a couple hundred people there and I had my guitar strapped on me."
Suddenly, Wilson was stopped by a crew member.
"The man standing like right by the stairs for me to walk on stage goes, 'I need to see your pass,'" the "Can't Sit Still" singer recalled.
Added Wilson, laughing: "'I go, 'I am the pass.' And I was like, 'Who am I?!' Oh my gosh I am not proud of that."
Wilson then told the crew member that she could "'go get my pass, but it's got my face on it, believe me.'"
"Like, I got to get up there, bro," she said. "I gotta get up there."

PerTaste of Country, Wilson also spoke about how fame has been an adjustment for her during the episode.
"People who you would not expect to treat you any differently, treat you different," she said, noting that people who have known her for years sometimes forget she's remained the same.
Added Wilson, "People who like, you know Lainey not LaineyWilson. Like, 'hello, it's me.'"
According to the "Somewhere Over Laredo" performer it's "more of an adjustment for them than it is me, sometimes."
Earlier this month, Wilson revealed the helpful adviceKeith Urbangave her on an episode ofNo Filterwith Kate Langbroek.
"I ran into him and I was so tired. I had been on the road, I think we played 180-something shows that year. And I saw him and I was telling him, I was just like, 'I'm tired,'" she said at the time. "And he was like, 'No whining on the yacht.'"
Wilson continued, "And I was like, 'Keith, you better get up out my face.'"
Urban, 58, also gave him more serious advice.
"He told me not long ago, it's better to maintain balance than always be trying to achieve it," said Wilson. "So to me that means, figure out what works for you. Have work-life balance and don't lose that, because once you do and you're kind of lopsided, then it's hard to get back."
