Lainey Wilson played Kansas City's Power and Light district this week. She met football royalty backstage, snapping a photo of herself with Patrick Mahomes, his wife Brittany, and Travis Kelce.

Lainey captioned the post with several images to Instagram, including one of a fan holding up a sign that read: "Lainey for President," from the Kansas City show, "We made some friends in Kansas City last night."

Fans loved the post, and many responded. One fan wrote, "Chiefs kingdom!!! Bell bottom country!!" Another fan commented, "I agree with the sign. I'd die 20 times for my country if Lainey was president." One more fan said, "WHAT A CREW."

See that post here.

Mahomes is a big country fan and often goes backstage to meet the stars that play Kansas City. He took photos with Kane Brown backstage at a show last year.

Lainey recently scored a number-one song with HARDY on their duet "Wait In The Truck." When it hit number one on the country charts this week, it scored a record for Lainey, who has had two consecutive No. 1 hits within three weeks, breaking the record for the shortest gap between top-charting songs on US Country Radio. Her song "Heart Like A Truck" was the first of the two songs to hit number one.

HARDY said when the duet struck number one, "I'm just so happy a song like this still has a place in country music. Thanks to everyone involved for taking this song to the top and for believing in this one."

Wilson said, "I'm so honored HARDY asked me to join him on a song that's had an impact on so many people and shed light on a topic a lot of folks are scared to talk about. He is one of the most brilliant songwriters I've ever met and puts on one heck of a show. I can't wait to be back out on the road together this fall!"
