What happens when ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson, and Post Malone, who released the song of the summer, "I Had Some Help," step foot inside The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville on a Monday night? Pure country magic, that's what.

Although we were not in attendance, the private event starring Wilson, Post Malone, as well as country singer Ernest, and songwriter Ashley Gorley, is one that's being talked about all over Music City today. The iconic venue posted just one of the many clips floating around below of the best singalong ever to Posty's No. 1 hit.

"When you have the number one song in the country and just made your Bluebird debut," The Bluebird Cafe captioned the Instagram post.

Malone is currently preparing for the release of his first country album following the release of "I Had Some Help," featuring Morgan Wallen, and "Pour Me A Drink," with Blake Shelton, which drops this Friday, June 21.

Wilson has been all over Nashville in recent weeks with stops at the Ascend Amphitheatre for her headlining 2024 Country's Cool Again Tour, performing at Nissan Stadium among the headliners of CMA Fest, and even opening her new bar downtown, Bell Bottoms Country.

Ernest also took the mic at The Bluebird to perform one of his new tracks, "Would If I Could," featuring Wilson, for the first time live since its release. The song is one of the 26 to be included on his sophomore album, Nashville, Tennessee, released earlier this year.

The Nashville hitmaker's label, Big Loud, posted a video of the collaboration to Instagram with the caption, "Only in Nashville, only at the Bluebird."

On Ernest's post, he commented, "One of those nights @bluebirdcafetn. Finally got to sing this one with miss @laineywilson …. @postmalone made it an hour without a cig too which is notable."

As she celebrates her 31st birthday today (5/19), Lainey Wilson is the reigning Female Vocalist for the ACMs and the CMAs. She also won the ACM Album of the Year award for Bell Bottom Country, beating out albums by  Miranda Lambert and Luke Combs.

There is no doubt that Lainey is well on her way to becoming a country music superstar. She currently opens stadium shows for Luke Combs and gets a performance slot at the 2023 CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in June in front of 65,000 fans worldwide.

As she celebrates her big day today (5/19), we count down what we believe are her six very best songs to date, with many more to come in the future.

6 - "Watermelon Moonshine" (2023)

The chorus of this fun song includes the lyrics, "Drinkin' watermelon moonshine / We cut the burn with a little lime / Parkin' back in them kudzu vines / I was his and every bit of that boy was mine / Too young to know what love was / But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz / There's never nothin' like the first time / And mine's always gonna taste like / Watermelon moonshine."


5 - "Never Say Never" (Cole Swindell with Lainey Wilson) (2021)

Swindell said, "I have been a fan of Lainey Wilson's for a while now, and what she brings to this song is everything it needed." The song hit number one on Billboard's Country Airplay chart.


4 - "Grease" - (2023)

A fun song that Lainey performed at the 58th ACM Awards, where she won Album of the Year for "Bell Bottom Country." Wilson released a dancing video for the song, finding country breakdancers that she saw at one of her shows and tracked them down to appear in the video.


3 - "Things a Man Oughta Know" (2020)

The music video for this song was shot in Wilson's own home partially and filled with personal elements and close friends. She said of the video at the time, "For the music video, we wanted to create a piece of art where people could watch it and feel something all over again." The song won the ACM 2021 Song of the Year.


2 - "Heart Like a Truck" (2022)

Lainey said of the song when it came out, "It's a song about finding freedom and strength. Not being afraid of the scars and the bruises and the bumps along the way. That makes you who you are. It builds character." It recently became her third number-one song on the Billboard charts.


1 - "Wait in the Truck" (HARDY with Lainey Wilson) (2022)

So many things to say about this amazing song. It just recently won Visual Media (video) of the Year and Music Event of the Year at the 58th ACM Awards. The music video is epic of the song labeled as a "murder ballad" about a male protagonist killing an abuser. Lainey and HARDY performed the song at the 2022 CMA Awards.
