Lainey Wilson has created a little dance she does before she takes the stage and sings her latest single, "Hang Tight Honey," to prevent herself from having a pants-ripping mishap during the high-octane song.

She posted a copy of the new practice footwork on Instagram. In the clip, the country star is wearing brown leather bell-bottom pants, a beige tank top, a cropped poncho, and a cowboy hat. She wrote over the short but fun instructional video, "Adding this to my rotation before a show so my britches don't rip like they did at Faster Horses."

Lainey's almost three million followers loved her new routine, and many commented. One fan gushed, "You were awesome no matter what happened with your pants! Thanks for a great concert!" Another fan said, "You were amazing last night!!! I loved seeing you sing!!! It made my heart full!!" One more fan offered, "Keep it going, Lainey. We're all so proud of you, and we love you and your music!!"

There's something so intimate about a country singer sitting casually on the porch at their Tennessee home with a guitar in hand and singing a song. Wilson did just that this week and posted the simple yet dazzling performance to her Instagram and almost 3 million followers.

Wearing a blue casual jumpsuit and a blue matching ball cap, Lainey filmed herself on her porch with a guitar in hand. She sang the lyrics, "Hypnotized by the white lines / Your hands ten and two on this heart of mine / Makes me feel at home / Yeah, boy, I'm right at home."

The chorus: "In a 4x4 by you, babe / From the Bayou to Kentucky / City to the country
From here to Timbuktu / Boy, after a long day / Ya know there ain't no wrong way / To drive my crazy crazy / In a 4x4 by you."

The county star captioned the post, "On the floorXfloorXyou."

Fans were over the moon with the performance, and many commented on the post, including one who said, "Love this so much!" Another fan commented on her outfit choice: "Excellent color on you!" One more fan gushed, "So pretty girl!!! Sounds great!!!"

"4x4xU" is her latest song and music video. It is from her upcoming Whirlwind album, which will be available on August 23.
