Hailey Whitters is an up-and-coming artist in country music, who once waited on Jon Pardi’s while waitressing in Nashville.

Normally that would be a starstruck moment, except she already knew him from being an opener on a previous tour.

She had to return to waiting tables because her music career still hadn’t taken off.

“He’s walkin’ in, I’m smelling like fried food, greasy beignets, and [sh] beer and like, I wanted to literally find the back door and run for my life.”

When Jon asked why she was working there, she said he was sweet about it and said.

“Well, you wanna get me a beer then?”

Her patience and hard work clearly paid off, because she is touring with him again.

Hailey is an opener on Jon’s “Ain’t Always the Cowboy Tour” with Lainey Wilson, which kicks off in July.

You can watch the full interview on the “Whiskey Riff Raff” podcast.
