Welch's surprise appearance during the 28-year-old singer's The Quittin Time tour was met with loud cheers. As Bryan sang the fan-favourite Revival, the Hawk Tuah girl enthusiastically belted out the lyrics. Holding a beer in her hand, she was dressed in an all-white cowboy ensemble that featured a crop top and ripped denim shorts. Welch paired the look with white knee-high boots and a large hat.

In one of the clips from the concert shared on TikTok, Welch approached the mic and screamed, “Hawk Tuah,” drawing applause from the audience. The video quickly went viral on social media, garnering 1.5 million views on X, formerly Twitter. As Welch's presence on social media continues to grow, her fame is becoming a controversial topic.

Good for her,” wrote a fan on X, formerly Twitter, while another said, “Let her enjoy this! She’s a blast!”
