Zach Bryan to address security concerns offered ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl Hailey Welch safe backstage access

Zach Bryan offered ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl Hailey Welch a spot backstage after the social media sensation expressed her concerns about safety in attending his concert.

The 21-year-old social media sensation bought her ticket to Zach’s concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Saturday before becoming a viral sensation with her enthusiastic sex tip, according to a report Tuesday by TMZ.

Hailey told her new team members about her safety concerns and they reached out to Zach’s team, who offered her backstage access and the opportunity to join the country star on stage during his “Quittin Time” tour.

Zach’s loyal fan kept a low profile before making her surprise appearance at the concert.

Zach, 28, and Hailey sang his hit song ‘Revival’ together as fans went wild, recording her every move.

Welch, wearing jean shorts, a white tank top, white cowboy boots and a large cowboy hat, shared the microphone with Bryan, holding a drink in his hand.

She also repeated her own viral moment, shouting her catchphrase “HAWK TUAH” into the mic as her fans went wild.

Hailey rose to fame in a June 19 interview in which she used the term “Hawk Tuah” to describe a sexual act.

Following her big public debut, DailyMail.com revealed that Welch had gone into virtual hiding in a quiet Tennessee town, where she lives with her family in a remote rural area.

Meanwhile, her friends and acquaintances in the close-knit community 60 miles (96 kilometers) south of Nashville have built a protective wall around her as she processes her new life in the spotlight, however long that may last.

While trying to live a secret lifestyle, Welch has made sure to capitalize on her viral fame by selling merchandise featuring her catchphrase.

Hailey recently partnered with Tennessee-based hat company Fathead Threads to sell her own line of hats after being Kick out.

“I was given permission to sell these hats after speaking with Hailey. She will receive a portion of the profits from the sale,” Jason Poteete of Fathead Threads shared on Facebook.

The company posted a photo of Welch signing two different types of hats, one with a leather patch and one embroidered, which are available for purchase.

The official headpiece that reads “Hawk Tuah ‘24” retails for $32.70 and sells for $43.70 with her original signature on the brim.

DailyMail.com has revealed that she will not be visiting the manufacturer to sign the caps, instead the caps will be brought to her at a neutral location.

Chelsea Bradford, the proud girlfriend standing next to Welch in the video, shared the merch deal on Facebook. “Finally someone will give my girl a commission,” she wrote.

According to Page Six, it was rumored that United Talent Agency (UTA) had gotten involved in the case to represent Welch. However, the agency denies that Welch is acting as a contractor, and UTA told DailyMail.com that any claims that they would hire Welch are “fabricated” and “false.”

Hours after that story broke, entertainment news website TMZ shot it down. There has also been unsubstantiated talk that Donald Trump’s former literary agent Byrd Leavell was interested in hiring her.

Hailey gained worldwide fame after she was asked for her tip on how to “drive a man crazy in bed” during a Tim & Dee TV street video in Nashville.

Excitedly and with great difficulty imitating the sound, she said, “You must give them that hawk ‘tuah.'”

Hundreds of memes followed, and the phrase was shouted by a fan as 2024 US Open golf champion Bryson DeChambeau teed off during the LIV event in Nashville.

Gymnast Olivia Duune also got in on the craze, writing “leave Miss Tuah out of this” after a GIF of Welch appeared in the comments section as she posted bikini photos of herself with her MLB star boyfriend Paul Skenes.

Two other sports heroes have also joined the fray. Philadelphia Phillies star slugger Bryce Harper himself went viral after referencing the craze while hitting a double in a home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Footage shows him making a fist and spitting on it, complete with the phrase Hawk Tuah. Mixed martial arts hero Conor McGregor then tweeted on X: ‘Have we found Hawk Tuah yet?’

Welch even made headlines worldwide when a New Zealand Warriors fan greeted him with a sign that read, “Hawk Tu-ivasa, leave that thing alone.”

The sign referred to Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, the Warriors’ speedy fullback known for his side-stepping.

“The Wahs crowd has an incredibly strong signing game,” said one fan on X. “They come out with absolute bangers every game!”

Welch’s parents responded protectively to DailyMail.com’s questions. Attempts to speak to Welch were met with silence.

Last week she was locked up in her family home and sources say the attention generated by the phenomenal response to Hawk Tuah is making her nervous, despite the money-making opportunities.

Other signs that the Internet sensation is under pressure include a post on Haliey Welch’s recently created Facebook account that read, “#hawktuah but I need some rest.”

Several fake accounts have appeared on social media, misspelling her name as Hailey. There is no confirmation that this account is real.

However, it has the correct spelling of her name and includes a photo of Welch with Poteete plus others with friends, including Chelsea. The photos of the friends were all posted within the last few days, but there is no indication of when they were actually taken.

Despite all the rumours, misinformation and wild speculation, DailyMail.com has learned from a source that Welch has enlisted the help of a lawyer to navigate the impending minefield and extract as much money as possible.

While the internet has raved about her, her crude advice hasn’t caught on 100 percent, with Howard Stern calling her “every father’s worst nightmare.”

The 70-year-old radio host said on his SiriusXM show: “As a father of three daughters, it’s every father’s nightmare to see her on Instagram saying, ‘Yeah, you gotta sell your tuah on that f***ing thing.'”

“I think when I analyze it, the reason people like it so much is because the girl is so uninhibited and it’s so natural when she says it. It’s like she didn’t even think about it.”
