Jackson Dean has “been terrorising the backwoods” ever since he received an end-of-tour gift from reigning Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson.

Lainey included Jackson in the lineup of her headlining Country’s Cool Again Tour. The Don’t Come Lookin’ artist reminisced in a clip he shared on Tuesday (June 24), “as an end-of-tour gift, I got her a guitar… and her being Lainey Wilson, she got me a four wheeler.

“The best part about being out there with Lainey on the road (was) probably getting to sing with her on the tailgate of a truck that spun in the middle of the stage, which is wild,” Jackson said. “That was my favorite part.”

Last year, he shared a look at the end-of-tour gift he made for Lainey, including a look at how he made it and a glimpse of Lainey's reaction. The Whirlwind star’s jaw dropped as she exclaimed, “stop! Stop. You are lying. …He makes these! This is insane, bro. Thank you. Oh, my gosh. …Now we need to write us (a song) on here.”
