Everyone has their dreams—whether you're able-bodied or not. And this just proves that no matter what, your dreams can and will come true.
It was already a super exciting night for 10-year-old Rylee Clark. She was going to her first-ever concert at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. And, even better, she was going to see her favorite country artist, Lainey Wilson.
Clark suffers from spina bifida. According to the Mayo Clinic, the condition "happens when a baby's spine and spinal cord don't form properly in the womb". This means that Clark is wheelchair-bound.
But, per People, she had a pretty big dream she wanted to fulfill—to sing with her! So, with the help of her mom, she made a sign that read, "This is my first concert, I want to sing '4x4XU' with you."
In case you didn't know, Lainey Wilson has a pretty heartwarming tradition at each show. She invites a young fan onto the stage and names them the "Cowgirl of the Night".
And, would you believe it, Clark was selected as that night's Cowgirl. And their interactions together went viral online.

The Country Star Invited Her on Stage
Lainey Wilson invited her onstage, saying to her, "It's your time to shine. Want to say hi to everybody?" And her response was as iconic as you'd expect it would be.
"Hey y'all!" she exclaimed, before jumping right into singing. They belted out "4x4XU" together, to a massive fanfare from the crowd.
Following the show, Clark's mom, Casey, opened up about just what the whole thing meant to her and her family.
"So, she was born with spina bifida, but it doesn't stop her," she explained. "Especially with her attitude and her positiveness and just her being able to do it and not have any fear in the world and just go up there and rock it. It was everything I could to just hold back tears while she had her moment."
And, for Rylee, it was a dream come true. She said, "I want her to know she left me with my dream."
We're glad they had a wonderful time!
