Brad Paisley has built a loyal fan base over the years, and he recently showed a young fan some serious love with an amazing, unexpected gift. In a TikTok video from a Richmond, Virginia concert on July 17th, the country music icon approaches a young fan in the crowd. He whips out a Sharpie, signs the guitar he’s wearing, and hands it to the young boy.
“Thank you so much,” the man holding the little boy says. After smiling and saying a few words to the pair, Paisley returns to center stage with a sweet prediction. “We’ll see you up here in about ten years, kid,” he said. Paisley’s generosity led to loud cheers from the audience.
The fan who posted the video wrote, “I hope this can find the little boy’s family so they can have this memory on video!” in the caption. As it happens, that hope came true, with another TikTok user commenting that the boy in the video is her son.
Paisley Has a Long History of Giving Away Guitars

This gesture was undoubtedly heartwarming, but it isn’t the first time Paisley has given such a gift. The singer has a long history of giving guitars to young fans in the audience at his concerts. As Parade reported, he has even crafted special social media messages for some of the kids. In 2018, he took to Facebook with some heartfelt words for Braden, a recent recipient of this unique gift. “My hope for you is that it simply brings you joy,” Paisley wrote.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Paisley’s gift-giving came in 2024, when he unknowingly gave a guitar to a fan whose mother had tried reaching out to him two years earlier. The singer posted a TikTok video detailing the incredible coincidence. In 2022, the fan’s mother asked Paisley if he could give her son, who was learning to play guitar, a shout-out during the show.
Paisley never got a chance to answer the message, but the mother wrote to him a second time in 2024 to let him know that he had just given her son a guitar the night before. “This is why we do what we do,” the singer captioned the post. In the video, the young guitar-playing boy looks absolutely thrilled with the guitar Paisley gave him.
The Singer is Currently Out on Tour

Paisley’s most recent guitar gift came as part of his “Truck Still Works” tour, which kicked off in May 2025. In an announcement from earlier in the year, the singer’s team stated that the initial leg of the tour was scheduled to run through the beginning of August.
The singer took to Instagram with a post thanking the Richmond, Virginia crowd for a great show, and got a “thank you” of his own. The mother of the little boy who received the guitar shared a heartfelt message in the post’s comments section. “Thank you for gifting my little boy Luke your special guitar!” she wrote. “It was the most unforgettable night for him (and us)!!”
