On Friday (8/11), Hailey Whitters was surprised on stage by Dan + Shay with her first-ever RIAA platinum plaque for her breakout single, “Everything She Ain't.”

Whitters was supporting the duo in Doswell, Va. when they came out mid-set to present her with plaque. The RIAA certification arrives on the heels of the ACM New Female Artist of the Year’s latest EP, I’m in Love, on 7/28, which she co-produced with Jake Gear.

Earlier this year, the Make Wake/Range-managed artist wrapped her headlining tour in support of her 2022 album Raised and supported Shania Twain on her Queen of Me Tour as well as performed tour dates with Dierks Bentley.

Currently in the midst of a festival-packed summer with performances to come at Country Thunder, Bourbon & Beyond andPilgrimage Music Festival, Whitters is also gearing up to hit the road in September with Eric Church, followed by a run of dates supporting Luke Bryan.

Seen just before drenching the crowd with 128 gallons of Gatorade are (l-r) are Shay Mooney, Whitters and Dan Smyers.
