Lainey Wilson's new 30-second ad for Whataburger is being described by People as "fun." The publication got a sneak peek of the ad that features Lainey performing in front of a roaring crowd, cutting to her taking selfies with fans and hopping on her tour bus.

As the bus rolls down a scenic route, Wilson exclaims, "I'm so hungry I could eat all the tires off this bus!" Then a memory motage plays of her out on the road and meeting fans. Then, the country star instigates a pillow fight with band members on her bus and raids the bus kitchen, which is full of Whataburger snacks.

Lainey says in the ad, "When you're on the road, there's a lot of late nights. A lot of early mornings, a lot of honey butter chicken biscuits. And a lot of great times with my band."

"You hear my belly growling?" Wilson says. She pulls up a photo of a honey butter chicken biscuit. "Yup, I'm gonna need one of those, right now."

The singer and the tour bus pull up to a Whataburger and order a full spread of menu items. She says, "What-a-BURGER!"

The Whataburger logo then flashes with a message beneath: "Tell 'em Lainey sent ya."

The superstar first posted about her partnership with Whataburger back in January on Instagram.

Lainey captioned the post on Instagram, "The #WhirlwindWorldTour kicks off in Europe. I feel like I’ve been counting down the days since I put this record out, and it’s hard to believe that it’s finally here. Let’s get this party started"
