Shelby Lewellen is wearing a hat but not just any old hat. Shelby scored Brad Paisley's hat when she went to a concert in Lubbock with her mom Jamie Lewellen. After Paisley's final song he put his hat on Shelby's head while she was perched on Jamie's shoulders in front of the stage. Shelby said it was her best night ever. The band inside the hat says "Made by Stetson especially for Brad Paisley."

Better go fill up your vehicle and stop by the grocery store.
