When Caleb Wilson went through his photoshoot for his SLAMU magazine cover just a few months ago, the soon-to-be top-five NBA Draft pick was asked about what music he'd play if he were in control of the aux cord.

Wilson revealed that there was one particular artist that he was a big fan of, as captured in this video that surfaced on social media.

That artist is Zach Bryan, a country music superstar who is known for his top hit 'Revival.'

Why is this relevant? Well, everything came full circle for Wilson when he attended Bryan's concert at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday night in Charlotte.

When Bryan returned to the stage for his encore, the crowd was hyped to hear him sing his hit single. However, Bryan wasn't the only star on stage for this performance, as he brought the now former Tar Heel on stage for the song.

As you'd expect, Wilson was hyped for the opportunity!

It's funny how things work. In what feels like it just happened yesterday, Wilson was jamming to the song in the Dean Smith Center during his photoshoot, giving credit to his former teammate, Derek Dixon, for "putting him on" to Bryan's music.

Not only has Wilson positioned himself to be one of the first names called when the 2026 NBA Draft gets underway, but has also earned that VIP status to be able to join one of country music's biggest stars on stage, proceeding to spend some time with him after the show (as seen in the photo he shared on his Instagram story below).

At this point, it's Caleb Wilson's world, and we're all just living in it! It's been quite the year for Wilson, and the scary thing is, this is only the start of great things to come for the man who needed just 24 games to get his No. 8 honored in the Dean Smith Center rafters.
