The "Can't Sit Still" singer says she sometimes feels like she could have more of an ego, but recalled a time where she accidentally got too big for her britches.

"This one time that I've like, I had an ego and didn't even mean to have one is we were playing a festival and I think it was like Elizabethtown, Colorado," she recounts. "It was like a rodeo festival type thing."

"I was about to walk on stage," she continues. "There was just like a couple hundred people there and I had my guitar strapped on me."

As the music started playing, Wilson was about to walk out on stage when she was stopped by a festival staff member.

"The man standing like right by the stairs for me to walk on stage goes, 'I need to see your pass.'"

"'I go, 'I am the pass,'" she says with a laugh. "And I was like, 'Who am I?!' Oh my gosh I am not proud of that."

"I said, 'I can go get my pass, but it's got my face on it, believe me.' Like, I got to get up there, bro. I gotta get up there."

"It more of an adjustment for them than it is me, sometimes," she concludes.
