Country music star and Yellowstone actress Lainey Wilson knows how to steal the spotlight — whether it’s with her music, her acting, or her quick wit. On a recent episode of Celebrity Family Feud, she left host Steve Harvey stunned with a hilarious and bold answer to a playful question about pop icon Britney Spears.
The Memorable Moment
During the game, Harvey asked the teams a cheeky question:
“Name a Britney Spears song that describes you in the bedroom.”
Without missing a beat, Wilson slammed the buzzer and confidently responded:
“Hit Me Baby One More Time.”
The audience erupted in laughter, while Harvey gave one of his classic stunned expressions — a mix of shock, disbelief, and amusement. His exaggerated headshake suggested he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. Of course, longtime fans of Family Feud know that nothing really surprises Harvey anymore, but this particular moment instantly became one of the highlights of the night.
Interestingly, Wilson’s answer wasn’t just funny — it was actually a strong choice. The survey results revealed that Spears’ 1999 breakout hit …Baby One More Time ranked No. 2 on the list, with 19 people out of 100 choosing it.
The Other Answers
Wilson’s competitor, comedian Leanne Morgan, hesitated before giving her answer:
“Toxic?”
Though she sounded unsure, the 2003 Spears track turned out to be a correct guess, coming in at No. 3 on the board with 11 votes.
From there, things got even more entertaining as Wilson’s family members took their turns:
- Duck Hodges (Wilson’s fiancé): guessed “Shake It” — which, unfortunately, isn’t a Britney Spears song at all. The team received its first X.
- Michelle (Wilson’s mother): confidently answered “Bump It” — also not a Spears song, earning another X.
- Janna Wilson-Sadler (Wilson’s sister): correctly guessed “Circus”, which landed at No. 4 on the board with 7 votes.
- Taylor Sadler (Wilson’s brother-in-law): gave the bold answer “Slave”, which turned out to be correct, matching Spears’ hit I’m a Slave 4 U at No. 5.
When the turn circled back to Lainey Wilson, she guessed “Lucky”. While it’s indeed a Britney Spears track, it wasn’t one of the answers on the survey board, giving the Wilson family their third strike.
The No. 1 Answer Revealed
After the Wilson family struck out, the game moved back to Morgan’s side. She confidently answered:
“Oops!… I Did It Again.”
That turned out to be the No. 1 answer on the board, with the highest number of votes from survey participants. The classic 2000 Spears track not only gave Morgan’s team the round but also highlighted just how timeless Britney’s music remains in pop culture.
How the Game Ended
Despite Wilson’s viral moment and her family’s enthusiastic participation, Morgan’s team ultimately pulled ahead. By the end of the episode, her family secured the win and donated $25,000 to the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.
While the Morgan family took home the victory, Wilson’s personality and humor ensured that she was the true standout of the night. Fans on social media quickly started sharing clips of her hilarious Britney Spears answer, with many applauding her quick wit and fearless attitude.
