  "account": "At the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's All For the Hall event in Los Angeles, Lainey Wilson surprised fans by bringing John Mayer onto the stage for a live debut performance of their collaboration \"Phone, Keys, Wallet.\" The song, currently at No. 15 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart, was first written in Los Angeles at Chaplin Studios. The stars bonded over the song, with Wilson telling the audience that she had specifically thought of Mayer when they penned it. Mayer, after hearing the pair perform the song on a phone speaker, immediately joined the duo on stage, grabbing his guitar and joining in. Other performers at the event included Jelly Roll and Lukas Nelson. Lainey Wilson showcased her talent with renditions of \"4x4xU\" and \"Wildflowers and Wild Horses,\" while Lukas Nelson joined her for \"More Than Friends.\" The evening also paid tribute to the late Dolly Parton with a cover of her 2013 Kenny Rogers collaboration \"You Can't Make Old Friends.\" The All For the Hall series, which began in 2007, supports various educational programs run by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, alternating between New York and Los Angeles. The series has featured Country Music Hall of Famers Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris as hosts, with Vince Gill co-hosting with Keith Urban in Nashville.",
