Even granny likes to rock.

Rock the Country is in full swing, kicking off earlier this month in Bellevue, Texas.

The massive festival tour features a jam-packed rotating lineup including Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Jelly Roll, Brooks & Dunn, Riley Green, Ella Langley, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Treaty Oak Revival, Shenandoah, Josh Turner, Ian Munsick, Gavin Adcock, and a ton more.

While everybody seemed to have a great time, it looks like there was one fan who had more fun than anybody during the first festival – and she happens to be nearly 100 years old.

If you’re on TikTok, you might have come across videos from Ross Smith and his beloved grandma, whose real name is Paulina Kana. The “Gangster Granny” as she’s known has become a certified star, and has gone viral in the past for stunts like their hilarious pranks and trick shots.

Granny was even at the recent NASCAR race at Talladega where she was a favorite among the drivers:

At Rock the Country though, Granny kicked things up a notch and set a world record in the process.

During his performance, Brantley Gilbert welcomed Granny to the stage and announced to the crowd that they were about to be part of the world record for the oldest person to ever crowd surf.

Yes, you read that right: The 99-year-old Granny went crowd surfing.

Granny clearly enjoyed her experience, and afterwards she showed off her certificate from the Guiness Book of World Records as the official record holder.

You never know what’s going to happen at Rock the Country.

In fact, during that same festival, another special moment happened during Kid Rock’s headlining set when a couple got engaged right on the stage alongside the rock star.
