What gift did Brad Paisley request for his 53rd birthday?
The country star celebrated his 53rd trip around the sun on Tuesday, Oct. 28, and his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley took to Instagram a few days later to share the odd gift he wanted — and received.
The Father of the Bride actress, 54, opened her Instagram post with a photo of herself in a cold plunge alongside the text, “what she asked for her birthday.”
A second photo in the post showed an 8-foot dragon statue priced at $199.98 alongside the text, “what he asked for his.”
In the post’s caption, Kimberly wrote, “Happy birthday to the guy who somehow made the @dodgers play 18 innings last night!”
“Love you @bradpaisley,” she continued. “The dragon is waiting for you back home.”

Kimberly’s caption referred to Brad’s performance at World Series Game 3 on Monday, Oct. 27, which saw the Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium.
His performance marked his fourth National Anthem performance ahead of a World Series game — and the fourth time his performance preceded a surprisingly long game.
Brad previously performed at World Series Game 2 in 2017, which lasted 11 innings; World Series Game 3 in 2018, which lasted 18 innings; World Series Game 1 in 2024, which lasted 10 innings; and Monday evening’s game, which lasted 18 innings, per MLB’s official X account.
Following Brad’s latest World Series performance, Kimberly joked in an Instagram comment, “Is it your fault it went 18 innings again? Nice of the @dodgers to win for your birthday!”
The married couple met in 2001, when Brad asked Kimberly to star in his music video for the song “I’m Gonna Miss Her” — long after watching her play Annie Banks in the 1991 film Father of the Bride.
They got engaged in 2002, married the following year and now share two sons: William “Huck” Huckleberry and Jasper Warren.
