Lainey Wilson Sees All The Little Girls In Bellbottoms
Since Lainey Wilson came onto the scene in Nashville and became a country music superstar, you see a lot of little girls running around in bellbottoms and cowboy hats emulating her distinctive style.
As Lainey told us recently, she sees all the little girls and takes her role in their lives very seriously. She offered, “I will tell you it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, first of all, but I do feel a big responsibility. I feel like all right. I’ve got a lot of little people watching me, so I think even just from an award show, I realize that sometimes what you say is almost as important as what you sing.”
She knows what she says makes a difference, “You know, I want to say something that means something. I know that whatever I say, they’re probably going home and doing the same things.”
She concluded, “I’m not perfect by any means. I’m human just like everybody else, but I feel the responsibility, and I’m gonna do my best to try to be able to lay my head down at night and be proud of who I am and what I’ve done.”

In June, Wilson was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. At the time she said that was one of the biggest honors of her life. She does have a bucket list, and while she’s checked many things off already. There are still a couple of things that Lainey wants to do.
Wilson told us of her bucket list, “We really have been checking them off left and right. I’ve been in Nashville for thirteen years and I started working on this way before then. When I was nine years old, I wrote my first songs, and when I came to the Grand Ole Opry for the first time. I remember exactly where I was sitting, and I remember who played; it was Jeannie Seeley, Bill Anderson, and Crystal Gayle, and I remember looking at that circle and thinking, ‘I’m gonna do that, I’m gonna stand up there.'”
She continued, “So I will tell you: out of all accolades that has happened this year and the year before that, this is the biggest honor of my life being to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry. It’s just a community of people I’ve dreamed of being a part of. I mean, these are the people who paved the way to do what we’re doing right now.”
Lainey added with a smile, “As for the bucket list, I’d like to do a little more acting, I guess. I’d love to do some voiceover work. I want to do it all. Why not?”
