Lainey Wilson wore a black leather outfit and a black cowboy hat in YouTube's suite and watched yesterday's (2/9) Super Bowl game. She posted a few slides on her Insta Stories, sharing a few moments of the big game.

In one slide, she is hugging Shaboozey with the famous field in the background. She also thanked YouTube Music for the tickets.

The second slide is a video clip of her chanting along with the crowd, "U.S.A, U.S.A," as the American flag is spread on the field at the beginning of the big game. She wrote on the slide, "Loved being back in NOLA (heart emoji)."

Lainey was born and raised in Louisiana in a small town of about 300 people called Baskin. Baskin is about 240 miles away from New Orleans.

Wilson did her share of media before she walked the GRAMMY red carpet earlier this month (February). She chatted with CBS, telling them that she asked for a prayer for her performance of "Let The Good Times Roll" (which she nailed) in the show's Quincy Jones tribute segment.

She said that a friend asked her, "I'm saying my prayers, is there a prayer I could say for you?" Her response was, "Yeah, make sure that you pray that I don't mess this thing up."

She also shared a couple of songs that are on her GRAMMYs get-ready playlist, saying, "I've been cranking up a bunch of Myles Smith. 'Nice To Meet You,' I love that song. And 'Let The Good Times Roll,' Ray Charles."

The country star also shared, "The first person I called when I found out I was nominated, I think was my Mama, she's been my biggest fan from the beginning. She believed that I could do this when… we just really didn't even know that it was an option."

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
