A biography for Lainey Wilsonhasn’t been written yet.
“All I've ever wanted to do is sing country music and tell stories that people connect to.”
“At the end of the day, in order for me to be able to tell the kind of stories that I'm supposed to tell and relate to my fans, I got to keep living as normal of a life as I possibly can.”
“There's been a lot of moments that should have taken me out. But I'm always able to pull myself up by my bootstraps.”
“I say I feel more comfortable on stage and I feel more comfortable on the back of a horse than I do just walking around in daily life.”
“There are so many small moments along this crazy journey that have helped build my story, which is why I love to savor them, and Stella Rosa makes them that much sweeter.”
“In high school my job was impersonating Hannah Montana. I would do four or five birthday parties a weekend. Sometimes I would open up as Lainey Wilson and then I'd run backstage and change into my Hannah Montana wig and do my 15-song karaoke show.”
“The truth is, I think, when I got to Nashville in 2011 in my little camper trailer, I had not lived enough life at that point to tell the kind of stories that I think I was supposed to tell, you know, so I could connect with the people that I am connecting with.”
“I've always been in love with things that are throwbacks, whether it's music or stories.”
“Whether I'm at home or on the road, I'm always dreaming up new ways to express myself through more than just my music.”
“If I'm leading the pack or whatever, I hope people will stay true to themselves. Stay true to their sound. Stay true to their look.”
“I'm all about collaborating.”
“When it comes to Dolly and Reba, I feel like they really do listen to their heart. I feel like they're not scared to go outside that box and do things that are a little scary.”
“My parents were encouraging me to write music at 9 years old, or they were encouraging me to pick and play my guitar and encouraging me to move to Nashville.”
“I grew up riding horses.”
“I love jalapeno poppers, the jalapenos with the cream cheese and wrapped in bacon.”
“When I moved to Nashville, I've made a decision to not see my family on their birthdays and Christmases, and this and that and the other.”
“I mean, on my mom's side and my daddy's side. They rolled their sleeves up. They got to work every single day and had good years and bad years, but at the end of the day, they loved it.”
“I think my family's going to freak out when they see me on a commercial during the Super Bowl.”
“I became friends with people from Canada and Oregon and the East Coast and the West Coast. Everybody loved country music just as much as I love country music. They just didn't talk like me.”
“It just takes so many different kinds of people to make the world go round.”
