Lainey Wilson, a country music star, discusses how the rising popularity of authenticity in cowboy culture has benefited her career. She credits her role on the Western TV show 'Yellowstone' for boosting her popularity and connecting with fans who crave genuine experiences.
Since day one, Lainey Wilson has always been true to her roots. After nearly 14 years in the entertainment industry, the country music star has noticed that people are now craving 'authenticity' when it comes to cowboy culture – and she's here for it.
In a new interview, the 32-year-old singer-songwriter opened up about fully embracing this new wave of country music, explained how she's been able to stay true to herself amid rising stardom, and shared how her role on the Western TV hit show, 'Yellowstone,' has changed her life and her career. 'It’s crazy to see how the Taylor Sheridan world has really contributed to everything happening,' she told Variety. 'It really did something for country music, and it did something for the Western culture in general. Growing up that way, and even putting my cowboy hat on now and putting my jeans on and being around horses or rodeo or whatever it is, I feel at home.' People are so sick of things that make them feel anything other than at home,' she added. 'People are craving that authenticity. I think they’re just over the bulls---.' Wilson, who made her acting debut portraying Abby, a country singer, in season five of 'Yellowstone,' said she's come a long way since first appearing on the Kevin Costner-led Western. 'I just didn’t even realize how important it really was or how beneficial it was until a couple of my songs ended up on the show,' she noted. 'Then people would come to shows, even if it was a handful of them. They’d be like, ‘I found you through ’Yellowstone.' And I’m like, ‘OK, these placements are doing something.’' On landing her role, Wilson said she and Sheridan bonded over a common interest and that eventually sparked a friendship. 'Long story short, Taylor Sheridan and I just became friends,' she said. 'We met at a horse-reining competition that he does out in Vegas, and we really bonded over horses
