'I'm here to make a splash.'
The Baskin, Louisiana, native and her meteoric rise to fame is the subject of a new ABC News Studios special, "Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country," streaming now on Hulu.The country music artist who was once told she's "too country for country" has been sweeping the awards -- including her first Grammy win in 2023 as well as entertainer of the year wins at both the CMA Awards and ACM Awards.
"I have my days, just like everybody else, where you got to do whatever you can to crawl out of those dark holes," she said. "They'd laugh about it and they'd move on with it. That's just part of it," she noted. "And, of course, don't go down the rabbit hole of looking at comments … I've learned my lesson with that."
Years later, series creator Taylor Sheridan called wanting Wilson to join the show. Come season 5, she was playing Abby, a country singer who becomes a romantic interest for Ian Bohen's character Ryan.
