Lainey Wilson: “I Felt Like A Complete Outsider Moving To Nashville To Chase My Dreams” | Guy Raz

Lainey Wilson, a rising country music icon, reflects on her early years in Nashville where she lived in a camper trailer, facing the challenges of being an outsider. Despite countless obstacles, including the tragic loss of her mentor, Lainey wrote an astounding 4,000 songs during these early years, forging her resilience and dedication to her craft.

Lainey sits down to discuss her formative years in Nashville – from the unique experience of living in a camper, the deep sense of loneliness she felt, to the sheer determination that prevented her from giving up even when all odds seemed against her.

📖 About Lainey Wilson:

Lainey Wilson burst onto the country music scene in 2022 with her album Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’. That year, she won Female Vocalist of the Year and Best New Artist at the CMAs. But for seven years before that, she struggled to make it in the high-pressure Nashville music scene. And before *that*, she was a kid from a tiny town in rural Louisiana with a dream of being a country star. She joins Guy to talk about how she handled the hard times, what she’s learned about the art of collaboration during the making of two acclaimed albums, and what defines her unique style, which she calls Bell Bottom Country.
