Six 2022 Nominations including, Female Vocalist, New Artist, Single, Song, Musical Event and Album of the Year.
When Catherine and I interviewed Lainey Wilson about this time last year, we just loved her instantly. Since then she has scored three number one songs and has an acting role in ‘Yellowstone’. Love seeing her soar. But Lainey Wilson says she almost had to quit ‘Yellowstone’.
She tells People magazine that she almost quit because of her father’s health. She was in the middle of filming when he was in the ICU in Houston fighting for his life. She goes on to say the doctors told the family he would most likely not pull through. Fortunately he did make it just fine!
Lainey says her dad’s words were “I don’t care if it was my funeral, if you got a job that needs to be done then go do it and don’t come back til its done”. With those words she says she indeed indeed get the job done as the adorable and talented “Abbey”. To learn more get details right here from People magazine.
