00:00Ladies and gentlemen, on the phone right now is one of our favorite people.
00:02She's a very important person as well, and she has played our QYK guitar pole before.
00:08You have seen her on Yellowstone.
00:11She is the reigning entertainer of the year.
00:15She has a new album out called World Wind.
00:16Ladies and gentlemen, it is Lainey Wilson.
00:19Lainey Wilson!
00:21Man, what an intro.
00:23What an intro.
00:24Well, we kind of kept going and going.
00:25We really kept.
00:27You got so much going on, girl.
00:28Can you slow down a little bit because we can't keep up with all your accomplishments?
00:33I can't keep up either.
00:34It is crazy.
00:35It is like, it's hard for me to wrap my head around, and it's been a whirlwind.
00:40Well, here we go.
00:41Nice tie-in.
00:42You're a pro.
00:43You're an absolute pro tying that in, World Wind.
00:45I love it.
00:48Oh, my gosh.
00:49Well, the truth is, that is what my life has been the last two years since we put out Bell
00:53Bottom Country.
00:54And what I'm realizing is, like, yes, we named the record that because of the past two years.
01:00But I think it might create more of one.
01:03Well, I think it's going to, too.
01:04I mean, because you seem to just be absolutely on fire.
01:07I mean, everything you touch seems to turn to gold.
01:10Yes.
01:10And it's a really cool thing because you're someone that we definitely root for because
01:15you're just a genuine, good person.
01:17So, I'm really happy for you and that things are falling into place.
01:21Thank you for that.
01:22Absolutely.
01:23You can't see my other side.
01:24You'll see my other side one day.
01:26Wow.
01:26No, we won't.
01:28I don't think we ever will.
01:29Because, Lainey, you came into this studio, oh, my gosh, I don't know, five, seven.
01:34It was in 2019 is when I met you, Lana.
01:36Yeah, years ago.
01:37And we just sat down and her and I just talked and talked and talked and did this big interview
01:41with her.
01:42And, girl, you have not changed at all.
01:44You are the same.
01:45I mean, your personality and, you know, just the way that you are with everybody, all this
01:51fame, everything that's coming in your way, you have not changed a bit.
01:55Well, I have a lot of people in my life who remind me who I am and where I come from.
02:01And I think you've got to keep those people close.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Yeah.
02:04Hey, can we talk about your Hannah Montana moment that you had just not too long ago
02:09with Miley Cyrus sitting in front of you as you're doing it?
02:13I mean, you're singing a song, obviously, that she knows very, very well and a song that
02:17you know very, very well, being a Hannah Montana impersonator at one point in your life.
02:21But what was that like doing that in front of Miley?
02:24It was crazy.
02:26I mean, it's Miley Cyrus.
02:27And it just felt like a full circle moment.
02:30It did.
02:31But I was like, I never in a million years, if he would have told me in eighth grade when
02:35I was impersonating Hannah Montana, and I did it for five years, that one day I would
02:40be honoring Miley by singing Best of Both Worlds.
02:44It's nuts.
02:45Yeah, it's absolutely nuts.
02:47Oh, my gosh.
02:47So, you know, we know what you've been doing, the tour and the music and all this stuff.
02:53What do you do when you're not busy?
02:55Do you ever have a moment when you're not busy?
02:57And what do you choose to do?
02:59Oh, my goodness.
03:01Honestly, it's all the things that I grew up doing that I love to do, like riding horses
03:06and just being outside, riding around on the farm, four-wheeling, putting my feet in the
03:13dirt, having bonfires, golly, like all those things.
03:19That sounds fun.
03:20I want to hang out with Lady Wilson.
03:21I know.
03:22Forget this music thing.
03:23Come on.
03:23Let's just hang out.
03:25Load up.
03:26Load up.
03:27Here we go.
03:28I love it.
03:30So good.
03:31Let me ask you this.
03:32You know, everybody's been talking about Yellowstone, and we've read some articles that you may
03:38or may not be a part of it.
03:39Is this happening or what?
03:41It's happening.
03:42Let's go.
03:43Yeah.
03:44It's happening.
03:46They told me for at least a year to not say anything.
03:50They were like, you can't tell anybody.
03:52You can't tell anybody.
03:53And then, thankfully, a couple days ago, I think a list was the cast member sheet was like
04:00leaked.
04:00And I was like, finally, I can start talking about it.
04:03Yeah.
04:04Now, we're not going to say that you leaked that.
04:07Hey, maybe I did.
04:08That's what I'm saying.
04:09Yeah.
04:09If you want to talk about something, the best way to do it is just leak it yourself.
04:12That's right.
04:13I'm about to start leaking all kind of stuff.
04:15You know, obviously, you can't talk about what happens on the show.
04:19We're all waiting because, gosh, it's just going to be a couple of months now.
04:21Are you happy with the ending?
04:24Ooh.
04:25You know what?
04:25I don't know the ending.
04:27I don't even have my script.
04:28What?
04:28Oh, my gosh.
04:31You haven't filmed your parts?
04:33Nope.
04:33I have not filmed my parts.
04:35And I think it's coming up really soon.
04:36But it might have to be like a few days before I actually go in that I know what I'm doing.
04:41I kind of think that's smart, though.
04:43Yeah.
04:43I feel like you're going to get a real reaction out of you.
04:45And you're going to kind of be back in that role.
04:47And that might be easier for you as an actor.
04:49It's either going to be that or either it's just going to go terrible.
04:53No.
04:53No, lady.
04:54No.
04:55Let's go back to everything you touch is gold, baby.
04:57You're good to go.
04:58I promise.
04:59I can't believe she's on her lines or anything yet.
05:01Wow.
05:01That's true.
05:01She's going to get the script.
05:03Yeah.
05:04That's going to be awesome.
05:05Oh, girl.
05:07It's going to be awesome.
05:07I'm so excited for you.
05:08Yay.
05:09All right, lady.
05:10One last question for you.
05:11World Wind is the album.
05:13It is out right now.
05:14I always like to ask people this because sometimes people get lost in their favorite songs on the album.
05:18But what is your favorite song on the album or a song that people definitely need to pay attention to that they may not right away?
05:26For me, it's the last song on the record, and it's called Whiskey Color Crayon.
05:31And when I think of why I fell in love with country music, I think about that storytelling aspect of it.
05:37And it just takes you somewhere.
05:39And it tells a story about a little kindergarten boy who goes through a lot back at home and has an interaction with his teacher.
05:47And I'm from a family of teachers.
05:49So you've got to listen to it.
05:51It's definitely one that embodies country music.
05:55All right.
05:56Okay.
05:56Whiskey Color Crown.
05:58I love it.
05:58Check that out right there.
05:59Lady, we always appreciate you.
06:01We're always rooting for you.
06:02And I hope you have a great rest of your day.
06:04And whenever you want to leak some more information about Yellowstone or whatever, you go ahead and do that.
06:10All right.
06:10All right.
06:11Let's do it.
06:12See you, lady.
06:12Take care, girl.
06:13Bye, y'all.
