00:08Entertainer of the Year, Miss Laini Wilson.
00:09How are you?
00:10I am good.
00:11Excited to be here.
00:12Sorry, as you started talking, then I looked at your hand and I was like, oh, ring.
00:16Hello.
00:17I know.
00:18Every now and then I look down and then I'm like, oh, I'm engaged.
00:20This man.
00:21He did it all on his own.
00:22Did you tell him what you kind of wanted?
00:24Well, as a joke, years ago, like when we first started dating because we were both like pretty
00:28sure in the beginning, I sent him just a bunch of like big old rings kind of messing
00:33with him and he combined them.
00:35Congratulations.
00:36I'm so happy for you.
00:37We were talking about this a little bit at the airport because we rode up here together,
00:41but you were saying you haven't like totally got into planning.
00:44We haven't.
00:45Yeah.
00:46But like slowly starting to.
00:47Do you think you want something big, something small?
00:48I think it's going to be small.
00:50I think we have talked about this much.
00:53This is as much planning as we have done.
00:54We have said everything else is a big old to do.
00:58We just want this to be about what it's supposed to be about and have our friends and family
01:02there and just really enjoy that moment.
01:06Yeah.
01:07You know, is there anything that like, you know, every girl dreams about her wedding,
01:11but like, is there anything that you're like, I definitely want to do this or you guys have
01:13already agreed like we're not doing I mean, the Macarena, we're not like what is the depends
01:17on how much we have to drink.
01:18We'll see.
01:19I mean, I definitely probably will have like a jazz band from New Orleans, something like
01:26that.
01:28We'll definitely probably ride off on horses or ride in on a horse or ride in on a horse,
01:34maybe in on a carriage off on a horse.
01:36I like this.
01:37Is it been weird saying fiance whenever you're talking about duck?
01:40Yeah.
01:41Is it got you up a couple of times?
01:42I did say boyfriend earlier.

01:58just like, I love you.
01:59I love you, too.
02:00And that was really kind of it.
02:01So I cannot believe I'm getting to sit on the stage.
02:04I know.
02:05And I don't think she's ever played a guitar pole like this before.
02:07So I am so excited to house down.
02:10She is.
02:11But I also feel like you guys are gonna get to know each other.
02:12I know.
02:13So fun.
02:14Do you know Blake?
02:15Well, have you spent much time with him?
02:16I've only also like spent probably like 15 minutes with him.
02:18I was playing a show with him out in Colorado.
02:21And he invited me up on the bus and it did feel like I had known him forever.
02:25Really?
02:26Yeah.
02:27I was like, yeah.
02:28He's so sweet.
02:29He's so fun.
02:30He's a good dude.

02:32Do you have any plans made or are you like, let's just get there and figure it out?
02:35Girl, I'm getting old.
02:36I'm getting old.
02:37You're not getting old.
02:38No, honestly, my 30s have been a lot better than my 20s.
02:40Isn't that so true?
02:42Everyone says that.
02:43They're like, you turn 30 and everything changes.
02:44And you're like, what?
02:45Goodbye.
02:46It's so true.
02:47You just stop giving a damn.
02:48It really is wild.
02:49Do you feel like that?
02:51I do.
02:52You feel like you're better.
02:53I feel better in my own skin.
02:54I do.
02:55I feel like I've just found myself like a little bit more.
02:57And yeah, I feel like I'm kind of like stepping into it.
03:00Yeah, for sure.
03:01Oh, my gosh.
03:02Well, we're so excited to have you.
03:03Congratulations on the recent ACM nominations.
03:06Were you excited about that?
03:07Oh, my gosh.
03:08Girl.
03:09I don't think that will ever get old.
03:10I know that they're not going to always be calling my name like forever, you know?
03:15So I soak up those moments.
03:18I really do.
03:19I have to.
