00:00I am so excited to announce this woman on our guitar pole.
00:03Ladies and gentlemen, she's from Baskin, Louisiana.
00:05There is a population 300 there, by the way.
00:08She is a daughter of a farmer, a daughter of a school teacher in high school.
00:12One of her jobs was a Hannah Montana impersonator.
00:15What?
00:15She is the reigning ACM New Female of the Year.
00:18Ladies and gentlemen, the sixth artist for your QYK guitar pole,
00:23her name is Lainey Wilson.
00:24Lainey!
00:24Say we want both of you
00:28Baby, come on
00:30I'll never say never with you
00:32No, no, no, no, no
00:36Yeah, I know a boy
00:38Who gave up and got it wrong
00:42If you really love a woman, you don't let her go
00:46Yeah, I know a few things a man ought to know
00:52That's an incredible intro.
00:54I need to hear that every day.
00:55All right, we're going to start over.
00:56No, I'm just kidding.
00:57By the way, let me just add that she also is going to be on Yellowstone.
01:01Yeah!
01:02Come on!
01:03Can you believe that?
01:04I'm so pumped.
01:06I mean, this is something definitely brand new to me,
01:08but, you know, I've made a promise to myself
01:11that if a door opens, I'm going to run through it.
01:12So that's what this is.
01:14I will tell you this, Lainey.
01:14You said, can you believe it?
01:15I 100% can.
01:16I really can, because I feel like you definitely fit the role
01:19and the fact that your music's been on there already,
01:23that people are going to be able to see you.
01:24I feel like this is your vibe all day long.
01:27And I'm going to be honest with you,
01:29people are talking about how good of an actress you are.
01:31Well, I mean, I've been acting a fool my whole life.
01:34I just figured out.
01:35In front of the cameras, no.
01:38I'll tell you, I've really learned how to enjoy it,
01:40and I'm getting to learn from the best there is.
01:43I mean, Kelly Riley, who plays Beth,
01:44and she's become a dear friend of mine now, too.
01:47But they truly are just incredible, and good people, too.
01:51So they've made it easy for me just to, you know,
01:54be able to go and be myself and give it my best shot.
01:57Now, how do you concentrate with Rip Wheeler
02:00just standing right there next to you?
02:02And, I mean, how?
02:04You just don't.
02:05You're just like, well, I'm just going to have to get through it.
02:08They are all just as beautiful in person, too.
02:11I'll just go ahead and say that.
02:13Well, you talked about Kelly Riley, who plays Beth on the show,
02:16and she's so intimidating on the show.
02:18What is she like off camera?
02:20Does she just turn it off, and she's like the super nice person?
02:22She is extremely nice.
02:24Like, she even made me these bath salts,
02:26and she was like, oh, my, you know, she's British.
02:29Yes, she's British.
02:30She's like, oh, my gosh, Lainey, I love your music.
02:31I was hoping that, you know, we could be friends and all this,
02:35and blah, blah, blah.
02:35And I'm like, what in the world is life?
02:37This is pretty dang cool.
02:39We're so excited for you.
02:40I mean, what was it, Lainey, three years ago, four years ago,
02:44came Watson in our studio, and we were just talking, doing an interview,
02:47and you're, like, just getting started.
02:49And look at you now.
02:50This is so amazing.
02:52I'm so excited.
02:53It's crazy.
02:54Yeah, that was fall of 2019,
02:55and this year I have been in Nashville for, whew, 11 years.
03:01So I've been there a long time,
03:03but I feel like we're really just getting started,
03:05and, you know, I think timing is everything, and I'm feeling good.
03:08Well, and that's great advice, you know, for people that are, you know,
03:11trying to start a career or do something.
03:13You know, it doesn't happen overnight.
03:15Girl, you have given it 10 years every single day,
03:18pushing, pushing, pushing, and look, it's finally paid off,
03:21but sometimes you just got to be patient.
03:23You're right, and I don't know how to do anything else.
03:26So I was like, no plan B for me.
03:28Plan A has to work.
03:29Yeah.
03:30Well, you know, and also,
03:31and I don't know if you have heard this before, too,
03:33but a lot of times in show business, they say good things come in threes.
03:36So you got your ACM win, then you got your number one with Cole,
03:39and now you got this Yellowstone opportunity.
03:41I mean, it seems like these are just lining up for you,
03:43and I couldn't be happier for someone like yourself,
03:46because I think it's very authentic.
03:47You come from a very authentic place.
03:49Thank you very much.
03:50I appreciate that.
03:51Yeah, I have a hard time being anything but myself.
03:53So I'm so glad that, you know,
03:55I've been able to be myself throughout this entire process,
03:58because it'd be a lot harder if I couldn't be.
04:00Well, I'm just glad you're a good person,
04:01because if you weren't,
04:02and then you had to pretend to be someone else,
04:04where you just were yourself and you were a jerk,
04:05this would be horrible, right?
04:07You're right.
04:09Talking to Lainey Wilson right now,
04:10our six QYK guitar pole artists,
04:13very excited.
04:14So make sure you bring your script.
04:15We can run lines.
04:16I got your vac number.
04:17I can play Rip.
04:18It's not a big deal.
04:19We'll figure it out.
04:20You know, you should invite, you know,
04:21Rip or, you know, Casey or, you know.
04:23None of her friends have asked me that one.
04:25If they want to come out to the guitar pole,
04:26we can get them some good seats, too.
04:28Hey, I'll let them know.
04:30Yeah, we'll let them know.
04:32Costner might be hard to get in,
04:33but it's all good.
04:34Right.
04:34All right, now, before you go,
04:35I just got one more question for you.
04:37Can you dance?
04:37I mean, I think I can.
04:39Like, can you two-step and all that?
04:41Yeah, I can two-step.
04:42All right, we got a triple threat,
04:43ladies and gentlemen.
04:44Act, sing, dance.
04:45Lainey Wilson!
04:48Come on.
04:49That was my roundabout way
04:50of trying to give you a compliment.
04:52I love it.
04:53Lainey Wilson,
04:54going to be at the QYK guitar pole
04:55November 6th.
04:57We cannot wait to see you.
04:57Congrats on everything.
04:59All right.
04:59We'll see y'all soon.
