Lainey Wilson Feels ‘Responsible’ For Young Fans
Lainey Wilson feels responsible to be a light and a good influence to young kids, who are a good portion of her many fans whom she has amassed in the last few years being one of country music’s biggest stars.
When we interviewed Lainey recently, she told us how she feels about all those fans, and so many of them are young teens and kids.
Lainey Wilson Feels “Responsible”
Wilson said, “I will say I feel responsible. I do have a lot of little kids watching me. It’s important to me to make sure that I am making the right decisions.”
Not Locked In
She knows it isn’t always going to be perfect, though. She offered, “I’m not gonna get it right all the time, but I’m gonna try my best. At the end of the day, what I want those little kids to see or take away is like… I’m from Baskin, Louisianna, a hundred and eighty something people. You do not have to be locked into something forever. I’m maybe the second person to really leave Baskin.”

It Won’t Be Easy
Lainey added that it isn’t going to be easy to make those dreams come true like she did. She said, “I want them to see that you are allowed to dream big, but you’re not allowed just to dream. I mean, you have got to work really, really hard and somehow turn those nos into yeses and keep on going.”
She concluded, “Like I said, I know that I’m not always gonna get it right, but I do feel that responsibility, and I will try my best.”‘
Beautiful Friendship
In the same interview, Wilson and Jelly Roll told us about their friendship. Jelly said, “It seeped over to the family: my daughter loves her, and my wife loves her. I love Duck (her boyfriend, Devlin Hodges), and Duck loves me. I love her parents.”
A Moment In Country Music
He concluded, “I think that we have a moment that will remembered that way forever. I think they’ll be an era where we’ll always look back in country music and go, ‘That was kind of Jelly and Lainey’s year.'”
Lainey’s Thoughts
Lainey agreed, saying, “I knew before I officially met him that he was just my kind of people. What you see is what you get, and I love people like that.”
She added of recording “Save Me” with her friend, “I made a promise to myself that any song that I cut that I didn’t write, I needed to feel like I wrote it at least. I needed to feel like I had been through it or experienced it in some kind of way, or it was a story that just needed to be told, even if it wasn’t mine specifically. This one turned out that it was something that I could relate to one hundred and ninety percent.”
