Although knowing the legacy surrounding the song, Wilson appeared to have fun when the song started to play. Captured by American Songwriter’s own Cindy Watts, Wilson worked the crowd, getting many of them to perform the song alongside her. With the crowd singing along and Wilson all smiles, the Decades Party seemed like a giant karaoke event.

Later on in the evening, Wilson linked with her good friend and country superstar Jelly Roll, along with Alexandra Kay, to cover Garth Brooks’ “Friends In Low Places.”

Lainey Wilson Ready To Get “Bored”

Having found her footing in country music, Wilson refused to waste time as she consistently released songs and toured the country. While loving every minute, the singer admitted to getting some sound advice from Miranda Lambert. “She was like, ‘It’s so important for me to get out there and scoop the poop and throw the hay and catch the horses. Those are the things that remind you what’s really important.’”

Wanting Wilson to pace herself, the singer agreed, admitting she needed to get “Bored.” But at the same time, Wilson is always looking for the next hit. “The truth is I can always fight for creativity. I’ve been able to write with such incredible writers [who] taught me how to put myself into the shoes of whatever we’re writing.”

Learning the craft of songwriting from some of the best names in country music, Wilson soaked in their knowledge and released hit songs like “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” and “Heart Like A Truck.”
