Lainey Wilson on Patience, Perseverance, and Finding Her Voice (July 2024)

Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson is one of country music’s biggest breakout stars, with chart-topping hits like “Heart Like a Truck,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and this year’s Grammy-nominated “Somewhere Over Laredo.” But long before the awards and sold-out shows, Wilson spent years knocking on doors in Nashville, facing rejection, uncertainty, and moments that tested her belief in herself, all while staying true to her voice and her storytelling roots. In this conversation from July 2024, Wilson sits down with Hoda to reflect on her long road to success, the power of patience, and what it really takes to keep going when the dream feels far away.
