Lainey Wilson talks being in the company of 'one-name' musicians

Part of this whirlwind has been the accolades you've received in Nashville from the industry, from your peers, including these Entertainer of the year awards, two of them, the CMA and the ACM. And I'm looking down the list of your most recent one from last month at ACM of the Women Who wanted, and it's one Namers. It's Dolly, it's Reba, it's Loretta, it's Shania, it's Taylor, and now it's Laney. How do you process? Being in that company, that's a good company to be in. That's a real good company to be in. The only reason that. I'm where I'm at and given the opportunity to be even considered for that kind of award is because of what those ladies have done. And that's the God's honest truth. I mean, there's Trail Blazers there, you know, they like go back down those those trails and they keep whacking the weeds so people like me can come up and have this opportunity. And now I got to pay that forward because it's just been a constant trailblazing for us girls. I can sit here and talk about that all day long. But, but really like when I, when I think about Dolly and I think about Reba and I think about Loretta and I think about those ladies, I, I think about just, they had to be brave. They had to like step out in a way that maybe a lot of people don't really realize. And this job can get scary. This, I mean, especially now with social media and the Internet, you know, you got a lot of opinions and a lot of hateful people can come out of the woodworks. But then I think about them and I'm like, they did it. They, they weren't scared of nothing. And they're like, I'm not going to stop using my gift because somebody's got something negative to say about it. I'm going to use my gift because this is my gift to share. And I think back to that. That's what I've, you know, I'm proud to be a part of, of country music and I'm proud to be able to do the same thing that they have done for me.
