Lainey Wilson has created something fun and new for her official fan club with special perks and fun for die-hard fans. She posted a video clip of herself and wild horses to announce the new club.

She wrote on Instagram, "We've been living life wide open out here in the fast lane for a while now..but ya know, good, wild horses know how to find their way back home. I love this community we've built over the years, fan by fan, show by show. My Wild Horses deserve a place to congregate and call home.. that's why I've created The Stable."

She continued, "Wild Horses will receive access to presale tickets, M&G raffles, exclusive content, contests, merch discounts, and more. And trust me... there's a lot more coming later this week. Y'all can become a member of my official fan club, the Wild Horses, by signing up at laineywilson.com.

Wilson is on the cover of the November/December issue of Cowgirl magazine and posted a photo of the cover story on her Instagram. While the article cannot be found online and can only be read when the physical magazine is purchased, the feature title is "The Unapologetic Voice Of A Country Cowgirl Renegade."

Cowgirl magazine's covers in the last year have included many rodeo stars, as well as Dolly Parton and Maddie & Tae, just to name a few.

Lainey posted to her almost two million followers, "I grew up a cowgirl, so this right here is a full circle moment for me. @cowgirlmagazine…thank y'all for asking me to be on the cover."

Many fans responded to her post, including one who said, "The ULTIMATE Cowgirl!" Another fan commented, "We actually saw her perform at the Grand Ole Opry a few days ago; she has an amazing voice." One more fan offered, "We Love Lainey!! You Are Killin' it!!"

As she celebrates her 31st birthday today (5/19), Lainey Wilson is the reigning Female Vocalist for the ACMs and the CMAs. She also won the ACM Album of the Year award for Bell Bottom Country, beating out albums by  Miranda Lambert and Luke Combs.

There is no doubt that Lainey is well on her way to becoming a country music superstar. She currently opens stadium shows for Luke Combs and gets a performance slot at the 2023 CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in June in front of 65,000 fans worldwide.

As she celebrates her big day today (5/19), we count down what we believe are her six very best songs to date, with many more to come in the future.

6 - "Watermelon Moonshine" (2023)

The chorus of this fun song includes the lyrics, "Drinkin' watermelon moonshine / We cut the burn with a little lime / Parkin' back in them kudzu vines / I was his and every bit of that boy was mine / Too young to know what love was / But we were learnin' on a sweet buzz / There's never nothin' like the first time / And mine's always gonna taste like / Watermelon moonshine."


5 - "Never Say Never" (Cole Swindell with Lainey Wilson) (2021)

A fun song that Lainey performed at the 58th ACM Awards, where she won Album of the Year for "Bell Bottom Country." Wilson released a dancing video for the song, finding country breakdancers that she saw at one of her shows and tracked them down to appear in the video.

She said of the video at the time, "For the music video, we wanted to create a piece of art where people could watch it and feel something all over again." The song won the ACM 2021 Song of the Year.


2 - "Heart Like a Truck" (2022)

Lainey said of the song when it came out, "It's a song about finding freedom and strength. Not being afraid of the scars and the bruises and the bumps along the way. That makes you who you are. It builds character." It recently became her third number-one song on the Billboard charts.


1 - "Wait in the Truck" (HARDY with Lainey Wilson) (2022)

So many things to say about this amazing song. It just recently won Visual Media (video) of the Year and Music Event of the Year at the 58th ACM Awards. The music video is epic of the song labeled as a "murder ballad" about a male protagonist killing an abuser. Lainey and HARDY performed the song at the 2022 CMA Awards.
