Lainey Wilson on Her Acting Career
Wilson isn’t new to acting. She made her on-screen debut in 2022 as country singer Abby on Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western drama Yellowstone. Her documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool, is also set to premiere on Netflix this April.
In a red-carpet interview during the recently concluded 68th GRAMMY Awards, Wilson said of her acting career, “The truth is, you know, I never in a million years thought I was going to be doing acting. I’ve always just loved telling a story, and no matter what, my music is number one. But if all these other opportunities are showing up, I’d sure hate to close the door on them.”
Starring Role in a ‘Yellowstone’ Spinoff?
When asked if she was willing to reprise her role as Abby, the singer-songwriter shared, “You know what? I told Taylor Sheridan, I was like, ‘Holler at me.’ I mean, who knows? We’ll see. Fingers crossed… I don’t got any secrets. I’ll call Taylor after tonight, and I’ll get some, though. So, next time I see ya…”
She’s also landed a role in the upcoming romantic drama Reminders of Him, based on Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name. Wilson admitted that the role has been fun for her: “This is the first role I got to play where I was not playing a musician. Which felt good, you know, I kind of wanted to step outside of that box and try it, and we did it. I can’t wait to do it again.”
