God, rejection, and hardheadedness are the keys to Lainey Wilson's success.
Hulu premieres 'Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country' on May 29.
Lainey Wilson's 13-year career in country music has been marked by difficulties.
In an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital, Lainey Wilson, who will star in the Hulu special "Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country," talked about how she coped with rejection and heartache early in her career.
""I am determined to achieve my goal despite the rejection I faced. I am stubborn and my parents have always been that way," Wilson said."
Over a decade ago, the "Yellowstone" actress left her small Louisiana town with a population of around 200 people and relocated to Nashville in pursuit of her dream of becoming a successful country music artist. Recently, in February, Wilson received her first Grammy award.
Wilson told Planet Chronicle Digital that he didn't know what the outcome would be, but he believes that the rejection and the time it took to reach this point, which will be 13 years in Nashville, have played a significant role in his journey.
I believe it's simply a part of my journey. And I believe the Lord intended for me to experience more life so that I could accumulate more experiences to share, enabling me to connect with more individuals. When we take a step back and consider the bigger picture, it's crucial to reflect on the purpose and significance of our actions.
"Because we all desire to experience emotions, and due to rejection, individuals can connect with my narratives."
In her Hulu special trailer, Wilson admits to feeling like an outsider and being "too country for country." She reveals that as a child, she believed everyone she met would share her accent.
As a young girl, you dream of relocating to Country Music City and believe that everyone there will speak like you. However, Wilson explains that Nashville is a diverse city, and it's not necessary to be from the same background to appreciate and live country music.
"I made friends with individuals from Canada, Oregon, the East Coast, and the West Coast. We all shared a love for country music, but our accents were different from mine."
In 2011, when Lainey arrived in Nashville, she felt that she was "too country for country."
"Just like fashion, trends come and go. At that time, I didn't think my actions were in style, but I'm glad I waited," Wilson said.
Last week, Wilson was recognized as entertainer of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards. She invited her mother, Michelle Wilson, to the show in Frisco, Texas, on May 16.
Wilson, during her interview with Planet Chronicle Digital, stated that her determination stems from her background as a fifth-generation farmer's daughter and the lessons her parents instilled in her to never abandon her aspirations.
"Yes, my parents are the ones to blame for all of this," Wilson joked. "They have truly supported me from the beginning."

Lainey believes that her success can be traced back a few generations beyond her parents' influence.
According to Wilson, his love for farming comes from his family's long history of farming. On both his mother's and father's sides, they worked hard every day and had their share of good and bad years. Despite the challenges, they remained passionate about their work and loved it in the end.
"They had no other choice but to get up and do it again, falling down and repeating the process. My daddy always reminds me that he works hard not just for himself, but for me, my sister, our mother, my sister's children, and one day, my own children."
When work becomes challenging, Wilson emphasizes the importance of remembering that it's simply part of life.
When you remove yourself from the situation, it relieves some pressure and makes working hard more manageable, she explained.
"Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country" debuts on Hulu May 29.
