Lainey Wilson marked her acting debut in Yellowstone as she gushed about the changes the hit show brought into her life.
During an interview with Variety, the actress, who is also a hit country musician herself, said, "It’s crazy to see how the Taylor Sheridan ["Yellowstone" creator] world has really contributed to everything happening."
"It really did something for country music, and it did something for the Western culture in general. Growing up that way, and even putting my cowboy hat on now and putting my jeans on and being around horses or rodeo or whatever it is, I feel at home," she added.
Looking back at her stint at the hit series where she played Abby, a country singer in season five, Lainey said, "I just didn’t even realize how important it really was or how beneficial it was until a couple of my songs ended up on the show."
"Then people would come to shows, even if it was a handful of them. They’d be like, ‘I found you through ’Yellowstone.' And I’m like, ‘OK, these placements are doing something,’" she concluded.
