Lainey Wilson has spent her whole life immersed in country music. But there she was making her acting debut on last night’s “Yellowstone”. And it looks like she may have a future there too. That’s according to Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton on the show. When Lainey toldher she was brand new to the acting thing, Kelly said it looked like she had been “doing it forever.” It was the exactly what Lainey needed to hear. “I took that as a compliment. She’s one of the best actresses in the entire world. That really gave me that extra boost of confidence. “I’m stepping outside of my comfort zone, but what’s the point in doing all this if I’m not pushing the limits? If I’m not doing things that are a little bit uncomfortable, I wouldn’t be growing anymore.” While we’re on the subject: “CMT Campfire Sessions” released video of Lainey performing “Hold My Halo”.
Riley Green is opening on Luke Combs’ 2023 World Tour, which will be good for his career, and his love life.
