She chose that song because when she performs it, she notices everyone in the crowd loves it and sings along to every word. “ Watermelon Moonshine” the song she played on Yellowstone is her new single. She has no interest in going back to watch her speech because she can’t take back what happened, so she doesn’t see the point. Every time she accepted an award that night, she blacked out and doesn’t remember anything she said, and still doesn’t. She thought if she won something she should have some bullet points because you’re only given about 30 seconds to change someone's life with what you say. She feels like millions of people are watching just hoping for her to mess up on live TV.īefore those big performances and speeches, Wilson gets tunnel vision. She has been getting a lot of positive attention at award shows in the last year, but they are still scary to her she admits. When the performance was over, she thought she killed it, but she is also her biggest critic, so she started to second guess herself, until she saw the standing ovation she received. It fell off and she had to hold it the whole time, so she wasn’t able to do the cool microphone stand tricks she had planned. She ditched her signature hat and danced around the stage so much that it caused her to have a malfunction with her microphone clip.

The first, her new song with Jelly Roll called “ Save Me,” that lead into her solo performance of “ Grease.” Her solo performance was a side of Wilson we hadn’t seen before that she said she was happy to show. She also gave two explosive back-to-back performances.

At the 58th ACM Awards, she was crowned the New Female Artist of The Year, and also won Album of The Year, Musical Event and Video of The Year. To say Wilson is having a monumental year might be an understatement. Lainey Wilson stopped by The Bobby Bones Show to talk about her big night at the ACM Awards, share details on her upcoming collaboration with Dolly Parton, and reveal the major malfunction she had during her award show performance.
