Lainey Wilson on Following Her Dreams

Grammy-award-winning and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson has taken the music industry by storm with hits like “Heart Like a Truck” and “Watermelon Moonshine”, solidifying her status as a next-generation icon. Lainey has broken records and reached new milestones, all without compromising her voice. And while it may seem like Lainey is an overnight sensation, she’ll be the first to tell you that her success took time – she faced years of rejection and heartbreak before making it big, but she never gave up on her dreams. Lainey joined Hoda Kotb on Making Space earlier this summer, reflecting on her career, her music and her love of storytelling, marking a milestone as Hoda’s 50th guest. To celebrate the release of Lainey’s new album “Whirlwind”, Hoda is revisiting this very special conversation.
