Lainey Wilson’s Shoe Style Over The Years: Red Prada Heels, Sky-High Platforms & More
Lainey Wilson rose to fame after her single, “Working Overtime” was featured on Paramount’s “Yellowstone” in 2019. Since then, the singer has achieved widespread popularity in the music industry. She has gone on to open for country stars like Morgan Wallen, headline her first tour, and receive several awards, including a Grammy for Best Country Album for her 2022 album, “Bell Bottom Country.” Wilson will continue her successful streak with a performance at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards next week.
