If you saw Lainey Wilson's performance opening for Luke Combs at Gillette Stadium, you know she's a star. If you saw Lainey Wilson perform at a dive bar, you know she's a star. It's about time she earned star status by headlining an arena.  She is doing exactly that tonight (Friday, July 28). We are honored and excited that Lainey Wilson has sold out her first arena show and it's in  England, tonight!

This is the first time the reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the show has headlined an arena. Lainey Wilson has sold out her first arena show, and it's in New England. Tonight's show at Mohegan Sun is completely sold out. But I'm sure there are third party vendors that will take your money. At any rate, it's great to see this happening.

I can't wait until Wilson announces her first headlining tour in the Boston area. But, where could she play? If Lainey can sell out the nearly 9,518 seats at Mohegan Sun, she's going to need the right place. Leader Bank Pavilion is now too small for Lainey. MGM Grand only holds about 5,000 people. Fenway Park can hold over 35,000 that may be too big. Thoughts? Hey, how about the TD Garden with it's nearly 19,000 seat capacity?

Wilson's major label debut album came at a difficult time, right before the pandemic hit. Still, her songs and talent spoke for themselves, and her debut single went to #1. "Things A Man Oughta Know" topped the country radio charts in 2020. Two years later, she did it again with "Heart Like a Truck." Lainey is currently riding the wave on her new single, "Watermelon Moonshine." Success couldn't happen to a nicer or more appreciative person. Lainey's work ethic is also legendary. It seems everyone wants to work with her. Proof that good guys can finish first.

Not only is Ms. Wilson leading the country music world, but also creating quite a buzz with her boho fashion trend. Take a look at some Lainey favorites you can buy to get her look, HERE. 

Lainey Wilson has said that she has been in love with bell bottom pants since she was a young girl and that her mother used to have to make her take them off to get them washed. Now that Lainey is a country superstar, she has plenty of dough to buy multiple pairs of her favorite fashion, and she has done just that.

She even named her ACM Album of the Year winner (2023) Bell Bottom Country, sharing her love of the 1970s pants.

Wilson has worn different colors and styles of bell bottoms throughout the last few years. She has rocked bell bottoms on red carpets, on stage, at award shows, and really any place she goes. We gathered twelve photos of her in such places highlighting the many different bell bottoms in her fashion collection.
