Lainey Wilson Reveals How Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire Were Involved in Her Decision to Join the ‘Yellowstone’ Cast
During an interview with Billboard in February, Lainey Wilson spoke about how she admires country music icons, Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire.
“When it comes to Dolly and Reba, I feel like they really do listen to their heart,” Wilson explained. “I feel like they’re not scared to go outside that box and do things that are a little scary.”
Also speaking about joining the cast of Yellowstone, Lainey Wilson shared she thought about Parton and McEntire before she decided to take on the role. “I had never acted a day in my life. But I thought to myself, ‘Dolly and Reba, they’ve always made sure that their music is No. 1, but that has laid the foundation for so many opportunities to come their way.’”
Wilson did admit that going into acting was a little scary for her. However, she pushed through her fears and decided to go for the role after thinking about what Parton and McEntire would do in the same situation. “If it’s a way for me to share more of my music with the world, even if it is a little scary, you’re dang right I’m going to do it,” she declared. “Because that’s what [Dolly and Reba] would do.”
Lainey Wilson plays local musician Abby in the hit western series. She first appeared on the show while performing at the Montana governor inauguration ceremony for John Dutton (played by Kevin Costner) during its Season 5 premiere.
