Lainey Wilson has made waves both as a country star and for standing up against body-shamers.
In December 2022, a video of Wilson performing in a pair of leopard print bell-bottom pants went viral on TikTok. “Didn’t want to be a gatekeeper of my Lainey view,” a user captioned the post, which featured the singer facing opposite of the camera.
As the video continued to garner reactions online, Wilson addressed it in an Instagram video of her own that same month. “I can’t even scroll on TikTok, on my For You page, without seeing my fat butt on everything. It says #trend. Whatever brings the people in,” she said in her post.
She went on to encourage fans who discovered her through the video to “go check out my record, Bell Bottom Country,” adding, “However you found me, I’m happy. I’m happy you’re here.”
Wilson also poked fun at the title of her third album, telling fans, “And y’all see what I did with ‘bell bottom country’ … see what I did? We didn’t even plan that, but you know what? The Lord has a way of working things out.”
