CMA Award-winner Lainey Wilson shares powerful message for young girls

Lainey Wilson has a powerful message for all the young girls who were watching her at the Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday night."For all you little girls watching and for the ones that are here tonight too, it's something that I'm doing, I'm getting up every single day and I'm looking at myself in the mirror and saying, 'I am beautiful. I am smart. I'm godly. I'm fearless.' If somebody tells me I can't do it, hold my beer.

"It's something that I haven't always done but it's something that I'm doing now," the CMA Award-winner said. "It's getting up every day and looking at myself in the mirror and saying, 'I am beautiful. I am smart. I am fearless. I'm always doing all the things that I want to be.' And I tell myself, like, 'You got this.'"

Lainey Wilson poses in the press room during the 57th Annual CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 8, 2023 in Nashville, Tenn.Wilson also said she would tell her 9-year-old self -- she said she received her first pair of bell-bottoms and first visited Nashville at that age -- that her country music dreams are valid and achievable and nothing to shy away from.

"I would say the feeling that you're feeling and the dreams that you envision, it's going to happen," she told Spencer. "I would say, 'Trust yourself, trust your gut, trust the Lord. Stay true to yourself. It's going to be some hard and dark days, but at the end of the day, it's what you love. And if it's in your heart and soul, you just get up and you just do it anyway.

"I've been here twelve and a half years, and I started working on this when I was 9 years old, and so, it's been a long road," Wilson said. "I didn't have a lot of support in the beginning. I didn't have any support until about year eight of being here in this town, because what I did was not cool then, right? But it's about timing. It's about finding the people who love what you do, and lucky for you, don't want you to change.
