Lainey Wilson broke through in 2021 with her first No. 1 country single, “Things A Man Oughta Know. Since then, the Louisiana native has become known for her unique style as much as her music. Her trademark bell bottoms are practically a supporting act at live shows. During a recent concert in Little Rock, Arkansas, however, the “Hang Tight Honey” singer traded in her signature style for something a little more… fowl.
“They Say Don’t Take Yourself Too Serious, Right?”
In August, Lainey Wilson dropped Whirlwind, the follow-up to 2022’s Grammy-winning Bell Bottom Country. Her songwriting skills especially shine on the ballad “Counting Chickens,” on which she sings of not-so-patiently waiting for a marriage proposal: Baby maybe cart and horsing ain’t the smartest thing to do / Cause they ain’t even hatched yet but my eggs are in one basket / And I’m loving counting chickens with you.
Performing “Counting Chickens” over Halloween weekend presented an opportunity the “Watermelon Moonshine” singer couldn’t pass up. During a Nov. 1 show at Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas, Wilson arrived onstage sporting a hilarious inflatable chicken costume.
