Lainey Wilson reveals he saw Taylor Swift perform when no one was in the crowd; details here

Lainey Wilson had a full-circle moment at the Twisters movie premiere in Los Angeles on July 11, where she met Taylor Swift. The Heart Like a Truck singer expressed her incredulity and joy at learning that Swift was a fan of hers, a feeling made even more surreal by Wilson’s mutual love for Swift over the years. Recalling her early days when she saw Swift perform at CMA Fest with her family, Wilson recalled that they were just a few in the audience at the time.

It was a full-circle moment for Lainey Wilson and Taylor Swift

The Heart Like a Truck singer reportedly confessed at the Twisters movie premiere in Los Angeles on July 11 that it was surreal for her to learn Swift was a fan of hers, even though she herself had been a fan of the 34-year-old anti-hero singer for a “long time.”

“I saw her perform at CMA Fest on the Riverfront Stage when she was probably 15. I was 14, and I remember thinking, man, this girl has a bright future,” Wilson said. “And there was hardly anybody in the crowd except me and my family.”

iHeartRadio previously reported that Wilson was “shocked” when the Grammy winner first confessed that she was a fan. Wilson expressed her admiration, saying that she really respected Swift and thought she was “so amazing” at the time.

More than just vocal similarities

Swift’s career trajectory impressed the Yellowstone star. “It’s really amazing to see how she did it. I think she’s a boss,” Wilson said.

This isn’t the only similarity drawn by the two singers, as both singers are currently dating NFL players. Wilson recently announced her relationship with former NFL player Devlin Hodges, while Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

During the Twisters premiere, Wilson reportedly said that musicians sometimes find it difficult to separate their personal relationships from their work. She explained that as a woman in country music, you have to make sure you’re taking care of business, and nothing is a distraction. When asked if she would bring Hodges onstage during her current tour, as Swift did with Kelsea, she quipped, “We might do that.”
