Lainey Wilson has offered a candid look into her grounded lifestyle, explaining how she maintains a sense of normalcy despite her status as a global country music icon.
In a recent conversation with "PEOPLE" magazine, the 33-year-old artist shared that she frequently attempts to navigate daily life like any other individual.
Claiming that she can go "undercover pretty easily" during her routine errands, she noted a humorous flaw in her anonymity.
"I could be at Walgreens or Walmart, and as soon as I’m checking out at the counter, the cashier will kind of look at me weird," she explained. "There’s no hiding the voice," she remarked regarding her unmistakable accent.
The "Bell Bottom Country" singer reflected on the "explosion" of her career, admitting that the scale of her recent success was entirely unpredictable.
"Even 15 years in Nashville could not prepare me for the way my career exploded. I mean, this is all I could have ever wanted and more," she admitted.
Despite her meteoric rise, Wilson remains firm that her professional achievements do not constitute her entire identity.
"I’m not just a singer, songwriter, musician — that’s what I do," she asserted. She concluded the interview by reiterating her commitment to staying humble.
"Trophies and awards are things that come along with success, but it cannot define me as a person, because that’s when I lose sight of who I am. I got to keep my head screwed on straight."
Having spent over a decade honing her craft in Tennessee, Wilson is now focused on upcoming tour dates and further musical releases.
