Lainey Wilson

Baskin is a farming town of about 170 people, and Lainey Wilson was born there on May 19, 1992, to a farmer and a schoolteacher. Television came next: she joined the cast of Yellowstone in 2022, playing Abby. Her fourth album, Bell Bottom Country, came out that year and won the Grammy for Best Country Album at the 2024 ceremony. The Country Music Association named her Entertainer of the Year in 2023 and again in 2025.
