In a dazzling display of holiday cheer, country sensation Lainey Wilson recently showcased her stunning weight loss during a performance at the Christmas at Graceland special. The 31-year-old artist, known for hits like “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Heart Like a Truck,” graced the stage in a sparkly red jumpsuit that paid homage to Elvis Presley’s iconic white ensemble.
The signature bell-bottom outfit featured long sleeves, a choker neckline, and a plunging bodice that perfectly accentuated her curves. This appearance marked Lainey’s first public performance since her remarkable 70-pound weight loss, a transformation that has left her confidently embracing her new look.
According to an insider who spoke exclusively to Life & Style in September, Lainey is reveling in the positive changes. “The inches have melted off, and she loves the way she looks in clothes,” the source revealed. “She’s got six-pack abs and is wearing crop tops with pride.”
Despite the attention surrounding her body transformation, Lainey remains unfazed. In a TikTok video, she humorously addressed the buzz, stating, “I can’t even scroll on TikTok without seeing my fat butt. Whatever brings ’em in. Just go check out my record Bell Bottom Country. However you found me, I’m happy you’re here.”
Acknowledging the talk about her slimdown, Lainey shared her perspective with Entertainment Tonight Canada in April, saying, “I mean, my booty introduced my music to a lot of folks, and I’m OK with that. I think ‘what would Dolly Parton do?’ You know, I’ve been at this a long time, and if you found out about my music and stuck around because of the butt or because of the music … you’re welcome!”
In addition to her stunning weight loss, Lainey Wilson’s Graceland performance of her hit songs comes on the heels of her historic night at the 2023 Country Music Association Awards. Nominated for a remarkable nine awards, Lainey took home five, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year award.
Expressing her gratitude on Instagram after the awards ceremony, Lainey wrote, “Being nominated in each of these categories amongst my friends means the world to me. And the coveted Entertainer Of The Year category?! It’s absolutely surreal. We bust our butts out there on the road every dang night to give y’all the best show possible, and I have the time of my life doing it.”
As the ride in her career continues to get wilder, Lainey Wilson remains grateful for the overwhelming support from the country music community. With her recent weight loss and historic awards sweep, it’s clear that Lainey’s star is shining brighter than ever in the world of country music.
