Lainey Wilson Reacts to Beyoncé Going Country: ‘The More the Merrier’

Before she took home the People’s Choice Award for Female Country Artist, Lainey Wilson stunned in leopard-print Cavalli on the green carpet.

“Extra’s” Melvin Robert spoke with Lainey, who talked making country "cool" again and weighed in on Beyoncé putting out a country album.

"It's really exciting to see how the country genre is growing so much," Lainey commented. "It's not just that, it's honestly the Western way of life. I feel like everybody wants to feel at home, everybody wants to feel grounded. When you get on the back of a horse or when you're out with your feet in the dirt or when you're listening to a country song, the truth is you feel at home."

As for Queen Bey going country with her upcoming album "Act II," Lainey said, “I love it. The more the merrier. I'm like, again, it's, it's about that storytelling, it's about... It's just about making people feel at home… and everybody wants to feel at home.”

When asked about the backlash in the country community, with some DJs saying they will not play Beyoncé’s music, Lainey commented, “Hey, you know what? Everybody is going have something to say about everything. I bet you wouldn’t say it to her face. I love Beyoncé.”
