Wilson described 2024 as a year of nonstop touring, with only 15 nights spent in her own bed.
Lambert’s invitation came during a rare stop in Nashville, offering Wilson rest, home-cooked meals, and creative space.
Miranda Lambert invited Lainey Wilson to her Nashville ranch in 2024 during a hectic touring year, as revealed in an October 7 podcast interview. The visit led to Wilson sleeping for 13 hours, prompting concern from Lambert and her husband. The retreat also sparked the creation of “Good Horses,” a track featured on Wilson’s Whirlwind album. The collaboration was born out of shared values and friendship, with Lambert offering rest and inspiration.
Wilson credited the Yellowstone series for inspiring the song’s theme, which centers on finding one’s way back home.
Lainey Wilson shared:
“Miranda called me and said, ‘Come out to the farm, take a nap, and we’ll feed you.’”
She added:
“They had to knock on the door. They’re like, ‘Is she alive?’”
Miranda Lambert said in a press release:
“Lainey is a genuine and authentic human. I love watching her dreams come true.”
Wilson described writing with Lambert and Dick as feeling “like home” and said she would “forever cherish” the experience.
The story highlights the importance of rest and support among artists in a demanding industry. Lambert’s gesture not only helped Wilson recharge but also led to a meaningful musical collaboration. Their shared love for the Western lifestyle and authenticity continues to shape their joint projects.
The anecdote also underscores the value of artist-to-artist mentorship and emotional grounding.
