The path to fame is often paved with trials and tribulations—a narrative deeply embodied by country music artist Lainey Wilson. The trailer for her forthcoming documentary, which Hulu revealed on Monday, May 6, provides an intimate window into her early days in Nashville, which were marked by heartbreak and rejection.
“I experienced a lot of rejection, a lot of heartache,” Wilson reveals at the start of the trailer. “I’m a tough woman, but it’s not easy. I have my days where you gotta do whatever you can to crawl out of those dark holes.”
As the trailer unfolds, Wilson’s voice narrates the hardships she faced, including living in a camper van and the relentless pursuit of her musical dreams despite frequent setbacks.
“I remember sittin’ out in this camper trailer, cryin’ my eyes out, thinking, ‘Is it ever gonna happen?’”
Transitioning from the recount of her initial struggles, the trailer offers viewers a front-row seat into Wilson’s unwavering determination to succeed.
“Momma and Daddy didn’t raise no quitter,” Wilson asserts in the trailer, signaling the strength of character and family values that propelled her forward through the tough times.
The documentary will also explore Wilson’s personal challenges, particularly in 2022 when she faced her father’s serious health problems amidst her time on the set of the television series “Yellowstone.”

The trailer takes us from Wilson’s moments of doubt to the pinnacle of her achievements. It contrasts the emotional weight of her journey with the celebration of her accolades, which include the prestigious CMA Entertainer of the Year award and a Grammy for Best Country Album.
The trailer teases a story that reflects not only on Wilson’s personal struggles but also on her remarkable rise to prominence in the country music scene.
“19 years old, pulling up to Nashville, I was terrified. I was a fish out of water. At times, I was ‘too country’ for country.”

In a heartfelt endorsement, Robin Roberts, who interviews Wilson for the special, emphasizes the importance of sharing stories of “talented women who are strong and authentic.”
Wilson’s story is a shining example of this belief, offering an uplifting tale of overcoming the odds through genuine grit and talent. The documentary will also dive deeper into Wilson’s past, her unique fashion sense symbolized by her signature bell bottoms, and the personal significance they hold in her journey.
“I feel like every pair of bell bottoms all come with a different story.”
Produced by ABC News Studios and part of a series of new projects, Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country will present an intimate look at the making of a star. The trailer has skillfully set the stage for a documentary that is as emotionally stirring as it is inspiring.
Lainey Wilson’s highly-anticipated documentary debut will launch on Hulu on Wednesday, May 29.
This release sets the stage for an exciting time, as it comes just before the kickoff of her ‘Country’s Cool Again’ tour on Friday, May 31.
