Lainey Wilson’s Netflix documentary Keepin’ Country Cool premieres April 22nd, showcasing her journey to becoming CMA Entertainer Of The Year.

The trailer was just released, featuring Wilson describing her path as a “14-year overnight success” after grinding for years in Nashville. 

Directed by Amy Scott, the film includes childhood footage of five-year-old Wilson performing and clips from early gigs, including one atop an AC unit where she was paid with free hot dogs for life. 

The documentary covers her relationship with fiancé Devlin “Duck” Hodges, and the daily challenges of fame. “People keep sayin’ country’s cool again,” Wilson states. “Well, I say it never stopped being cool.”
