It’s official: Bell-bottoms are back in style. Bell-bottom country, that is.

What is bell-bottom country? Country music superstar Lainey Wilson coined the term to describe her unique look and sound — country music with a flair.

Learn more about the “Heart Like A Truck” and “Watermelon Moonshine” singer’s upbringing as a pragmatic farmer’s daughter in Baskin, Louisiana, to her meteoric rise to the top of country charts at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s new exhibit, Lainey Wilson: Tough as Nails.

Discover how Wilson’s rural upbringing shaped the unique style and sound that launched her into global fame. Plus, see some of her most iconic on-stage and red carpet looks, alongside artifacts like journals, guitars, and even her high school cheerleading uniform.

The exhibit is open now through June 2026. Tickets are included with the museum’s admission price and are free for museum members.
