Some troll online told Lainey Wilson that she, quote, "Dances better than she sings.  Maybe stick with that instead."  So, she clapped back by showing off her sweet dance moves.  We asked..now that you’ve reached superstar level…what keeps you humble?  She says people from her hometown. “The treat me like the same ole me”.
