Lainey Wilson reveals Keith Urban’s advice: ‘No whining on the yacht’

Lainey Wilson has revealed how Keith Urban helps her keep things in perspective.

The 4X4XU singer shared that her fellow country singer has given her lots of helpful advice over the years, including a blunt take on her busy schedule.

“I ran into him, and I was so tired. I had been on the road; I think we played 180-something shows that year. And I saw him, and I was telling him, I was just like, ‘I’m tired,'” she shared on the latest episode of No Filter with Kate Langbroek.

“And he was like, ‘No whining on the yacht.'”

Wilson said Urban, with whom she duets on his song Go Home W U, has also offered some wisdom on how to keep herself grounded amid her success.

“He told me not long ago, it’s better to maintain balance than always be trying to achieve it,” she said. “So to me, that means, figure out what works for you. Have work-life balance and don’t lose that, because once you do and you’re kind of lopsided, then it’s hard to get back.”

For his part, Urban has sung Wilson’s praises in interviews, telling Inked Magazine last year that the reigning CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year has “swagger for days”.

“I love Lainey’s voice; to hear her sing, you just know who she is,” he said. “She can make herself at home anywhere, and that’s why people love her.”
