“It was November of 2022. I was scrolling on TikTok and I noticed a few videos of my butt that had gone viral. And then I noticed like a week later, it continued and continued. And then the next week I was like, ‘Golly, it’s still there.’ It wasn’t just like a small little viral moment. It was a big – no pun intended – moment,” Lainey began.

Lainey gave the advice, “Don’t go down the rabbit hole of looking at comments. I’ve learned my lesson with that,” when it came to body image, adding, “At the end the day, me gaining a few pounds or losing a few pounds, it ain’t got nothing to do with my story, me singing or my songwriting. ”
