Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic It’s difficult to know whether Lainey Wilson would be as big a star as she’s recently become in the field of country music without the visibility boost she’s received from “Yellowstone.” The series began featuring her songs in season 2, a few years before Lainey was cast for a recurring role as a musician in season 5. The most likely answer: She’d probably be almost as big, even without the Taylor Sheridan factor. After all, it’s not a TV show that came up with the combination of country-rock singing chops, irresistible Louisiana accent and gosh-dang gung-ho that have captivated listeners to the point that, in short succession, she’s racked up four No. 1 Mediabase radio singles and been one of the leading winners at the CMA and ACM awards shows.

Adele posed a question at her Las Vegas concert that, at some point, just about everyone has probably pondered: If given the opportunity, would they have jumped at the opportunity to visit the Titanic at the bottom of the sea in a submersible? In video shared on TikTok, the «Someone Like You» songstress prefaced the question Friday night by acknowledging that the submersible, Titan, imploding and killing all five passengers aboard the 21-foot vessel was «so sad and so tragic.»«But I have been debating with my friends on our group chats. Everyone’s like, 'I would never do that.' But that’s a lie, 'cause a lot of people would do that,» the 35-year-old singer said during her residency at The Colosseum. «I wanna do a vote — not in mind of what happened, 'cause that was so sad and so tragic -- but before this week, how many people would, if they could, would go down to the very, very bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic? Raise your hands.»After a decent amount of people raised their hands, Adele responded with, «See, I knew it! Turn the lights on so I can see the balconies… that's a very good proportion.»But more concertgoers appeared to raise their hands when asked if they wouldn't go on the tour, prompting Adele to raise the stakes and ask if they'd go to space. «I wouldn’t do it either but only because I’m a bit of a p**y.
