There’s something magical about country music under open skies. But when you mix that with Lainey Wilson, tropical paradise, and a crowd ready to let loose, you don’t just get a concert; you get a full-blown experience. At Crash My Playa 2022, Lainey brought the fire to the beach, turning a sun-soaked stage into a boot-stomping party no one wanted to end.
This short but unforgettable performance recap shows Lainey kicking off 2022 with explosive energy at Crash My Playa, Luke Bryan’s annual beachfront country festival in Mexico. Palm trees swayed, cowboy hats filled the crowd, and Lainey owned the spotlight with her signature Bell Bottom Country sound. It was more than a recap; it was a vibe check that said, “I’m here, and I’m bringing the heat.”

The fans went wild; cheering, singing along and dancing barefoot in the sand. It wasn’t just the music that moved them. It was the way Lainey made them feel seen and part of something real. Even in a one-minute video, the joy radiates. You can feel the sweat, the sun, the sound and you wish you were right there in the middle of it all.
But this was just Lainey warming up. A few months later, she hit the big stage at the 58th Annual CMA Awards, performing her electric anthem “4x4xU.” This song hit harder; mixing country grit with modern edge. It’s loud, proud, and fiercely original; just like Lainey.

Then came a softer side. At the Tiny Desk Concert, Lainey stripped everything back—just her voice, a guitar, and raw emotion. It was intimate, honest and absolutely unforgettable. Want more?
