Lainey Wilson just made one of the coolest and most colorful video transitions you will see this year. In her new YouTube Short she is lip syncing to her hit “Somewhere Over Laredo” in her signature bell bottoms and hat. Then with a single jump she changes everything in a blink and you miss the moment of pure creativity.
She starts outdoors, singing along to the song’s first lines. Then she places the camera on the ground. Watch at the 0:08 mark as she leaps over the lens, and when she lands her whole outfit has magically changed to a new bright color. It is a fun modern way to show off her unique style and personality.
