Lainey Wilson got a taste of fame when she landed a job as a Hannah Montana impersonator. It’s definitely not the most average job, but it got her on stage and paid well. The “Heart Like a Truck” singer would perform at birthday parties, nursing homes, and really anywhere they would let her.
Talking about her impersonating days, Wilson told American Songwriter, “I started impersonating ‘Hannah Montana’ in eighth grade through 12th grade, and I would open up for myself a lot of the time.” As she impersonated Hannah Montana, a.k.a Miley Cyrus, Wilson was busy with gigs. She shared, “I would do three or four birthday parties a weekend. I’ve been booked, and actually, it was funny, because for five years of doing ‘Hannah Montana,’ I was booked and busy.”
Although things were going well, Wilson wanted more for her music career, and at 19 years old, not long after her high school graduation, she waved goodbye to her impersonating days and moved to Nashville to pursue her passion. But funnily enough, Wilson admitted she was busier with gigs as Hannah Montana than she was in her actual music career. She said, “Then when I got to Nashville, for the next 12 years, I wasn’t booked and busy, so [it was] a lot of highs and lows, but I did that for a long time.”
