Lainey Wilson shared the advice she received from country megastar Miranda Lambert.

Wilson spoke about her friendship with Lambert in an interview with Southern Living Editor-in-Chief Sid Evans on a new episode of Biscuits & Jam. During their conversation on the podcast, which made its debut on Tuesday (October 7), the Whirlwind hitmaker spoke about the friendship she’s build with Lambert, and the advice Lambert shared with her.

“And Miranda and I have so much in common, but especially our love for the Western way of life, and also our love for coming home and planting our feet and filling our cups back up so we can go back out and pour 'em out,” Wilson said. “But she's always been that voice over here just being like, ‘You can't do it all. You can't do it all. You gotta come home and you gotta saddle your horse, and you gotta make sure that you're scooping the poop on the farm and doing all the things that make everything else worth it.’

“And that's what I found with a lot of the ladies in country music,” she continued. “They don't keep their cards close to their chest. I mean, I don't know how I got so lucky, but they willingly are just like, ‘Let me give you some advice.’...It's very important for me to call people like Miranda and Reba and Wynonna and the ladies that have blazed those trails over and over again. And it's cool to start doing that for the ones coming up now too.”

Wilson has also teamed up with Lambert — who considers the Louisiana-born country star “a legend already” — to write music. Most recently, the pair teamed up with country legend Reba McEntire on “Trailblazer,” a collaboration that the trio performed live for the first time earlier this year at the milestone 60th Academy of Country Music Awards. Wilson and Lambert previously released “Good Horses,” a duet that appeared on Wilson’s latest studio record, Whirlwind.

“This was also the year that I was just crazy busy,” Wilson said of writing and recording “Good Horses” during her conversation with Evans on Biscuits & Jam. “I think that year I slept in my bed 15 nights. And one of those times that I was here in Nashville, I remember Miranda calling me and being like… ‘I want you to come out to my farm where there's hardly any cell phone service, and I want you to take a nap and we're gonna feed you.’ 'Cause her husband is a great cook… And I slept for like 13 hours and they had to go knock on the door. They're like, ‘Is she alive?’ And…I had had this song idea for quite some time, and I think I had gotten the idea from watching an episode of Yellowstone. I was a fan of the show before I was ever even involved with it.”

Wilson’s Biscuits & Jam episode arrives shortly after her interview in Southern Living. The “Heart Like A Truck” superstar spoke about her first date with fiancé Devlin “Duck” Hodges, stories behind her Tennessee home, her family in Louisiana, her music and more. The magazine’s November issue will arrive on newsstands on Friday, October 17. Throughout the Biscuits & Jam episode, Wilson also spoke about what every Louisiana wedding needs, her favorite Hannah Montana song (after working as an impersonator), her French Bulldog (Hippie Mae), and more.
