Bell Bottoms Up officially opened in May and Wilson celebrated with an all-day meet and greet with fans. Since the 27,000-square-foot venue opened its doors, the “Watermelon Moonshine” singer has made several appearances there. Notably, she held her ACM Honors after party at the venue.

The setlist featured some of the Louisiana native’s biggest hits and new tunes from her recently released album Whirlwind. She sang “Heart Like a Truck,” “Hang Tight Honey,” “4X4XU,” and more to celebrate the occasion.
Wilson and Wrangler have teamed up for a new line of clothing which will be unveiled next Wednesday (September 25). However, fans who attended the Bell Bottoms Up grand opening event got a sneak peek at the line.

Lainey Wilson spoke about how much her Nashville bar and venue means to her in a statement. “Bell Bottoms Up is a dream come true,” she shared. “Every time I’m in Nashville, it’s where I want to be because it’s a place where my Wild Horses can call home,” she explained. “I’m living my own honk tonk dream, and to celebrate the opening of a honky tonk of m own is truly something special. I hope to see y’all there soon,” Wilson added.
Yesterday, Wilson took to social media to share more about the grand opening event. The post contained several pictures from the grand opening as well as a long and heartfelt caption. “I’ve had a dream of opening my own bar on Broadway for years and last night we got to celebrate making that dream a reality,” she wrote.
“I’ve always said that if I ever had my own place, it would be called Bell Bottoms Up and I would bring a bit of Louisiana to Nashville. Thank you to the incredible team that helped make this little girl from Baskin’s dreams come true and for everyone who came out to celebrate with us last night. Come on by, grab a drink and a bite of some Louisiana cookin’,” she added.
