Country recording star Lainey Wilson thanked all the people who made this unforgettable Denver trip happen over Instagram-Fabulous VIP treatment from the Coors family, first pitch throwing at the Rockies game, and two hot sell-out crowds to her credit at Ball Arena. The laid-back stadium setting of lag-free scenery drew an enthusiastic response from fans, shouting praises for Wilson being so down to earth and filled with Denver pride.

Wilson stands in one of the Rockies jerseys in the classic wide-bell bell-bottomed pants, with a black cowboy hat and a pair of aviator sunglasses adorning the ensemble. Goldilocks, there is a Coors in the other hand. The gesture was a salute to the hospitality of the brewery. One is reminded of the scattered Coors throughout the area. Around the empty seats is an ambush from calm before the pregame madness begins.
The comment section was filled to the brim with affectionate and teasing comments. One user quipped about her being a lucky charm for the Rockies: “No wonder they’ve won three in a row—they had the Queen of Bell Bottom Country on their side!” One user referenced Wilson’s Rod Stewart tee from another photo, cleverly marrying a track fandom with Wilson’s budding stardom.
County pride was expressed as several Denverites pleaded for her return: “We just love you here,” one wrote, while yet another joked, “I feel like she got a better Coors tour than the rest of us.” One wise follower made an esoteric observation: “The mountain silhouette on Coors Light cans is called ‘Wilson’ in Telluride,” which would have sparked joy among that group who cherish the singer’s down-home charm.
However, not all comments remained on topic. One comment implied she would do well as a member of the Timbers (“Should’ve been a Detroit Tigers fan!”). Still, others veered off randomly pitching the beginnings of an ABBA country crossover. Warmth continued to be served in between, courtesy of the fans and Wilson herself, who mentioned in her caption having a “heart full”.
That is Lauren Wilson distilled: one step shy of mixing moments of celebrity with a relatably down-to-earth joy-geeking out about anything, from brewery tours to small victories like not whiffing the first pitch. Hence, as one fan said, “people just love her here.” And the selling-out of Ball Arena is a testament to Denver loving her as well.

Wilson’s Denver trip will seal off her breakout year, even with beer magnates and baseball teams caught under her bell-bottomed spell. No word yet on if the Rockies are serious about making her their permanent good-luck charm, but if they are, Coors better be ready to stock up.
