Country superstar Lainey Wilson has broken the New York State Fair's all-time concert attendance record.
Over 53,200 people attended her show last Wednesday night, August 23. The previous record was held by rapper Nelly with an estimated 43,000 people in attendance in 2022.
The country starlet entertained the audience with several hits, including "Watermelon Moonshine," "Things a Man Oughta Know" and "Heart Like a Truck."
"This is absolutely insane," Wilson said as she looked at the audience.
Meanwhile, Wilson recently flaunted her slimmed-down physique. During a show in New York last week, the singer stepped out in a cream, figure-hugging corset top with billowing sleeves and tight snakeskin bell bottoms.
