[WATCH] Lainey Wilson Covers Bon Jovi’s Livin On A Prayer

Lainey Wilson brought serious rock energy to this year’s Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville with an electrifying cover of Bon Jovi’s classic hit, “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

The annual industry event gathers radio professionals, artists, and insiders for days of performances, panels, and networking.

But Lainey turned her performance into a full-on concert experience, proving once again why she’s one of country music’s most dynamic entertainers.

A Rock Classic Gets a Country Twist

Originally released on Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet album in 1986, “Livin’ on a Prayer” became a worldwide hit, topping charts in the U.S., Canada, and beyond. While the song is pure rock and roll, Lainey’s high-energy performance gave it a fresh twist that had the CRS crowd fully engaged.

Known for blending country storytelling with rock influences, Lainey’s choice to cover this legendary anthem felt completely natural. She didn’t just sing it—she owned it, making the industry-heavy audience feel more like a stadium crowd.

No Stranger to Rock Covers

Longtime fans know this isn’t Lainey’s first time putting her spin on rock classics. She’s been sharing covers like this on social media since her early days in the industry. Last year, she even joined The Rolling Stones onstage for an unforgettable duet of “Dead Flowers.”

With her undeniable stage presence and killer vocals, it wouldn’t be a surprise if “Livin’ on a Prayer” became a regular part of her live set. After all, a great song is a great song—no matter the genre—and Lainey Wilson knows exactly how to make it her own.
