Yellowstone returned to The Paramount Network with episode six and it saw ranch hand Ryan (played by Ian Bohen) start a new romance. Since the first episode, he has had his eye on a musician who has been performing in bars and at events on the ranch. Express.co.uk has all you need to know about who Ryan’s new love interest is.
Who is the female country singer in Yellowstone?
The country singer’s first encounter was with Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) as the pair were watching the cowboys at work.
Ever since then, Ryan’s interest in the blonde musician has grown and things came to a head in the latest episode.
The musician in question is Abby, who is touring and has found a new loyal fanbase in Montana.
She never intended to stay as long as she has, but her attraction to Ryan has kept her around.
Abby is played by Lainey Wilson, a real-life country singer from Louisiana.
The star made her acting debut in Yellowstone, having never appeared in front of the cameras in this way before.
After filming her first kiss on screen, she told USA Today: “I didn’t really know what I was doing, but you go in there head-first.
“I was going to give people their money’s worth. “I told my mommy and daddy, ‘You might not want to watch this show.’
“I don’t want to be on their prayer list.”
The star spoke on the Yellowstone podcast about how Taylor Sheridan created the role specifically for her.
She said: “If anything I have learned that me being myself… I don’t even know how to put it.
“You can try and be everything else under the sun, I mean when I moved to Nashville I saw all the things that were working.
“I saw all the kind of music that was working, but I have a lot of people in my corner who remind me of where I come from and who I truly am.
“So I have a really hard time being anyone but myself.”
Ahead of her TV debut she spoke to Express.co.uk about meeting the cast for the first time.

She recalled her first encounter with Beth star Kelly and described her as a kind-hearted woman.
Lainey said: “I think she is the coolest person I have ever met. I didn’t know what to expect.
“I knew she was going to be a spitfire, but when I tell you she was one of the kindest people I have ever met… she is just a good person.
“She loves what she does, she takes it serious and I appreciate that.”
One thing Lainey has loved about her experience is getting to showcase her new music.
The show has featured songs both written exclusively for Yellowstone, or from her new album.
She said: “It’s so huge, they have put three of my songs in the show so far and it really just introduced my music to a crowd of people who might not listen to the radio or might not have streaming services.
“A lot of people come to my shows and they say ‘I found you through Yellowstone’, it’s just absolutely insane.
“It’s just a huge opportunity, I don’t take it lightly.”
Viewers will have to wait and see whether Abby’s relationship with Ryan manifests into something big.
Yellowstone airs on Sundays on The Paramount Network and Mondays on Paramount Plus.
