Outside a Los Angeles grocery store, Lainey Wilson loaded up on drinks and snacks a day before her impressive Grammy Awards performance in a tribute to music legend Quincy Jones. At the store, she packed three cases of Mondays Light beer into an SUV.

Coffee in hand, Lainey pushed a cart filled to the top. Cheese puffs, chips, fresh produce, and flowers were stacked high. Party gift bags rounded out her purchases.

Wilson often looked amused at the photographer who followed her and took photos of her on her personal food run. It is also worth noting that the singer bypassed the reusable shopping bags required in L.A., opting to toss items directly into her trunk while drinking her morning coffee.
