## History

Elizabeth "Betsy" Lane was born in Sevier County, Tennessee, United States in 1963. Her parents, John and Caroline Lane, were hardworking people who instilled a strong work ethic in their daughter from a young age. Growing up in a rural community, Betsy had a simple childhood filled with family gatherings and music.

Betsy's love for music began when she was a little girl. She would listen to her parents' old records and sing along to her favorite songs. When she was seven years old, her parents bought her a guitar for her birthday, and she began teaching herself how to play. By the time she was a teenager, Betsy was performing at local talent shows and events, impressing everyone with her beautiful voice and natural stage presence.

After graduating from high school, Betsy moved to Nashville to pursue her dream of becoming a popstar. She got a job as a waitress to support herself while she worked on her music career. At night, she would perform at local bars and clubs, hoping to catch the attention of someone in the music industry. Whilst in Nashville, she developed a proclivity for cocaine, and often uses it to this day to get into her Dixie Darling persona.

Betsy's big break came in 1985 when what she thought was a talent scout from a major record label saw her perform at a club. Impressed by her talent, the scout signed her to a record deal, and Betsy began recording her debut album. She moved to Los Santos on the promise of fame and fortune, using the last of her little savings. Turns out, the scout was a scam artist, and now shes in Los Santos at square one.
