Country music powerhouse Lainey Wilson continues her global takeover, charming fans, industry insiders, and fellow artists while staying true to her Southern roots. As the most-nominated artist at the 59th Annual CMA Awards with six nods, including Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist, Album of the Year (“Whirlwind”), and Song and Single of the Year (“4x4xU”), Wilson cements her status as a leading force in country music. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of her award-winning “Whirlwind,” she released a deluxe edition featuring new tracks like “Bell Bottoms Up” and hit single “Somewhere Over Laredo,” which earned over 1.16 million streams in 24 hours. The nine-time CMA, 16-time ACM, and Grammy Award winner continues to top charts with No. 1 hits such as “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Heart Like a Truck,” and collaborations with stars including Cole Swindell, Jelly Roll, HARDY, Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton, and Post Malone. Wilson also recorded “Out of Oklahoma” for the “Twisters” soundtrack and will make her film debut in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s “Reminders of Him” after appearing in “Yellowstone.” Currently headlining her sold-out Whirlwind World Tour across North America and Europe, Wilson expands her brand with a Wrangler collection, Golden West Boots, and the Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection, embodying the authentic spirit and unstoppable momentum of modern country music.
