As the reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year, self-professed storyteller Lainey Wilson has captured the hearts of country music fans, the excitement of the industry and the recognition of her peers, all while keeping her boots firmly planted on the ground. The prolific, sought-after songwriter has already scored seven No. 1 hits including “Watermelon Moonshine,” 2x PLATINUM “Heart Like A Truck” as well as award-winning collaborations with Cole Swindell, Jelly Roll, and HARDY. After winning a GRAMMY Award for Best Country Album for Bell Bottom Country, Wilson released her new album, WHIRLWIND, on August 23. WHIRLWIND is a daringly honest look into the singer’s life and journey around the globe, featuring songs “Hang Tight Honey” and “4x4xU,” the former nearing Top 10 on the country charts. Wilson has become a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actress. She made her acting debut in Paramount’s hit series Yellowstone, was inducted this year into the Grand Ole Opry by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, and most recently wrote “Out of Oklahoma,” her original song for Universal’s blockbuster film, Twisters.
