The upcoming performances add to yet another landmark year for Wilson, who is nominated for Best Country Album at this weekend’s 67th Annual Grammy Awards for her acclaimed record, Whirlwind. Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Whirlwind was released via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville this past summer and earned Wilson her best sales week ever as the record debuted at No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart—her first top 10 entry.  The album features her current Top Five country radio single “4x4xU” which is geared up to be her eighth No. 1 hit.

Critical acclaim for Whirlwind:

“the best release of her career” —The Tennessean

“She’s becoming a major headlining country star, and this album feels like it’s cementing that position” —NPR Music

“next-generation icon” —Newsweek

“her music has a blend of brawn, heart and willingness to upend the status quo that’s not only listenable, but also the kind of thing you can’t help but root for” —Rolling Stone

“A romantic survivor with cowgirl cred, carried by a voice that can convey ache and mettle in equal measure” —The New York Times

“Her new album features 14 tracks highlighting Wilson’s true country sound and a gift for storytelling” —Forbes

“Lainey Wilson is the most exciting new artist in music, and transcends genres” —Spin

“her most unapologetically country album yet” —Vulture

Whirlwind captures the pinnacle of the singer’s journey thus far still while holding onto the parts of her that make her feel human” —American Songwriter

Additionally, in just the past year, Wilson was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, performed during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Halftime Show, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, three awards at the 59th ACM Awards and two awards at the 58th CMA Awards, where she also made her hosting debut alongside Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson also received two awards at this year’s ACM Honors: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country music.

A prolific and sought-after songwriter, Wilson has scored seven No. 1 hits including “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” and has also collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Nosedive”), Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). She is also a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actor, as she made her acting debut in season five of Paramount’s hit series Yellowstone and recently returned for its final episode of the series. Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma,” which was featured in the new Twisters movie.
