Lainey Wilson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Lainey Wilson has had an absolutely massive few days, capping off what she herself calls a whirlwind year. Fresh off sweeping the CMA Awards last week with wins for Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year for her album Whirlwind, Wilson made her long-awaited Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade debut on November 27th, performing live in front of the iconic Herald Square flagship store. This was a major bucket list moment for the Louisiana native, who grew up watching the parade with her family every Thanksgiving and has spoken extensively about how meaningful it was to finally perform there. She delivered standout performances of "Somewhere Over Laredo" and "Peace, Love & Cowboys," both from her Whirlwind Deluxe album, and made a point not to lip sync, as she had previously told Bobby Bones Show hosts that authenticity mattered to her. The 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which aired on NBC and Peacock, featured her in a stunning Western-inspired holiday outfit complete with a bold red fur cape and gold-embroidered details that had fashion observers buzzing.
Beyond the parade performance, Wilson has been juggling multiple entertainment ventures. She's preparing for a Family Guy Christmas special voiceover work that premiered on Friday, and she continues balancing her acting career alongside her music, having recently wrapped filming for Yellowstone's final season. Her touring schedule also remains robust, as she capped off her sold-out Whirlwind World Tour with a stop in Orlando on November 8th.
On the music front, Wilson just scored her ninth number one hit at country radio, a testament to her continued commercial dominance. Additionally, her holiday EP Peace, Love & Cowboys received a physical release across 12-inch vinyl, 7-inch vinyl, and CD formats, with the project featuring her holiday rendition alongside a duet with Bing Crosby on "Let It Snow."
The artist is also currently on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame through November 30th with an exhibition titled "Lainey Wilson: Tough as Nails," cementing her status as a major figure in contemporary country music. Looking ahead, she's nominated for three Grammy Awards in the Best Country Song, Best Country Solo Performance, and Best Country Duo Group Performance categories for her collaboration "Trailblazer" with Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert.
