Lainey Wilson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lainey Wilson is having one of the biggest weeks of her already record-breaking year. As of December 2nd, her single "Somewhere Over Laredo" has officially become her ninth number one hit on country radio, making her join an elite group alongside Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift in the country music record books. The track, which appears on the deluxe version of her album Whirlwind, also topped charts in the United Kingdom and Canada, proving her international appeal.

The momentum from that chart success was amplified just days earlier when Wilson performed a medley of "Peace, Love, & Cowboys" and "Somewhere Over Laredo" during the 99th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She described the appearance as deeply meaningful, calling it a full-circle moment since she remembers watching the parade with her family as a child.

On the same day her chart victory was announced, Wilson released a nostalgic holiday video for her duet version of "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" with Bing Crosby. The video, created in partnership with Hershey's, features Claymation-style animation reminiscent of classic Rankin-Bass Christmas specials. The creative clip shows Wilson in a cozy cabin preparing hot chocolate and s'mores, repeatedly interrupted by mishaps involving an animated Crosby. Her real-life French bulldog, Hippie Mae, even makes a cameo appearance. The duet appears on her new holiday EP, Peace, Love, & Cowboys, available on vinyl and CD formats.

Grammy recognition continues flowing in for Wilson. She currently holds three nominations for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for "Somewhere Over Laredo," plus Best Country Duo or Group Performance for "Trailblazer," her collaboration with Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert.

Looking ahead, Wilson is scheduled to perform at the Grand Ole Opry on December 10th as part of their special Christmas show, and she'll headline the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on December 7th during the National Finals Rodeo, with special guests Shane Smith and The Saints alongside Gabriella Rose. Her Whirlwind World Tour continues through 2026 with dates across Australia, New Zealand, and North America scheduled throughout the year.
