Lainey Wilson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lainey Wilson is having an absolutely stellar week as we head into the holiday season. The country music superstar just achieved her ninth number one hit at country radio with "Somewhere Over Laredo," which also topped charts in the United Kingdom and Canada. The song's momentum surged following her high-profile performance at the 99th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, where she performed a medley including the track alongside "Peace, Love & Cowboys (Holiday Edition)." Wilson described the parade appearance as full-circle, sharing that she has cherished childhood memories of watching the event with her family.

Adding to the holiday excitement, Wilson debuted a nostalgic claymation video on December 2nd for her duet version of "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" with the late Bing Crosby. Created in partnership with Hershey's, the video features charming animated versions of both artists in a cozy cabin setting, complete with an appearance from Wilson's French bulldog, Hippie Mae. The whimsical video pairs Wilson's warm vocal with Crosby's classic performance. The song appears on her new holiday EP, "Peace, Love & Cowboys (Holiday Edition)," available on vinyl and CD formats.

On the award front, Wilson is riding an incredible wave of recognition. She's nominated for three Grammy Awards at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, including Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for "Somewhere Over Laredo," plus Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Trailblazer" featuring Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert. This follows her dominant performance at the 59th CMA Awards last month, where she made history as the first solo female host since Reba McEntire in 1991. She walked away with three major wins that night: Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year for her album "Whirlwind."

Looking ahead, Wilson has confirmed performances scheduled for December 7th in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena as part of her Wildflowers & Wild Horses tour during the National Finals Rodeo, followed by a Grand Ole Opry Christmas show appearance on December 10th. She's also expanding her business empire with new ventures including her fourth Wrangler collection, Golden West Boots, and The Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection.
