Now she is a GRAMMY\u00ae award winning, prolific singer-songwriter, preparing to return to the UK this week for a sold-out tour that kicks off tomorrow, Tues April 16th at Ulster Hall, Belfas

On April 7th the BBR Music Group\/BMG artist secured a win for “Female Video of the Year” for ‘Watermelon Moonshine’ at the CMT awards, where she also performed brand new song ‘Country’s Cool Again<\/strong><\/a>‘ (WATCH\u00a0HERE<\/strong><\/a>). Days later, she was nominated for five Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, including “Entertainer of The Year” and “Song of the Year”, for ‘Heart Like A Truck’. The 59th ACM Awards will stream live exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday, May 16 at 8 p.m. EDT from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

Critically acclaimed and the Country Music Association’s (CMA) reigning “Entertainer of the Year”, the Louisiana native who has often been described as a “bona fide storyteller at work,” has made a name for herself as a next generation icon.

Constantly defying the traditional norms and conventions of the Country music genre, Wilson’s “rulebreaking” achievements have led her to numerous accolades and a diehard fanbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ‘Country’s Cool Again’ Lainey expresses her shock and joy that country music is having a worldwide moment. The lyrics say:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Oh me, oh my, how things have changed<\/em>
And I can’t believe my eyes these days<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody wanna be a cowboy<\/em>
Drive a jon boat, whip a John Deere<\/em>
Everybody want a backwoods front porch<\/em>
With a tub full of iced-down beer<\/em>
Must be something in the water flowing out of the holler<\/em>
Blue collar must’ve caught a new wind<\/em>
Doggone, dadgum it, didn’t see that coming<\/em>
Country’s cool again.”<\/em>

In her “Female Video of the Year” acceptance speech for ‘Watermelon Moonshine’, viewable\u00a0HERE<\/a>, Lainey shared:\u00a0“I just want to say, first of all, every single girl that was in this category, all of them are dear friends. They work their tails off and they just dedicate their life to creating music and creating this vision and bringing it to life. I am so honored to be a part of this category. It’s really unreal watching these girls do what they do. I am pretty sure all of them would let me say thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for supporting women in country. It’s a big dang deal! Thank you so much. ‘Watermelon Moonshine’ is about that young, wild, crazy love — a time in your life when nothing else mattered. It takes you back to that certain time, that place, that smell, that sound — that’s what country music is right there. It’s just about telling a story and thank y’all so much for letting me do that with this video. God bless y’all.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
