stand-out performances and show stopping acceptance speeches at Country Music's
Biggest Night, the CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.
In
the 57-year history of the awards, Lainey Wilson shattered glass as the first
female country artist in over a decade to capture "Entertainer
of the Year" joining a class of iconic trail blazers Loretta
Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly
Parton, Reba McEntire, Shania
Twain, The Chicks and Taylor
Swift. Premiering the television broadcast performance of

from her "Album of the Year" winning BELL BOTTOM COUNTRY, Lainey
Wilson ignited the stage with a fiery delivery solidifying her
recognition as the most awarded artist at the 2023 broadcast.

Lainey approaches the top of charts, this "New Artist of the Year"
winner kicked off the broadcast with a soulful/gospel rendition of multi-format
hit "Need a Favor" with the iconic Wynonna
Judd.
Jelly Roll received an electrifying standing ovation for his first
CMA win as "New Artist of the Year". "There is something
poetic about a 39-year-old man winning 'New Artist of the Year'. I don't know
where you're at in your life or what you're going through, but I want to tell
you to keep going. I want to tell you success is on the other side of it. I want
to tell you that it's gonna be ok. I want to tell you that the windshield is
bigger than the rearview for a reason! Because what's in front of you is so
much more important than what's behind you".

ABOUT LAINEY WILSON:
As the most nominated artist at the 2023 CMA Awards with a record-breaking nine
nominations, and five wins including Entertainer of the Year,
Lainey Wilson has earned the enthusiasm of the industry.
Critically acclaimed and touted
as a top “artist to watch,” to being the leading female nominee and winner at
the 2023 ACM Awards and CMT Music Awards, the Louisiana native has made a
name for herself in the industry as one of music’s hottest and most
buzzed-about new artists.
Landing her first No. 1 with her
PLATINUM Certified ACM Song of the Year, “Things A Man Oughta Know,”
nearly 10 years to the day after leaving her small farming community in a
camper trailer to chase her dreams, she has won over legions of fans with her
signature Bell Bottom Country sound and aesthetic, which blends traditional
Country with a modern yet retro flare.
A prolific and sought-after
songwriter (having co-writer credits on songs by artists including Luke Combs,
Flatland Calvary, and more), Lainey is a fresh, fierce voice in Nashville,
delivering CMA-nominated album of the year with her label debut, Sayin’
What I’m Thinkin’.
With a rockstar stage presence,
her artistry has taken her across the globe, performing for sold-out crowds
throughout the US, UK, and Germany with notable names like Jon Pardi, Luke
Combs, Morgan Wallen, HARDY, Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde, and more.
After topping the country radio
charts for a second time with the two-week No. 1 hit, “Never Say Never”
with Cole Swindell, she recently achieved her third and fourth No. 1 song with
“Heart Like a Truck” and HARDY collaboration “wait in the
truck”. Her current single “Watermelon Moonshine” topped
the Country charts marking her fifth No. 1 single and making her the
first female artist in two years to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Country
airplay chart.
Her critically acclaimed album, BELL
BOTTOM COUNTRY, reached No. 9 on Billboard’s Country Albums
Chart, quickly rose to No. 1 on iTunes charts, and has amassed over 650
million streams to date.
Wilson made her acting debut in
Season 5 of the smash hit series “Yellowstone” as a musician character named
Abby, where she premiered her original “Smell Like Smoke” as well as showcased
other hits off her recent album including “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Hold My
Halo”. Adding to her growing list of endeavours, Wilson was honoured at
Billboard’s Women in Music Awards with the Rulebreaker Award, and most recently
joined forces with Wrangler as the face of their 2023 fall/winter women's
collection.
