Produced by Grammy Award-winning
producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Wilson’s
latest studio album, Whirlwind, was released via
BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville this past summer and was nominated
for Best Country Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. With the album, Wilson
achieved her best sales week ever as the record debuted at #8 on the
all-genre Billboard 200 chart—her first top 10 entry.

Critical acclaim for Whirlwind:
“the best release of her career” —The Tennessean
“She’s becoming a major headlining country star, and this album
feels like it’s cementing that position” —NPR Music
“her music has a blend of brawn, heart, and willingness to upend
the status quo that’s not only listenable, but also the kind of thing you can’t
help but root for” —Rolling Stone
“A romantic survivor with cowgirl cred, carried by a voice that
can convey ache and mettle in equal measure” —The New York Times
“Her new album features 14 tracks highlighting Wilson’s true
country sound and a gift for storytelling” —Forbes
“Whirlwind captures the pinnacle of the singer’s
journey thus far still while holding onto the parts of her that make her feel
human” —American Songwriter
In just the past year, Wilson was also inducted into the Grand
Ole Opry, performed during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Halftime Show, won
Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, three awards at the 59th ACM
Awards and two awards at the 58th CMA Awards, where she also made her hosting
debut alongside Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson also received two awards
at this year’s ACM Honors: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to
those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the
Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is
given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country
music.
A prolific and sought-after songwriter, Wilson has scored eight #1 hits including “4x4xU,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” and has also collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Nosedive”), Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). She is also a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actor, as she made her acting debut in season 5 of Paramount’s hit series Yellowstone and recently returned for its final episode of the series. Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma,” which was featured in the new Twisters movie.
