Wilson Lands First-Ever GRAMMY Awards Nominations For Best Country Album and Country Duo/Group Performance
As The Most Nominated Artist Two Years In A Row, Wilson Brought Home The Highly Coveted Titles Of Entertainer Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Female Vocalist Of The Year, Musical Event Of The Year, and Music Video Of The Year At The CMA Awards
GRAMMY-nominated singer songwriter and breakthrough actress, Lainey Wilson, has announced “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” as her next single, following Wilson’s television debut performance of the song at the 57th Annual CMA Awards, in Nashville, Tennessee last week.
As the third BMG/Broken Bow Records’ single off her critically acclaimed, award-winning album, Bell Bottom Country, “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” is a reflective tale of Wilson’s life; “barefoot and bareback”. The soulful yet Southern track, accompanied by Wilson’s signature sound, blends elements of Western, Rock, and Americana, to bring forth a modern yet traditional Country song as an ode to her roots.

These two nominations follow on the heels of her five wins including Entertainer Of The Year and Album Of The Year at this year’s CMA Awards.
Wilson’s 2024 GRAMMY nominations include:
- Best Country Album – Bell Bottom Country
- Country Duo/Group Performance – “Save Me” (Jelly Roll with Lainey Wilson)
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, rose up Billboard’s Top Album Chart and Country Albums Chart, amassing 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.
