From Holiday EP to CMA Host: Lainey Wilson is Country Music’s Unstoppable Force

Country music sensation Lainey Wilson is making headlines once again, not only with a festive new music release but also by continuing her incredible streak of career-defining achievements. Today marks the digital release of her brand-new 3-song EP, Peace, Love, & Cowboys (Holiday Edition), offering fans a fresh take on her hit title track, a heartwarming duet of “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” with the legendary Bing Crosby, and a spirited rendition of George Strait’s “Christmas Cookies.” For collectors, physical versions of the EP, including 12-inch vinyl, 7-inch vinyl, and CD, are available for pre-order and hit shelves on November 21st.

Hosting Duties and Award-Winning Streak

This holiday treat is just the latest triumph in what has been a whirlwind year for Wilson, who Variety has hailed as “The reigning current standard-bearer for women in country.” She’s gearing up to co-host the 59th Annual CMA Awards next month, where she’s also tied as the most-nominated artist with a staggering six nods, including Entertainer of the Year. This follows her impressive showing at the 60th ACM Awards this past spring, where she snagged four awards, including her second consecutive Entertainer of the Year title. Her critically acclaimed album, Whirlwind, recently received a deluxe edition release, further cementing her musical impact. Tracks like “Somewhere Over Laredo” have garnered immense praise, with Billboard noting its “commanding, dynamic vocal performances.”

Global Touring and Film Debut

Beyond the awards and new music, Wilson’s global presence is undeniable. Her extensive Whirlwind World Tour has seen her play sold-out shows at iconic venues like New York’s Madison Square Garden and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. This fall will see her continue touring across the US, before she heads overseas next year for an expansive headline run across Australia and New Zealand. Fans also have the opportunity to catch her performing her new holiday songs live at the Grand Ole Opry on December 10th. Looking ahead, she’s confirmed to headline the Stagecoach Festival next spring and will even make her feature film acting debut in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him.

From her numerous #1 hits and collaborations with artists like Jelly Roll and HARDY, to her successful ventures in fashion with Wrangler and her own jewelry line, Lainey Wilson is truly at the pinnacle of her career.
