The stars have aligned for singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson, whose unique and authentic style of country music has made her one of the most buzzed-about new artists in the genre.
The Louisiana-born artist was honoured as breakout artist of the year at the CMT Artists of the Year special, airing Friday on CMT. Hitmakers Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Carly Pearce, Cody Johnson and Walker Hayes were also named artists of the year and Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson received the CMT artist of a lifetime award during the pre-taped show.
Wilson has even more excitement on the way this fall, heading into the Country Music Association Awards in November as the leading nominee in her first year ever to be nominated. Wilson is only the fourth artist in the history of the CMAs to earn six nominations in her first year, following Glen Campbell, Brad Paisley and Kacey Musgraves.
Pearce, meanwhile, has been reflecting on her past year, which was anchored by her critically acclaimed album "29: Written in Stone" coming out in 2021. She was named female vocalist of the year by both the CMA and the Academy of Country Music and her duet with Ashley McBryde, "Never Wanted to Be That Girl," became an award-winning No. 1 country hit. She joined the Grand Ole Opry last year and will be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame.
They are teaming up for a new remix of "Y'All Life," out Friday, which they will debut on the TV special.
