Louisiana’s very own country music sensation, Lainey Wilson, has added yet another prestigious accolade to her growing list of achievements. On Sunday, February 18, 2024, Wilson was honored as the Female Country Artist of the Year at the People’s Choice Awards, a significant recognition coming hot on the heels of her recent Grammy win for Best Country Album with “Bell Bottom Country.”
Wilson’s triumphant Grammy victory and her latest People’s Choice Award underscore her rising star in the country music scene. “Bell Bottom Country” has captivated audiences and critics alike, further cementing her status as a leading figure in the genre.
But the accolades are just one part of Wilson’s whirlwind year. The singer-songwriter is not slowing down, as she announced plans for an extensive tour titled “Country’s Cool Again.” This tour is set to dazzle fans in at least 30 cities, with stops including her hometown of Monroe, Louisiana, Lubbock, Texas, and Southhaven, Mississippi. The tour promises to showcase Wilson’s dynamic performance style and her deep connection with country music roots.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Wilson has expressed a keen interest in continuing her role on the hit television series “Yellowstone,” where she portrays the character Abby. Despite the show’s temporary shutdown due to the Hollywood Strikes, Wilson remains eager to return to the screen. “I’m ready for it, I’ll tell you that,” Wilson remarked at the Grammy Awards red carpet. She has already reached out to “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan, signaling her readiness to jump back into action as soon as the call comes.
“Yellowstone” fans have reason to celebrate, as rumors have been circulating about the show resuming production this spring. Paramount has confirmed that “Yellowstone” will deliver its final episodes to audiences in November, although the specifics of the production schedule remain under wraps.
