LAINEY WILSON APPEARS ON “THE TONIGHT SHOW” AND PERFORMS CURRENT SINGLE “4X4XU”

NOMINATED FOR FOUR AWARDS AT 58TH ANNUAL CMA AWARDS

ACHIEVES HER BEST SALES WEEK EVER WITH NEW ALBUM WHIRLWIND, DEBUTS AT #8 ON ALL-GENRE BILLBOARD 200

September 11, 2024—On Tuesday night, Lainey Wilson appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to chat with Jimmy about her Whirlwind year and perform her current radio single “4x4xU.” Watch/share her performance HERE and watch her interview HERE. The 7x CMA Award-winner and reigning Entertainer of the Year is nominated for four awards at this year’s 58th annual CMA Awards: Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year (“Watermelon Moonshine”) and Music Video of the Year (“Wildflowers and Wild Horses”).

The nominations add to yet another outstanding year for Wilson, who released her new album, Whirlwind, last month via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville (stream/purchase here). Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Whirlwind earned Wilson 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

“One of country music’s brightest stars” —Billboard

“next-generation icon” —Newsweek

“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

“Lainey Wilson is the most exciting new artist in music, and transcends genres” —Spin

“her most unapologetically country album yet” —Vulture

“Fan-favorite country singer Lainey Wilson proved that she has a great personality to match her fantastic singing voice” —Parade

“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

“Whirlwind is kind of the Western sister of Bell Bottom Country,” says Wilson. “Since that album, I have gotten to experience so many new things and meet folks from different walks of life. Because of that, I’ve become a better songwriter, and I have more understanding. I feel like I’ve truly stepped into what it is that I’m called to be doing. Ironically, I found my path within all the craziness—and that’s the whirlwind.”

The album adds to an already triumphant career for Wilson, who, in just the past year, was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, three awards at the 59th annual ACM Awards and five awards at the 57th annual CMA Awards (being named Entertainer of the Year at both the ACMs and CMAs). Most recently, Wilson received two awards at the 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.

Known for her electric live performances, Wilson will continue to tour throughout the fall with her extensive “Country’s Cool Again” headline tour. See below for the complete tour itinerary, full details can be found at www.laineywilson.com/tour.
