Los Angeles, California (September 21, 2024)- Country music superstar Lainey Wilson is having a whirlwind of a year, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon.

Wilson is also nominated for a whopping four awards at the upcoming 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").

This recognition comes on the heels of her critically acclaimed album, Whirlwind, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart, her highest charting album yet.
