ACM Awards: Lainey Wilson talk about her upcoming album 'Whirlwind'
Lainey Wilson speaks about the 59th ACM Awards and her upcoming album 'Whirlwind.'
The "Whirlwind" career of Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association and Grammy-winning country performer Lainey Wilson shows no signs of slowing down as the Louisiana native is hitting the road worldwide for eight months in 2025.
Among the three-dozen-plus dates she has scheduled are Nashville, Tennessee; Los Angeles, Austin, Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Denver and, across the pond, Zurich and Paris.
The tour, which features support from artists including Ernest, Muscadine Bloodline, Kaitlin Butts, Maddox Batson, Drake Milligan, Lauren Watkins and Zach Meadows, highlights the broadest embrace yet of the ever-narrowing gap between mainstream country's celebrated traditions and modern stylings, plus Americana and honky-tonk's surging popularity.

Nine Inch Nails announces Peel It Back world tour: Here's what we know
Whirlwind Tour follows big year for Lainey Wilson
After picking up her first Grammy for Best Country Album for 2023's "Bell Bottom Country" last year, Wilson will return to the stage in Los Angeles on Feb. 2 as a highlighted performer. Her 2024 album "Whirlwind" is nominated on Sunday evening for potential back-to-back wins.
The 2024 summer release of the critically-acclaimed album, "Whirlwind", earned the performer her best first-week sales ever as the record debuted at #8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The album features her current Top 5 country radio single '4x4xU,' which is geared up to be her eighth #1 hit.
These achievements occurred during a busy 2024, where she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry, co-hosted the 58th annual CMA Awards alongside Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, and headlined the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving halftime show as part of The Salvation Army's 134th Red Kettle Campaign.

That success follows her being 2023's ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year, supported by seven No. 1 country hits, including "Watermelon Moonshine" and the double-platinum-certified "Heart Like A Truck." She has also collaborated with established male country stars Cole Swindell ("Never Say Never"), Jelly Roll ("Save Me"), and HARDY ("Wait in the Truck") in a trio of award-winning collaborations.
Also growing as a star on silver and television screens, Wilson made her acting debut in season five of Paramount's hit series Yellowstone. She also recorded the Academy Award-shortlisted "Out of Oklahoma" for the 2024-released film "Twisters."

Photo by Camden Hall/UPI | License Photo June 6 (UPI) -- Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley were among the performers during Day 1 of the 52nd annual CMA Fest, which airs on ABC June 26. The festival kicked off Thursday and winds down Sunday in Nashville. The television special spans three hours and will be hosted by Cody Johnson and Ashley McBryde. Wilson wore a beige cowboy hat and vest, while Langley wore a one-shouldered black dress with matching gloves. Other performers during the event's first day included Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, and Nashville actor Charles Esten. "CMA Fest is more than a festival -- it's a celebration of the connection between artists and fans, featuring hundreds of performances and collaborations across multiple stages, once-in-a-lifetime moments, and the vibrant energy of Nashville, all fueling something bigger than the event itself," an official synopsis reads. The television special will stream on Hulu June 27.

Indy Pride plans two-day event, despite tough climate
Indy Pride is adding an extra day to the annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community despite a tough political climate. Why it matters: It's the 30th anniversary for Indy Pride and organizers say folks wanted Pride weekend to truly feel like a whole weekend-long celebration — a needed balm for the anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric that's gotten louder over the last year. What they're saying:"You can feel it in the energy," said Tina Robb, Pride's marketing director. "You can feel that people aren't wanting to celebrate as much this year. They're a little scared." "It's hard, but we're going to do it. We're going to celebrate. This is our month to be loud and proud." The big picture: Once-proud corporate America is pivoting. Companies big and small across the U.S. have pulled their support for some Pride events amid a larger rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Mastercard, Citi, Pepsi, Nissan and PwC pulled sponsorship of NYC Pride and Minneapolis' Twin Cities Pride rejected Target's sponsorship dollars, citing the company's DEI rollbacks. State of play: "Once the DEI announcement came out, we started to see community sponsors and major sponsors that could no longer participate with Indy Pride," Robb said. "It wasn't angry. It wasn't anything hostile. It was … it is what it is. "It's disappointing and upsetting, but there's always support out there." Robb would not list which sponsors backed out but said they've been able to fill in gaps and the show will go on. Zoom in: Pride weekend starts Saturday, June 14, with the annual parade along Mass Ave. Robb said that event is largely unchanged, but will be smaller this year than last. They're expecting about 200 participating groups, rather than the 250 they had last year. The traditional festival and concert that follows the parade is back, but in a new spot and will last for two days. What's new: The location. Construction near Military Park where festival vendors usually set up forced Indy Pride to look for a new home. "Since it's our 30th anniversary, we said, 'Why don't we connect things back to the history?'" Robb said. The earliest Pride celebrations were on Monument Circle, so that's where the free two-day festival will be this year. The ticketed concert, called Word of Mouth, is moving to the American Legion Mall on Saturday and Sunday. It'll be headlined by Natasha Bedingfield Saturday and Tinashe Sunday. If you go: The festivities start at 10am June 14 for the free parade on Mass Ave. The free Celebration on the Circle runs noon to 5pm June 14 and 15. Word of Mouth is 2-10pm both days. Tickets are $42 for one day or $62 for both. Pro tip: Robb said volunteers get a free ticket to Word of Mouth and attendees at one of the earlier Pride month events can get a discount of 20% off tickets by asking at the Indy Pride Inc. tent.
