Lainey Wilson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
According to Cowboys and Indians magazine, Lainey Wilson just closed out her landmark year with a sold out, two hour arena blowout at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on December 7, wrapping her 2025 live show run during NFR with fringe, bling, hydraulic lifts, and a career victory lap that underscored how every single, every award, and every ticket went her way this year. American Songwriter reports that the finale turned into a Christmas moment when she brought Shane Smith and the Saints back out for a lush duet of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, a seasonal capstone to her October release Peace Love and Cowboys Holiday Edition, which features a posthumous claymation style duet with Bing Crosby on Let It Snow and a cover of George Straits Christmas Cookies, signaling that Wilson is quietly building a long game as a holiday perennial, not just a touring force.
Backstage Country details how that Vegas run also fed the Lainey lore: in one especially viral moment she pulled a young fan onstage dressed up like her fiancé former Pittsburgh Steelers player Devlin Duck Hodges, a winking nod to the engagement he staged earlier this year on the porch of George Jones old Franklin estate and a reminder that her personal life now plays in the same arena as her music. Clips of the boy in the ball cap and cowboy fit raced across TikTok and Instagram, and while fan chatter is buzzing about a 2026 wedding, outlets including Backstage Country describe the date as unannounced and any specific timing as speculative only.
On the business and prestige front, MusicRow and Cafe Nashville note that Wilson has been locked in as one of the marquee country names for the 2026 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, a crossover booking that cements her as a festival headliner beyond the Nashville circuit, while Cafe Nashville and That Eric Alper report that CBS has tapped her as a main stage headliner alongside Jason Aldean and Bailey Zimmerman for New Years Eve Live Nashvilles Big Bash, positioning her in front of a national TV audience as Nashville rings in 2026. Rutherford Source adds that back on Lower Broadway her Bell Bottoms Up bar is marketing ticketed New Years Eve packages, underscoring that she is now not only a touring and recording star but a downtown hospitality brand.
Parade magazine captures the pop culture side of the moment, highlighting her recent guest spot on ESPNs ManningCast during Dolphins versus Steelers, where she leaned into duck calls and playful banter with Peyton and Eli Manning, trading on her history co hosting the CMA Awards with Peyton and keeping herself in front of sports viewers who may only vaguely know her as the Yellowstone singer. Social media reactions to the appearance, as reflected in Parade and assorted X and TikTok chatter, framed it as classic Lainey equal parts small town goofball and arena headliner.
Finally, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum continues to run Lainey Wilson Tough as Nails, the career spanning exhibit that opened in July and is still drawing fans this week, a museum level stamp that turns these last few days of festival announcements, Vegas spectacles, TV bookings, and New Years Eve planning into more than just a hot streak they are the connective tissue of a biographical pivot, locking Lainey Wilson in as one of country musics defining artists of this era.
