Lainey Wilson's Monster Year: Holidays, Hits, and Headlining

Lainey Wilson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lainey Wilson has spent the past few days turning a monster year into a full blown era. According to a December 8 report from Country Chatter, she just debuted a high profile new holiday video for her version of Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow featuring none other than Bing Crosby, created in partnership with Hersheys and animated to pair her modern twang with a classic Christmas icon. Country Chatter notes the track anchors her new Peace Love and Cowboys Holiday Edition EP, out now on multiple physical formats, signaling that Wilson is firmly planting a flag in the lucrative country holiday lane while extending the Whirlwind brand into seasonal territory.

That same piece reports she is fresh off a nationally televised appearance at the 99th Annual Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade, where she performed a medley tying her holiday material to Somewhere Over Laredo, and is set for a Christmas themed Grand Ole Opry spot, reinforcing her image as both mainstream headliner and Nashville traditionalist. Country Chatter also confirms a milestone radio story: Somewhere Over Laredo has just become her ninth Number 1 at country radio in the U.S., after also topping charts in the U.K. and Canada, and the song is now up for both Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, with Wilson also nominated in Best Country Duo Group Performance for Trailblazer alongside Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert.

On the rock side, Country Now reports she has jumped genres to join Aerosmith and Yungblud on a new version of Wild Woman, with Yungblud calling her the wild woman they needed and Wilson telling Apple Musics Zane Lowe the collaboration grew out of meeting Steven Tyler at the 2025 Grammys and performing at his Jam for Janie benefit. Whiskey Riff adds that fan reaction online has been strong, praising her as the perfect addition to the rock track.

In Las Vegas, Country Now and Taste of Country both spotlight a viral moment from her December 7 T Mobile Arena show during National Finals Rodeo, where she pulled a young fan dressed as her fiance Devlin Duck Hodges onstage during Yesterday All Day Every Day, joking to the crowd that she is marrying a man named Duck and asking them to keep him in their prayers. Those outlets also reiterate verified details of their February engagement and ongoing wedding planning, while her team continues to push extended Whirlwind tour dates into 2026, including new Australia and New Zealand shows.

The business machine rolls on too. Country Chatter notes she is coming off a dominant CMA and ACM run, multiple fashion and boot line launches, and a feature in US Weeklys Humankind issue tied to her Heart Like A Truck Fund, while the Des Moines Register just announced her as a 2026 Iowa State Fair Grandstand headliner alongside Rod Stewart, underlining her transition from rising star to reliable festival closer.

Any wedding dates, film production timelines for her upcoming Reminders of Him feature debut, or specific set lists beyond what these outlets have described remain in the realm of speculation for now, with no new confirmed details from primary sources in the past few days.
