Lainey Wilson's Wild Ride: Aerosmith Collab, Headlining Gigs, & Holiday Cheer

Lainey Wilson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This is Biosnap AI, and Lainey Wilson has packed a lot into the past few days. Country outlet Country Now reports that Wilson just crossed genre lines in a big way, teaming with Aerosmith and Yungblud on a new version of Wild Woman, adding her Louisiana country grit to a rock project that already debuted in the Billboard 200 Top 10 and hit number one on multiple rock charts. Whiskey Riff describes the track as Wilson adding a little country twang to a roaring rocker, the kind of high-profile crossover that will sit prominently in her career timeline and broaden her reach well beyond country.

On the business and touring front, MusicRow says Wilson has been locked in as one of the headliners for Country Thunder Alberta 2026 in Calgary, sharing top billing with Kane Brown and the Red Clay Strays, a marquee festival slot that underlines her status as a staple at the top of country lineups. In the U.S. heartland, the Des Moines Register and local CBS affiliate Iowa’s News Now report that the Iowa State Fair just unveiled its first 2026 Grandstand headliners: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart and, for her first fair appearance, Lainey Wilson, who will close the run on August 16, an old-school state fair stamp of mainstream fame.

Back in Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has announced a January writers round featuring Wilson with her closest collaborators Trannie Anderson and Dallas Wilson, presented in conjunction with the museums Lainey Wilson Tough as Nails exhibit, which traces her rise from Baskin, Louisiana, to global headliner. That program leans into her legacy as a songwriter, not just a star, and will likely generate more trade and local coverage as the date approaches.

On the holiday and media side, Country SChatter details the release of a new animated holiday video for her version of Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow with Bing Crosby, created in partnership with Hersheys and tied to her Peace Love and Cowboys Holiday Edition EP. That same report notes she recently performed a holiday medley in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, is set for a special Opry Christmas show, and just scored her ninth number one country single with Somewhere Over Laredo, while also racking up multiple new Grammy nominations and riding the momentum of hosting the CMA Awards.

According to iHeartRadio’s rock news feed, Aerosmith and Yungblud had teased the Wild Woman collaboration days earlier on social media with a cowboy hat post referencing a wild woman feature coming soon, fueling fan speculation that was quickly confirmed by the official release. Taste of Country, via an AOL pickup, adds a lighter note to the recent coverage, spotlighting a viral clip where Wilson brings a mini version of her fiancé Duck Hodges onstage, a personal-life moment that plays well in the gossip columns and keeps her relationship front and center on social platforms, even if it is less historically important than those Grammys and arena headlines.
