Lainey Wilson
Lainey Wilson, known for her unique blend of traditional country roots and modern influences, Lainey broke through with hits like “Things a Man Oughta Know” and “Never Say Never.” Wilson’s big break came when she signed with BBR Music Group (formerly Broken Bow Records) in 2018, and she quickly made a name for herself with her voice and songwriting ability.
She released two albums independently before her first major-label release, her 2021 album Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’. Her third album was a major turning point, earning her multiple accolades, including an Academy of Country Music (ACM) Award for New Female Artist of the Year. She followed up the hit record with 2022’s Bell Bottom Country, which was certified gold, and 2024’s Whirlwind.
In addition to her success in music, Lainey played a role on Paramount’s Yellowstone as Abby.
Since 2021, Wilson has dated boyfriend Devlin “Duck” Hodges, a former NFL player-turned-real estate agent. They made their red carpet debut at the ACM Awards in May 2023.
