Lainey Wilson Gushes Over Working With Jelly Roll: 'I'm So Thankful He's in Country Music' (Exclusive)

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The Academy of Country Music has announced some of the musicians, producers, engineers, venues and touring industry execs winners who will be celebrated at the 16th ACM Honors ceremony at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Aug. 23. The show serves as a music-industry-centric adjunct to the ACM Awards telecast that is globally webcast in the spring. The announcement of these winners precedes by a day the reveal of the big names that will receive special awards during the August program, along with forthcoming news of the show’s host and ticketing information. Jay Joyce, the producer for Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde and many other artists, was named producer of the year for a sixth time. Justin Niebank has an even longer-running streak — he’ll be awarded as audio engineer for a ninth time.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic It’s difficult to know whether Lainey Wilson would be as big a star as she’s recently become in the field of country music without the visibility boost she’s received from “Yellowstone.” The series began featuring her songs in season 2, a few years before Lainey was cast for a recurring role as a musician in season 5. The most likely answer: She’d probably be almost as big, even without the Taylor Sheridan factor. After all, it’s not a TV show that came up with the combination of country-rock singing chops, irresistible Louisiana accent and gosh-dang gung-ho that have captivated listeners to the point that, in short succession, she’s racked up four No. 1 Mediabase radio singles and been one of the leading winners at the CMA and ACM awards shows.

A picturesque blue sea and mountains served as a backdrop to the photo honoring Kunis ahead of their eighth wedding anniversary on July 4.

As "Yellowstone" prepares to wrap up the hit show after five seasons, Lainey Wilson is just as excited as fans to see how the series will end.  "I have realized that the TV world is even crazier than the music world," she said during an interview with People.  "I'm like, ‘Taylor Sheridan, you got to let me know what's going on, bro.’ I'm excited to see what happens.There’s no doubt the rest of season five is gonna be money." While the second half of the fifth season of "Yellowstone" is expected to premiere in November, the country star admitted she’s also in the dark about co-creator Sheridan’s plans for the series.  Wilson portrayed the singer Abby on the hit show "Yellowstone" for four episodes. The 30-year-old artist pointed out how "Yellowstone" has made a major impact in the western world and the music industry overall.  "What ‘Yellowstone’ has done for the western way of life has been a huge turning point," she said.
