In her acceptance speech, Wilson expressed her gratitude for the women in country music who have supported and inspired her throughout her career. She specifically mentioned the women in her category, many of whom are her close friends and mentors.

“It’s about lifting each other up and speaking life over each other. We’ve got to do that for each other,” Wilson said. “Iron sharpens iron. This one is for all those women who do that.”

With her powerful voice, infectious energy, and heartfelt lyrics, Lainey Wilson is undoubtedly a rising star in the country music scene. And with her latest win at the ACM Awards, it’s clear that she is just getting started on her path to superstardom.
