Lainey Wilson got another win on Thursday night (May 16 2024) at the 2024 ACM Awards for female artist of the year after being named Record Breaker Award at Billboard‘s Country Power Players.
Coming on the stage at The Star in Frisco, Texas, Lainey Wilson who was dressed head-to-toe in an all-red cowboy getup shared her joy at receiving the award from country music icon Reba McEntire.
“Reba just gave me this thing!” she exclaimed.
While accepting the award, the star took her time to give flowers to her fellow nominees “Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney and Kacey Musgraves”, as well as all of the other pioneering women in the country genre who helped her get to where she is today.
“I just wanna take a minute and talk about the women in country music,” she said. “A lot of the women who were in the category specifically are some of my best friends.”
Wilson thanked Wynona Judd, who she said
“gives me devotionals every week,” before calling on the women in the audience to continue supporting one another. “We gotta do this more for each other,” she said. “Iron sharpens iron.”
The singer was also nominated for entertainer of the year, song of the year and music event of the year, which she won shortly after for her collaboration with Jelly Roll, “Save Me.”
