Lainey Wilson: The breakout star at 56th Annual CMA Awards

Lainey Wilson

If there was a breakout star at the 56th Annual CMA Awards last night (11/9), it was Lainey Wilson.

Lainey Wilson

Lainey went into the show with six nominations, her first CMA nods in her career

Lainey Wilson

and she won both the New Artist of the Year award and the Female Vocalist Award.

Lainey Wilson

Wilson had some tough competition in the Female Vocalist category

Lainey Wilson

The other nominees were Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Ashley McBryde, and last year’s winner Carly Pearce.

Lainey Wilson

When she won, she was shocked and speechless when she got to the podium

Lainey Wilson

but as she told us backstage after her win, she wasn’t the only nominee happy about her win.

Lainey Wilson

“I think they’re really happy for me. I mean, Miranda (Lambert) just came over, and Ashley (McBryde) too, and they have tears in their eyes. They are just as excited for me as I would have been for them.”

Lainey Wilson

“It’s something really special, and no, in a million years expected it, but I’ll take it. I’ve been here a long time working hard, and they (her fellow nominees) know that about me too, and I think they’re really happy for me.”
