Lainey Wilson: The Belle of the CMA Awards Ball
Speaking of country royalty, let’s talk about Lainey Wilson. Fresh off her big win at the 57th annual CMA Awards, where she snagged the coveted Entertainer of the Year title, Wilson is riding high. She also took home Album of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year, among other accolades. Basically, she’s the Christmas gift that keeps on giving.
Amy Grant’s Triumphant Return to Music
Now, let’s chat about Amy Grant. Earlier this year, she announced her return to music after a decade-long hiatus, following a bicycle accident in 2022 that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. In March, she released “Trees We’ll Never See,” followed by “What You Heard.” It’s like she never left, and we’re all here for it.
Last December, Grant was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors, and she’s been on a journey of recovery that’s both inspiring and heartwarming. She’s been embracing the emotional rollercoaster that comes with healing, and honestly, we’re all rooting for her.
Her last full studio album of original songs was 2013’s “How Mercy Looks From Here,” followed by a festive “Tennessee Christmas” in 2016. And let’s not forget the 2022 collaborative Christmas album with her husband, Vince Gill, titled “Christmas Traditions.”
Trisha Yearwood’s Festive Tunes and Latest Hits
Trisha Yearwood isn’t one to be outdone in the Christmas department, either. She released a Christmas album with her husband, Garth Brooks, in 2016 called “Christmas Together.” Her latest original album, “Every Girl,” hit the shelves in 2019, and it’s been a fan favorite ever since.
