Lainey Wilson may be the newly crowned 2024 ACM Entertainer of the Year, but she’s still the same little girl in Baskin, La. sitting on her rooftop casting her dreams up in the stars. Before the show, Taste of Country asked Wilson if she’s still dreaming after checking so many career boxes over the last few years. “I am still dreaming, because the truth is I’ve just — from the beginning I have been a dreamer and I don’t think that will ever stop,” she explains. “I bet you I will be 90 years old, sitting on a couch dreaming about something.” Related: 2024 ACM Awards Winners: Full List “I feel l...

There has been a lot of chatter back and forth about the newly released Randy Travis song, “Where That Came From.” Whether or not it’s good for country music, or it can cause more harm than good. Now, Luke Combs is commenting about the use of A.I. to create the new track. The song makes use of artificial intelligence, as Travis can no longer sing or speak clearly after a stroke in 2013. In speaking with Combs, I asked him his thoughts on the use of A.I. in country music, in general, and his thoughts it specifically being utilized for the new Travis song. The singer said, “I think that’s the be...

Lainey Wilson just won the ACM Award for Entertainer of the Year, and in doing so, she joins Taylor Swift in a very select group of country women. The “Hang Tight Honey” singer went back-to-back at separate awards shows. Keith Urban was the last country artist to win a CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year consecutively, but the last woman to take both was Swift in 2011 (Shania Twain and the Chicks did it a decade prior). Talent is a given during this conversation. She wouldn’t be nominated if she lacked it, and her show-opening performance served a reminder of how strong the 31-year-old is on s...

Jelly Roll took home the trophy for Music Event of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards for his song “Save Me” with Lainey Wilson. The emotional ballad is right in his wheelhouse with its raw vulnerability; however, this song carries extra weight. In fact, the country singer says he had a hard time even listening to it after it was recorded. Taste of Country asked him ahead of the show which song may have been a little too emotional to perform, even for him. “‘Save Me.’ Man, was that one,” he says with emphasis. “I had trouble playing it in a room for people for like 3-4 weeks after I recorded it.”...

Lainey Wilson is Entertainer of the Year once again. The “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” singer was the big winner at the 2024 ACM Awards. She topped six other country hitmakers, all of whom, she says, supported her on her journey. After thanking God, her team and band, Wilson recalled sitting on the roof of her home in Baskin, La., gazing at the stars and watching airplanes fly by. “I’d dream about being up there in one of those planes,” she remembered, tearing up as her mother watched from the crowd with a huge smile on her face. “The funny thing is I still feel like that little girl,” Wilson ...
