16x ACM, 12x CMA and Grammy Award-winner Lainey Wilson is featured on the current cover of People Magazine in celebration of her groundbreaking career.
In this week's People cover story, the country superstar opens up about love, mental health and her dreams beyond music.
Wilson reflects on balancing fame with her personal life and staying grounded through therapy and family support.
"I feel like I have the best of both worlds," Wilson tells the entertainment magazine in this week's cover story. "I get to be the songwriter and businesswoman, and then I get to take the hat off every now and then and be Lainey the sister, the friend, the daughter, the fiancée."
The recognition arrives during a period of non-stop activity for Wilson, who is the subject of a new in-depth documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool, set for release on April 22 on Netflix. She will headline Stagecoach (April 25) and JazzFest (May 1) this spring and is nominated for seven awards at the upcoming ACM Awards, including Entertainer of the Year.
Wilson also recently made her film acting debut in Universal's adaptation of Colleen Hoover's Reminders of Him, was selected as one of USA Today's 2026 Women of the Year, and released her new song, "Can't Sit Still."
