Man, you simply can’t make anyone glad, are you able to?
Look, there’s A LOT to complain regarding the ACM Awards… Previous Dominion once more? That Rascal Flatts Backstreet Boys monstrosity, however we’re in a WAY higher place than we have been a number of years again.
But it surely looks as if winners are already getting a bit stale for nation music followers. First, followers have been bored with Chris Stapleton successful. And now they’re sick of Lainey Wilson successful?
Let’s dive into it…
Lainey Wilson had a sweep on the ACM Awards. She took residence Feminine Artist of the 12 months, Artist-Songwriter of the 12 months, Album of the 12 months, and the famed Entertainer of the 12 months for the second consecutive yr. With this EOTY win, she simply grew to become the primary lady in over a decade to have received Entertainer of the 12 months two years in a row. The final lady to attain this was Taylor Swift, who received the consideration in 2011 and 2012.
She’s “kicking down barn doorways,” as she’d say.
Wilson was additionally honored that she received the ACM Triple Crown after his EOTY win final yr. The ACM Awards famous that she’s the primary lady to attain this milestone since The Chicks.
“Wilson is the primary solo lady to attain the ACM Triple Crown Award in a three-year span and the primary artist since The Chicks (1998-2000) to qualify for the ACM Triple Crown in that timeframe.”
After accepting her award and taking a number of moments to replicate, she before everything acknowledged her colleagues who have been additionally nominated for the distinguished award.
“Thanks a lot. I really like each single one among y’all on this class. You took me out on the highway, requested me to be on songs, supported me in each means you possibly can.”
Speak about a category act.
It was an enormous evening for Wilson to say the least, and it’s extra {hardware} so as to add to her expansive wall of awards and accolades that she’s racked up since her breakout yr. Another large honors that Wilson has acquired embody the CMA Award for New Artist of the 12 months, Feminine Vocalist of the 12 months, Entertainer of the 12 months, and a Grammy Award for Finest Nation Album with Bell Backside Nation.
Wilson is the definition of an entertainer. Whereas she considers herself a songwriter first, not many artists get on stage, run round, nail each be aware, and ensure they make their followers really feel seen and beloved each evening they hit the stage. Whereas most of nation music sees how she’s altering the sport, some followers weren’t so ecstatic for the Louisiana native after her massive evening, and particularly after her EOTY win.
Social media started to pontificate after she received her second EOTY award, noting they’re over the “Lainey Wilson present.” And whereas I’ll simply assume it’s principally Kelsea Ballerini followers, I’m unsure what the fuss is about this as a result of she is blazing a path for ladies in nation music and is creating music that embraces the roots of nation music.
And I feel anybody upset about her successful is a wild take.
Additionally, THIS is what you all select to gripe about on social media? Can we be up in arms about Previous Dominion successful yr after yr? That’s a gaggle that shouldn’t be successful on the capability they’ve been. And particularly this yr, over unimaginable acts like Crimson Clay Strays and Flatland Cavalry? C’mon…
Wilson regularly releases new music, excursions nonstop, writes like a mad lady, and makes her followers really feel particular. This lady is past deserving of this second within the limelight, so go away her be.
Preserve the Lainey Wilson and Chris Stapleton award-winning hate away from me.
