Country star Lainey Wilson performs at the Cowboys' Thanksgiving halftime show

Wilson recently made headlines at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards held at The Star in Frisco in May.

She took home the biggest award of the night: Entertainer of the Year. The win secured what the ACM calls her “triple crown,” as she was also named 2021 Artist of the Year and New Artist of the Year. On the same evening she was also named Artist of the Year for the second year in a row.

“I remember as a little girl climbing off our roof and watching the planes fly over our little town of 200,” Wilson said with tears in her eyes as she accepted her third award that evening. “I would dream of being up there on one of those planes. I still feel like that little girl.”

Now she gets to take the stage at Thanksgiving.
