Country Music Association Award Winner and Louisiana Music Ambassador Lainey Wilson picked up another honor this weekend in her hometown of Baskin.
The rising country music star was on hand for the unveiling of Northeast Louisiana Music Trail markers dedicated to her beginnings in music. Additionally, a portion of Louisiana Highway 15 through the Village of Baskin, from LA Highway 577 north to the parish line at Big Creek, was declared the “Lainey Wilson Highway.” Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser, who named Lainey Wilson a Louisiana Music Ambassador in 2022, helped mark the occasion with the country megastar.
In 2022, Lainey Wilson became just the fourth artists to garner six nominations in her first year at the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards. She would take home awards for New Artist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the year. Last year, Wilson was honored with the Entertainer of the Year Award at the 57th
