Fresh from a night of triumph at the 2025 CMA Awards, Lainey Wilson took center stage at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, delivering a performance that was equal parts festive and heartfelt. Decked out in a striking red fur poncho, she captivated the audience with her holiday twist on“Peace, Love and Cowboys”and her single“Somewhere Over Laredo.”The parade provided the perfect backdrop for her bright lipstick and energetic tunes, setting a romantic tone as couples danced below her platform.
But it wasn’t just the music that had fans buzzing. Lainey’s engagement to football player Devlin“Duck”Hodges has added another layer to her story. The country star joked about the potential for a traditional wedding dress, perhaps even stepping away from her signature bell-bottom style. With her upcoming tour to Australia and New Zealand in February, Lainey clearly knows how to balance her burgeoning career with personal milestones. It’s a whirlwind of excitement for the talented singer, and we can’t help but wonder what she’ll do next!
