Sony Music Publishing Nashville announces the renewal of its global publishing administration agreement with Lainey Wilson.
Sony Music Publishing Nashville has announced the renewal of its global publishing administration agreement with country superstar Lainey Wilson. The deal extends the company’s longstanding partnership with the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter, which first began in 2017.
“Lainey Wilson is one of the most inspiring songwriters the world has ever known,” said Sony Music Publishing Nashville Vice President, Creative, Anna Weisband. “She is continuing to redefine the country music genre with every song she writes. I am so proud to be on her team and to continue this journey with her — I can’t wait to see what she does next!”
One of the most prolific artists and songwriters in country music today, Lainey Wilson has numerous accolades under her belt. The CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year winner has achieved seven #1 hits, including “Watermelon Moonshine,” and the 2x platinum hit, “Heart Like A Truck,” as well as award-winning collaborations with Cole Swindell, Jelly Roll, and HARDY.
After winning her first-ever Best Country Album Grammy this year for Bell Bottom Country, Wilson released her latest album, WHIRLWIND, earlier this year. That clenched her second consecutive Best Country Album nomination at the 2025 Grammy Awards on February 2. Wilson also became a triple threat as a singer, songwriter, and actress, with her recent acting debut in Paramount’s hit series, Yellowstone.
“I couldn’t be happier to continue my partnership with Sony Music Publishing,” said Lainey Wilson. “I’ll always be a songwriter first and I appreciate having such a supportive team that agrees it all starts with the songs.”
Among her many accolades, Wilson has earned nine ACM awards, nine CMA awards, and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry this year. She was also named Female Country Artist of the Year at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards and took home Country Song of the Year with “Heart Like A Truck” at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
