Lainey Wilson chats with Houston Life ahead of her ‘dream’ appearance in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
HOUSTON – Country music star Lainey Wilson has had a whirlwind year — and just a week after winning the CMA Artist of the Year award, Best Female Artist, and Album of the Year, perhaps it is no coincidence that the album is titled ‘Whirlwind.’
Watch Lainey’s chat with Houston Life co-host Derrick Shore to find out why performing at this year‘s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade is a dream gig for her, and learn how she plans to spend the Thanksgiving holiday after she finishes performing at Herald Square.
99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade airs Nov. 27 on NBC and Peacock at 8:30 a.m.
