Lainey Wilson Exhibit Opens at Country Music Hall

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will open an exhibit titled 'Lainey Wilson: Tough as Nails' on July 18, running through June 2026, to honor the Louisiana-born country star's journey from rural beginnings to global fame. The exhibit will display personal items such as Wilson's childhood saddle, custom belt buckle, stage outfits, journals, and memorabilia from her time as a Hannah Montana impersonator. Wilson described the exhibit as a dream come true and hopes it will inspire young artists, reflecting on her own formative visits to the museum. Museum CEO Kyle Young cited Wilson's perseverance, talent, and strong values as central to her story and the exhibit's focus. The exhibition will include a songwriter session featuring her collaborators. It also coincides with her recent ACM Awards wins and the release of her single 'Somewhere Over Laredo.'
