Lainey Wilson and Brad Paisley have been slated to perform at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards, which will air on Sunday, February 2, starting at 8 PM ET on CBS TV.

Lainey and the GRAMMYS posted the news on Instagram, writing, "@laineywilson will join our roster of performers at this year’s #GRAMMYs telecast. Watch the GRAMMY Awards this Sunday, Feb. 2 at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on @CBStv and @paramountplus."

Many fans reacted to the news, including one who wrote, "Let's Go! Another fan commented, "Sounding good. I’ll be watching!" One more fan said, "I hope she sings good horses."

Paisley posted the same, and his fans reacted as well. One fan commented, "Make us proud Bradley, I will be watching." Another Paisley die-hard wrote, "It’s about time you’re on TV again!" One more fan said, "HANDSOME CHOICE @recordingacademy."

"We Waiting"

Wilson recently did an interview with Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie, who is also a good friend of hers. The interview was for CMT, and Lainey let it slip that she is "waiting" for a proposal from her boyfriend, Devlin "Duck" Hodges.

Bunnie asks in the clip CMT posted to their Instagram, "Can we manifest something for 2025 together?" Lainey says, "You know I am all about that. I want to spend more time with you and Jelly. Me and Duck miss you all." Bunnie says, "We keep saying that I am manifesting for you and Duck to get married." Wilson turns her head as Bunnie says, "I'm putting that in the air. Duck, you better come up with it, baby. No pressure." Lainey quips, "No pressure. I might have to propose to him, we waiting." Bunnie says, "No, Duck's gonna do it. I can feel it." Lainey replies, "I like that."

In the same clip, the country superstar also reveals that the happiest moment she had in 2024 was when she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.
