Other nominees include Jelly Roll, Luke Combs and Hardy.

Lainey Wilson made the 2022 CMA Awards a very special night for her and her dad.

The 30-year-old musician and Yellowstone actress hit the red carpet with her dad, Brian, on Wednesday night (November 9) at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.

Just last month, Brian suffered a stroke, following an infection that cost him an eye, which makes him being at the event much more special.

“My daddy is going to walk the CMAs carpet with me,” Lainey told the NY Post in an interview. “He was sick [with a fungal infection caused by diabetic ketoacidosis] this summer, and we didn’t think that he was gonna make it. He spent two weeks in ICU and a few weeks in a rehab facility. But he has been working really hard to get to the point where he can walk me on the carpet.”

Wynonna Judd, Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde, Lindsay Ell, Elle King and husband Dan Tooker, Little Big Town, Lady A, and Lainey‘s Yellowstone co-star Cole Hauser were also seen at the event.

FYI: Little Big Town‘s Karen Fairchild wore Alaia, and her bandmate Kimberly Schlapman wore Azzi & Osta.
