Full List of Country Music Winners

Lainey Wilson is up for three of the five country music Grammy categories, topped only by Tyler Childers‘ four. Winners for Country Song, Country Solo Performance, Country Album and more are included here.

All but one of these Grammy categories will be decided during a pre-show telecast. Typically, Best Country Album gets the TV time but there’s no hard and fast rule. That means you may not get to see your favorite star unless you watch he/she/they win online.
