Lainey Wilson Ignites Graceland with Elvis-Inspired Christmas Performance

Nov 30, 2023, 2:43 PM | Updated: 2:47 pm

  • Country musician Lainey Wilson delivered a special Christmas performance at Elvis Presley’s home, Graceland.
  • The singer performed the Elvis classic “Santa Claus Is Back in Town.”
  • Wilson’s performance was part of a festive special for the “She’s Gone Country” series.

So, country singer Lainey Wilson decided to amp up the Christmas magic by performing right in the king of rock ‘n’ roll’s home, Graceland! That’s right, she belted out the Elvis classic, “Santa Claus Is Back in Town”, and I gotta say, it’s tough to decide who was more charming, Wilson or old Saint Nick himself! She made sure to sprinkle some of that country dust on Elvis’ song for the holiday special of the “She’s Gone Country” series. I mean, if Santa’s bringing us performances like these, I’d say he can come to town anytime!
