NBC’s Nashville Star contest has been won by a mother of 5 from the state of Texas named Melissa Lawson.
She beat out a fellow Texan Gabe Garcia who came in a close second, and Iowa native Shawn Mayer for third.
So what exactly does she win? How about a recording contract with Warner Bros, a brand spanking new Toyota Tundra, and her new single played on every country radio station known to man.
She also won the honor to sing her single, which was produced by John Rich, one half of Big and Rich, at the summer Olympics on August 12th.
Throughout the season, Lawson has managed to drop quite a lot of weight, managing to lose 45lbs since the show began.
