About Lainey Wilson
Lainey Wilson continues one of country music’s most unstoppable runs. Her new song, “Phone, Keys, Wallet,” finds Wilson embracing the messy, fast-moving parts of life and the person who chooses to love her through it all. Written during the final leg of the Whirlwind World Tour, the track features John Mayer on guitar, who joined the session after hearing the song through a phone speaker at Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles. “Phone, Keys, Wallet” follows “Can’t Sit Still” and “Younger You,” a special collaboration with Miley Cyrus, and adds to another landmark year for the Louisiana native, who recently headlined Stagecoach, is the subject of the Netflix documentary Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool and kicked off a run of stadium shows with Chris Stapleton.
Last year, 2x CMA and 2x ACM Entertainer of the Year hosted the 59th CMA Awards – the first solo female host since Reba McEntire in 1991 – and released the deluxe version of her album Whirlwind, featuring her #1 single “Somewhere Over Laredo.” A sought-after songwriter, the 12x CMA, 16x ACM, Grammy winner and Grand Ole Opry member has earned nine #1s including “4x4xU,” the 3x Platinum “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 4x Platinum “Heart Like A Truck,” plus collaborations with Jelly Roll and HARDY. Moreover, Wilson has worked with artists including Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton and Post Malone, acted in Paramount’s Yellowstone and Universal’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, and launched her fifth collection with Wrangler, as well as her own boot (Golden West Boots) and jewelry lines (The Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection).
