About Lainey Wilson
Wilson released the new deluxe version of her award-winning album, Whirlwind, this summer in celebration of the record's one-year anniversary. In addition to Whirlwind’s original 14 songs, the extended edition features five additional tracks: “Bell Bottoms Up,” “King Ranch, King George, King James,” “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day," “Peace, Love, and Cowboys" and her current single, “Somewhere Over Laredo,” which garnered over 1.16 million streams in its first 24 hours (Wilson’s biggest first day of streaming to date) and continues to climb the country radio charts.
The 9x CMA, 16x ACM and Grammy Award-winner and Grand Ole Opry member is a prolific, sought-after songwriter who has scored eight #1 hits including “4x4xU," “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x Platinum Certified “Heart Like A Truck," in addition to award-winning collaborations with Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma” for the Twisters movie and has collaborated with artists such as Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton, Post Malone and more. She will also make her feature film acting debut in next year’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, after first acting in Paramount’s hit television series, "Yellowstone."

She is currently in the midst of her sold-out Whirlwind World Tour, which spans Europe and North America.
