 Lainey Wilson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lainey Wilson has been at the heart of the country music conversation this week with several major developments capturing both industry headlines and fan excitement. Just today, Wilson debuted the cinematic visual for her latest single, Somewhere Over Laredo, directed by TK McKamy, who is known for his work with Tim McGraw and Reba McEntire. The video, which takes viewers “through a rabbit hole of nostalgia,” draws inspiration from the Wizard of Oz and features Wilson’s own dog, Hippie Mae, adding a personal touch. The track itself, co-written with Trannie Anderson, Dallas Wilson, and Andy Albert, serves as a nod to the timeless classic Somewhere Over the Rainbow and is confirmed to appear on the newly announced deluxe edition of her album Whirlwind, which will release on August 22 via BBR Music Group and BMG Nashville, as reported by Country Standard Time and iHeartRadio.

On June 17, Parade and MusicRow highlighted the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s announcement of a dedicated exhibition, Lainey Wilson: Tough as Nails, opening July 18 and running until June 2026 in Nashville. This exhibition will trace Lainey's journey from her Louisiana roots to her present-day stardom, showcasing childhood memorabilia, stage outfits, and details that underscore her resilience and singular ascent in the genre. The museum will also host a Songwriter Session on July 19, spotlighting Wilson’s frequent collaborators.

Meanwhile, anticipation is building for her 2025 Whirlwind World Tour, which kicks off in Europe this March before returning to North America in May. Taste of Country and Hometown Country Music provided details on international stops that include the U.K., France, Denmark, and more, with fan club presales and general ticket sales already making waves within her base. The tour supports her album Whirlwind, currently nominated for Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Opening acts such as Ernest, Muscadine Bloodline, and Kaitlin Butts are set to join her along the way.

There are no major new controversies or negative press, but last year, Wilson took to social media to warn fans about fake ads using her name to sell weight loss gummies, a move that only reinforced her genuine, approachable image. According to reports from major country outlets and sources like iHeartRadio and Parade, Wilson’s present momentum, between high-profile artistic releases, industry recognition, and global touring, continues to cement her as one of contemporary country music’s defining stars.
