About this listen
Lainey Wilson has been everywhere lately and the headlines just keep rolling in. This weekend, she’s all over the music news with the release of a deluxe version of her hit album “Whirlwind,” set to drop August 22 via BBR Music Group and BMG Nashville, and she’s just shared the new video for “Somewhere Over Laredo” which is already making waves online according to Country Standard Time. That’s not all—Taste of Country spotlights her new music video this week, hinting that it could leap straight to the top of country video rankings, a testament to her ever-rising star power.
Perhaps the most biographically significant update comes from the Country Music Hall of Fame announcing a major new exhibition, “Lainey Wilson Tough as Nails,” opening July 18 in Nashville and running through June 2026. The exhibit traces her journey from small-town Louisiana to global stardom, cementing her place in the country music pantheon and signaling her increasing cultural significance. The Hall’s press release details her roots, her early drive, and her growth into an artist with true staying power.
On the personal side, Wilson continues to champion up-and-comers, recently opening up to iHeartCountry about her friendship with rising star Ella Langley. After the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, where Langley scored multiple awards in her first year of nominations, Wilson described Langley as “like my little sister” and revealed she’d FaceTimed her the morning of the show to offer support—showing both her authenticity and her investment in the next generation of country talent.
She’s also still riding high from her sweep at the ACMs last month, where she took home Album of the Year for “Whirlwind” and confirmed her dominance on the contemporary country scene, as reported by TribLIVE. With her 2025 Whirlwind World Tour underway—currently racing across Europe before hitting North America at the end of May—People reports she’s been teasing fans with playful social media posts and creative promo videos, keeping her legion of followers engaged and excited.
On social media, Wilson recently warned fans to beware of fake weight loss gummy ads using her image, calling out scammers and urging her supporters to report the fraudulent campaigns, a story closely followed by Country Now. Lainey’s blend of vulnerability, hustle, and humor—on stage and off—continues to make her one of country music’s most dynamic and talked-about stars right now.
