About Lainey Wilson
Country music trailblazer Lainey Wilson continues to take over the world, capturing the hearts of music fans, the excitement of the industry and the recognition of her peers, while keeping her boots firmly planted on the ground. Her monumental rise continues including winning four awards at the 60th Annual ACM Awards—Entertainer of the Year (her second consecutive win), Female Artist of the Year (her third consecutive win), Album of the Year (Whirlwind) and Artist-Songwriter of the Year—while her new single, "Somewhere Over Laredo," garnered over 1.16 million streams across platforms in the first 24 hours of its release (her biggest first day of streaming to date).
"Somewhere Over Laredo" is from the new deluxe version of Wilson’s award-winning album, Whirlwind, which will be released August 22 in celebration of the record’s one-year anniversary. In addition to Whirlwind’s original 14 songs, the extended edition will feature five additional tracks: “Somewhere Over Laredo,” “Bell Bottoms Up,” “King Ranch, King George, King James,” “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day” and “Peace, Love, and Cowboys.”
The 16x ACM, 9x CMA and Grammy Award-winner and Grand Ole Opry member is a prolific, sought-after songwriter who has scored eight #1 hits including “4x4xU," “Wildflowers And Wild Horses," “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. Wilson’s on-stage performances triumph from sold-out tours across America, Australia and Europe to highly coveted music festivals such as Stagecoach, Lollapalooza and Watershed. She is currently in the midst of her sold-out Whirlwind World Tour, which spans across Europe and North America.
