About this listen
Lainey Wilson is absolutely everywhere right now and her recent surge is drawing nationwide attention. According to Country Music Nation, Lainey just made her anticipated film debut in the Universal Pictures adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, where she plays Amy, the caring coworker and confidante to lead character Kenna. The official trailer dropped this week and fan excitement is already bubbling for its March 2026 release. Her dialogue in the trailer hints at a deeper storyline, with the memorable line, “What’s your trauma?” showing off her acting chops for the first time in a major movie role. This move into film marks a significant expansion of her career beyond music.
But her entertainment blitz doesn’t stop there. Lainey is set to break barriers at the 59th annual CMA Awards on November 19, where she’ll be the show’s sole host—joining the short list of women who have handled hosting duties on their own. She’s featured in a new promo for the show that is getting attention across ABC, strutting onto an empty stage to set up “Country Music’s Biggest Night.” In true Lainey style, she swaps a ballgown for a neon pink pantsuit and promises an unforgettable opening, all set over her own track “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day” from her Whirlwind deluxe album. She’s been sharing behind-the-scenes moments on social, giving fans an all-access pass to the biggest awards night in country music.
Social media, of course, is all abuzz after her viral Halloween Instagram post. Lainey teamed up with Illinois’ All Seasons Orchard, who honored her with a custom Lainey Wilson-themed corn maze. She posted a playful video for her 3.5 million Instagram followers, tapping her heels and magically transporting herself to the cornfield in a nod to the Wizard of Oz. She took the time to visit and interact with both fans and the farm team, sparking even more conversation online following her recent Illinois and Minnesota tour dates.
Business is booming, too. Her new boot line, Golden West Boots, launched this past summer and continues to sell out online and in pop-up events. Meanwhile, her Nashville bar Bell Bottoms Up is a hot nightlife spot, receiving rave reviews for its live music and Southern-inspired food. Lainey’s unmistakable brand—equal parts trailblazer and classic Southern charm—dominates both her business ventures and artistic projects. Mainstream media headlines this past week call her unstoppable as she juggles hosting, new music, a blossoming acting career, and successful entrepreneurship all at once. Her star, it seems, is still rising, and the latest headlines reflect she has no plans of slowing down.
