About this listen
Lainey Wilson’s whirlwind fall has kept her firmly at the center of country music headlines and popular culture chatter. She’s been busy on the road with her rigorous 2025 Whirlwind Tour, which continues nonstop until her big December 7 finale at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena, a run that’s inspired her recent top-10 hit Somewhere Over Laredo. According to ABC Audio, Wilson credits the hours spent traveling each week—remote, reflective, and in constant motion—with sparking the storytelling behind that song, which features prominently on the deluxe edition of her Whirlwind album released in August.
But music is just one thread in the tapestry of her current public life. For the second straight year, Lainey is co-hosting the upcoming CMA Awards, and her role is front and center in a newly released ABC promo. The footage shows her assembling the essentials for this year’s star-studded show, with signature neon pink pantsuit, cowboy hat, and a promise of an unforgettable opening. The ad aired with her track Yesterday All Day Every Day underscoring just how much she’s become the face of country’s biggest night.
Offstage, there’s been buzz about her business ventures too. Earlier this year, she launched Golden West Boots, an “Artisan Crafted” line with an emphasis on storytelling, and posted unrehearsed Instagram moments modeling her new styles, often alongside her French Bulldog, Hippie. May saw her debut Bell Bottoms Up, her own Nashville bar serving Louisiana-inspired drinks and Cajun dishes—already a hit among locals and tourists. And her brand just got a sweet seasonal boost with an Illinois cornfield being turned into a massive Lainey Wilson tribute maze. Social media loved her playful video teleporting to the maze Wizard-of-Oz style, and according to Taste of Country, her visit delighted fans and drew attention to the farmers who crafted the design.
Wilson’s acting career just hit a milestone as she stars as Amy in Universal’s upcoming Reminders of Him, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestseller, with the just-released trailer giving fans a first look at her transition to film. The movie is set to premiere in March 2026. Meanwhile, the Country Music Hall of Fame is showcasing her career with the ongoing Tough as Nails exhibit, chronicling her rise and cementing her as a generational talent.
Her personal life remains happily stable, with engagement to former NFL quarterback Devlin Duck Hodges providing a steady undercurrent to all the professional fireworks. In the world of country stars, few can match Lainey’s current momentum—touring, hosting, launching businesses, starring in movies, and even being immortalized in a Halloween corn maze all within a few news cycles. That mix of boundary-pushing career moves and relatable personal flavor has ensured Lainey Wilson stays a headline act on and off the stage.
