About this listen
Lainey Wilson is absolutely owning the headlines and the country music conversation this week. Just days ago, on July 2, Erik Thompson reported for MyEagleCountry that Wilson released her latest single, "Somewhere Over Laredo," drawing accolades for the emotion and storytelling packed into her vocals. Her newest album, "Whirlwind," is keeping that momentum going strong, with Rolling Stone calling it a “stellar album” and Billboard praising its bold, fun, and thoroughly country sound. “Whirlwind” has not only captured critical and fan attention, it's also up for Best Country Album at the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards—a major milestone that cements her place at the top of the genre.
Lainey is also all over the touring circuit. Her "Whirlwind Tour" is spanning nearly 50 dates worldwide, including landmark venues like Madison Square Garden and London’s O2 Arena. Fans in Edmonton are buzzing after she announced she’ll play Rogers Place on August 29, 2025, a detail she revealed in her signature unfiltered style on YouTube, sparking a new round of social media chatter about her charisma and on-stage confidence.
Speaking of style, Lainey's outfits have become their own cultural moment. Parade magazine and her own socials lately featured shots from Summerfest where fans and fashion critics alike are hailing her as the “best dressed in country.” Sequined chaps, purple hats, and vintage flair—the looks are as bold as her sound and are inspiring a wave of new trends in the country scene, including the return of hair feathers, according to fan comments.
Personal life headlines aren’t far behind. According to an exclusive with People, Lainey revealed the key rule for her strong relationship with fiancé Devlin “Duck” Hodges, opening up about how mutual respect and always putting each other first has been the foundation of their bond. ANI News echoes this, spotlighting how open communication keeps their romance thriving despite the pressures of fame.
And if you’ve noticed buzz over her transformation, you are not alone. Sites like Northwestern University and Yale are reporting that she’s down 20 pounds this year, crediting “three small, sustainable changes” instead of any drastic measures. Fans are flooding social media with messages of support and inspiration, with one young commenter saying Lainey’s “story makes me believe that I can change my life too.”
With a Grammy-nominated album, a global tour, fashion icon status, a headline-making romance, and a relatable personal journey—Lainey Wilson’s star is burning brighter than ever.
