LAINEY WILSON SOARS TO #1 WITH “SOMEWHERE OVER LAREDO”

Nashville, TN (December 1, 2025) – Lainey Wilson lands her ninth number one at country radio with “Somewhere Over Laredo,” the lead single from her Whirlwind (Deluxe) album. The chart topping single, which she just performed at the 99th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, also anchors two of Lainey’s three nominations at the GRAMMY Awards — Best Country Song (“Somewhere Over Laredo”), Best Country Solo Performance (“Somewhere Over Laredo”) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Trailblazer” with Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert). For her label, Broken Bow Records, “Somewhere Over Laredo” serves as its 50th single to peak at #1 on the country radio charts.

Wilson recently released a holiday EP, Peace, Love, & Cowboys (Holiday Edition), available to stream or purchase on 12-inch vinyl, 7-inch vinyl and CD. The project consists of “Peace, Love, & Cowboys (Holiday Edition)” and “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” with Bing Crosby, as well as instrumental versions of both tracks. Purchase HERE. The release is just the latest in a series of milestones as Wilson served as host for the 59th CMA Awards (the first solo female host since Reba McEntire in 1991), where she also won three awards—Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year (Whirlwind)—and performed twice during the live broadcast: a musical medley monologue and her song “Ring Finger.”

Moreover, Wilson was on the cover of US Weekly’s Humankind Issue in November, highlighting her Heart Like A Truck Fund (read HERE).

Known for her electric concerts, Wilson recently performed sold-out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena as part of her extensive Whirlwind World Tour and will continue to tour through next year including dates across Australia and New Zealand. See below for the complete tour itinerary.

Wilson released the deluxe version of her award-winning album, Whirlwind, this summer via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville (stream/purchase HERE). In addition to Whirlwind’s original 14 songs, the extended edition features five additional tracks: “Bell Bottoms Up,” “King Ranch, King George, King James,” “Yesterday, All Day, Every Day,” “Peace, Love, and Cowboys” and “Somewhere Over Laredo.”

Released to overwhelming attention from fans and critics alike, “Somewhere Over Laredo” earned widespread praise from outlets such as CBS Mornings, Rolling Stone and Billboard, who called it “one of her most commanding, dynamic vocal performances to date, crescendo-ing from a soft-focus, tender vocal, before gradually reaching into her upper register for powerful moments that heighten the song’s emotional acuity.”

“The reigning current standard-bearer for women in country” (Variety), Wilson also won four awards at the 60th ACM Awards this past spring—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—performed during 2024’s Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Halftime Show and won two awards at the 58th CMA Awards, where she made her hosting debut alongside Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson also recently launched her fourth collection with Wrangler, as well as her own boot (Golden West Boots) and jewelry lines (The Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection).

The 16x ACM, 12x CMA and Grammy Award-winner and Grand Ole Opry member is a prolific, sought-after songwriter who has scored nine #1 hits including “Somewhere Over Laredo,” “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”). In addition, 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.”
