Grammy Award winning and

winning and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Laini Wilson has taken the

music industry by storm with hits like

Heart Like a Truck and Watermelon Moonshine making her one of music's most buzzed

about artists and solidifying her status as a next generation icon.

Laini has broken records and reached new milestones all without compromising her

traditional country sound. In fact she coined the term

bell-bottom country which is just the way she describes herself country with a flare

and while it may seem like Laini is an overnight sensation, she will be the first

one to tell you that like so many good things, her success took time.

Laini's journey to stardom started in Louisiana where she fell in love with music early on.

She wrote her first song when she was just nine years old and by 19 she moved to Nashville to chase her dreams living in her camper while she worked to make it big.

Lainey faced years of rejection and heartbreak before finally signing her first record deal.

In 2021, Lainey's breakout hit finally signing her first record deal.

In 2021, Lainie's breakout hit,

Things A Man O'O, soared to number one,

cementing her name in country music history.

Since then, Lainie's been on the ride of her life with more than 700 million music streams and seven number one singles, featuring hits like wildflowers and wild horses.

This summer, Lainey will release her new album,

Whirlwind, which is exactly what the past few years have proven to be for her.

And while she is celebrating this milestone moment in her life, she's also helping me mark a

making space milestone, my 50th guest, and I could not be more thrilled to mark the occasion
