During a past appearance on Taste of Country Nights, Lainey Wilson revealed a tour habit that had fans in disbelief.
The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year admits she stays so busy that seeing her entire schedule at once can feel overwhelming.
“I look right before I go to sleep — for the next day,” Wilson says. “Just to see, just to have a little bit of, ya know, get my mind right.”
“But it’s like, here lately, we’re trying to be in five places at once — and we’ve been doing it somehow.”
Wilson told me her 2026 schedule was largely locked in by early 2025, and she and her team are almost certainly already booking dates well into 2027.

The 20 Best Lainey Wilson Songs
Lainey Wilson’s best songs are the ones that show exactly who she is: A sharp songwriter with a stubborn streak, a tender heart and a flair for ’70s rock and roll.
Some of that might seem like a contradiction, but it’s always made perfect sense to Wilson, who debuted on the country scene with a never-ending closet full of bell-bottoms and an unapologetically thick Louisiana drawl. Even if you flip back to some of her earliest releases, this singer-songwriter has always known who she is, and been laser-focused on her country music goals.
That self-confidence and willingness to work hard has paid off for Wilson, who has climbed the country music ladder by leaps and bounds since she released her breakout hit, “Things a Man Oughta Know,” in 2021. Keep reading for a look at Wilson’s catalogue, and our roundup of the 20 best country songs she has released to date.
