She spent her early years building her career, song by song, show by show, before breaking through with her #1 hit \u201cThings a Man Oughta Know\u201d in 2021.&amp;nbsp; Since then, Lainey\u2019s been on a wildly successful ride. Her second #1 song, \u201cNever Say Never\u201d with Cole Swindell in 2022 was followed by the #1 hits \u201cHeart Like a Truck\u201d and her collaboration with HARDY, \u201cWait in the Truck.\u201d&amp;nbsp; Her critically-acclaimed 2023 album, Bell Bottom Country, overflowing with amped up, guitar-driven, rockstar energy, continues to gain new fans all over the globe and crank out more modern classics like \u201cWatermelon Sunshine,\u201d \u201cSmell Like Smoke\u201d and \u201cHold My Halo.\u201d She has been headlining and selling out shows all across the map, while also gracing festival stages at Lollapalooza, Stagecoach and at arenas with the likes of Luke Combs and other leading country stars. She just made history by nabbing nine 2023 CMA Award nominations, including Entertainer of the Year, Single of the Year, Album of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year.
