Lainey Wilson’s New Song “Somewhere Over Laredo” Is a Heartfelt Love Letter to Small-Town America – Hear It First at the 2025 AMAs!

Country music darling Lainey Wilson is bringing something special to the stage at the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26—and fans won’t want to miss it. The chart-topping singer-songwriter is set to debut her brand-new single, “Somewhere Over Laredo,” in what promises to be an unforgettable performance.

Already a 16-time ACM Award winner and this year’s nominee for Favorite Female Country Artist, Wilson is no stranger to the spotlight. But this latest track reveals a deeper, more nostalgic side to the star. Co-written with Trannie Anderson, Dallas Wilson, and Andy Albert, “Somewhere Over Laredo” pays homage to the iconic “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” while crafting its own story—one that celebrates love, memory, and the soulful heartbeat of small towns across the country.

A Tribute to the Past, Rooted in the Heartland

Blending Wilson’s signature southern charm with heartfelt lyrics and a hint of Americana magic, the new song is both a nod to country traditions and a bold step forward in her musical journey. It’s a track for anyone who’s ever missed home, remembered a first love, or found peace under wide-open skies.

And the best part? Fans will hear it live for the very first time at the AMAs, before it hits radio and streaming platforms on Tuesday, May 27.

A Whirlwind Year for Country’s Leading Lady

2025 has already been a landmark year for Lainey Wilson. From a show-stealing role in Yellowstone to a romantic engagement (rumored to have happened at a legendary country music landmark), and continuing her tour in support of her hit album Whirlwind, Wilson is clearly riding high.

Her tour is taking her to some of country music’s biggest stages, including Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, Bridgestone Arena, Austin’s Moody Center, and the Kia Center in Orlando, with fans across the U.S. flocking to see her live.

As Wilson gets ready to share this new song with the world, one thing is clear: whether you’re from a big city or a one-stoplight town, “Somewhere Over Laredo” will strike a chord.

So mark your calendars, country fans—Lainey Wilson is about to take you somewhere unforgettable.
