Lauren Alaina hit the road over the weekend for the first time since welcoming her baby girl, Beni Doll, 12 weeks ago. With her mom by her side to help, the proud new mom brought her daughter along for the weekend run of shows.
After wrapping up the performances, Lauren took to social media to share her emotions about the milestone moment.

“I was so overwhelmed with the thought of going back on the road after having my daughter. I was scared. I was excited. I was dreading it. I couldn’t wait. Our newest member of the band is making our shows even better than before. I could not have done it without my momma out there taking care of us both,” she wrote.
The 30 year old songstress admitted she’s proud to show her daughter that she can be both a mom and a dream-chaser, and felt grateful and happy to be back doing what she loves.
“I’m so proud to show my daughter that we can do anything our heart desires. I can be a momma and chase my dreams,” she added. “Thank you to everyone who showed up and reminded me how much I love this dream of mine. It felt so good to be back.”
Lauren Alaina has several shows planned for the remainder of the year, but things will really kick into high gear in 2026 when she will hit the road again with Rascal Flatts for the Life Is A Highway Tour. The Georgia native previously toured with the country supergroup during the first leg of the tour while pregnant. This time, her daughter, Beni Doll, will be joining her, as Alaina recently shared in a heartfelt “Get Ready With Me” video.
“I mean, I love what I do, so I’m excited, but I’m scared too. And being away from her for 90 minutes sounds like the most impossible thing I’ve ever heard of,” she said.
Later, she revealed that her mom and mother in law will both be chipping in to help with Beni Doll while she’s on tour.

The “All My Exes” singer is looking forward to reuniting with Rascal Flatts, who she deemed the “nicest guys ever.”
“I did the whole tour pregnant last time and now I’ll have a newborn. They’re going to get to see what came out of the bump….So I’m excited that we’re going back out with them, but I’ll be able to see my feet this time,” she joked.
Alaina recently became the first female country artist in over a decade to have the No.1 most-added song at country radio for two consecutive weeks. Her latest single, “All My Exes,” featuring Chase Matthew, is climbing the charts now.
