After spending the first part of the year touring while pregnant with her first child, Beni Doll, Lauren Alaina is now preparing to hit the road again with Rascal Flatts. This time, though, her daughter will be tagging along when the band resumes their Life Is A Highway Tour in January 2026.

In a recent “get ready with me” style video, the country star joked that this was the first time she did her hair and put on a full face of makeup in “forever,” admitting motherhood has been occupying all her time. She shared that this new chapter has been “quite a journey” and has come with a lot of lessons, but she is finally starting to find her “groove” with all the big life adjustments.

“Only took us two months and we’re still working on it, honestly,” she shared with fans.

The Excitement And Stress Behind Returning To The Road

Alaina revealed that there is some uncertainty and fear about being on the road with a child for the first time, but her passion for her career and her drive to get back in front of fans is what’s keeping her excited for what’s ahead.

“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 of Beni Doll.

Luckily, Alaina won’t be doing it alone. She shared that she will have some backup on the road as her daughter’s grandmothers plan to join the tour to help out while she is busy on stage.

“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. Nicest guys ever,” she said of the iconic country music group. “So I’m excited that we’re going back out with them, but I’ll be able to see my feet this time.”

Lauren And Her Husband Are Moving

On top of preparing for tour life with a newborn, Alaina revealed that she and her husband are also in the middle of moving.

“We’re moving, which is the other most stressful thing in the world that you can do,” she admitted. “But it’s fine because my husband and I love each other and we get along great. I’m kidding. We do, but stressful, but elected stress. So we can’t really complain too much.”

Heading To Country Radio

Lauren Alaina has somehow found the time to drop several new songs amid all the chaos of her personal life. This year’s releases include “Those Kind Of Women,” which she used to help announce her pregnancy, the fiery “Household,” and two that were inspired by both her late father and her new little girl – “Heaven Sent” and “Little Things.”

The Georgia native also returned to country radio with “All My Exes” featuring Chase Matthew.

“I’m so excited. I haven’t had a radio single in so long. Literally, growing up all I ever wanted was to be on their radio. So I’m excited that we’re going back out to the radio and hopefully you guys will hear it on your local stations. Call and request it. Very, very pumped,” she shared.

YouTube video

The lighthearted update video ended with Alaina crediting all the moms out there who regularly find the time to do their makeup while simultaneously raising a child.

“All you moms out there fixing your hair and doing your makeup, I was not giving you enough credit. Even right now…I know she’s taking a nap and she’s fine. And I’m like, I need to be in there with my baby.”

On that note, she let down her hair and joked that she will have to make a part two with even more updates as she tackles the next part of her getting ready process.

Fans can catch Lauren Alaina taking the stage through the end of August as well as a few dates in September. She is currently set to take the rest of the year off from performing before kicking things back into high gear for the Rascal Flatts tour in January.
