‘Redneck Superwoman’ Lainey Wilson Looks Back on Her Whirlwind World Tour

Reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson recently wrapped her Whirlwind World Tour, kicking off in Phoenix, Arizona in 2025, and wrapping up on the other side of the world in Perth, Australia just a few days ago. Reflecting on the journey, the Louisiana native said it was “more of a season of life” than just a series of shows.

“I knew that this tour was going to be fun, but I did not know how special that it truly was going to be,” she admitted in a new social media clip. “Y’all didn’t just show up and buy the tickets and the T-shirts. Y’all showed up with an open heart and you sang at the top of your lungs for the loud parts. You cried for the quiet ones and it didn’t feel like it was just shows. It felt like an experience that we all got to share together.”

In the clip, the superstar also reflected on parts of her show that felt the most memorable, including the moment that had her flying high above the crowd each night.

“I’ll tell you what, going up on that lift, that thing that went up in the air for ‘Somewhere Over Laredo’ with my cape on looking like a redneck Superwoman, it never got any less scary,” she laughed. “But what do they say? You got to do stuff that scares you? Well, I was shitting my pants every single time I went up, but you would never know. It’d be terrible to be up there shit in your pants. That would not be good!”

Wilson went on to share how singing under the giant horseshoe that served as the focal point of the stage was a “full-circle” moment for her.

“The very first song that I ever wrote at nine years old was one called ‘Lucky Me.’ And a horseshoe symbolizes luck, but I have been told that when you walk underneath a horseshoe that is facing down, it stands for blessings being poured down on whoever is walking underneath it. And I could not feel any more blessed,” she shared. “This has nothing to do with luck. I just wanted to say thank y’all so much for riding this whirlwind the whole way with me.”

After reflecting on these special moments, Wilson hinted at what’s next for her fans. “I got something cooking up for y’all, and hell I don’t even cook!”

Wilson also reminded fans of the upcoming release of her Netflix documentary and her major film acting debut in the Colleen Hoover adaptation, Reminders of Him, set to debut later this month.

“So many things to be thankful for. I love y’all. And I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this the best tour yet.”

Next up, Wilson is set to appear at the Grand Ole Opry to officially welcome Jelly Roll into the Opry family. Check out her full list of upcoming tour dates HERE.
