Country star Lainey Wilson — who in 2023 became the first woman named Country Music Association entertainer of the year since Taylor Swift in 2009 — will hit the road on her biggest tour to date, which includes an Oct. 18 show at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 7 through Ticketmaster. Citi cardholders and Verizon customers have access to a presale that runs from 10 a.m. Feb. 4 through 10 p.m. Feb. 6.
The Louisiana native fell in love with music after attending a concert at the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 9. She began writing her own songs soon after and spent her teen years performing as a Hannah Montana impersonator at birthday parties, fairs and festivals.
After graduating high school, she moved to Nashville and lived in a camper trailer outside a recording studio. She released two albums on small labels before landing a deal with a major in 2018. Two years later, her debut single “Things a Man Oughta Know” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s country airplay chart. She has since found similar success with “Heart Like a Truck,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Wildflowers and Wild Horses.” Her upcoming tour is in support of her fifth album “Whirlwind.”
Wilson has also branched out into acting and played a small role in five episodes of the hit Western drama “Yellowstone.”
