Lainey Wilson Debuts 'Somewhere Over Laredo' At 2025 AMAs Las Vegas

Country star Lainey Wilson debuted her new single "Somewhere Over Laredo" at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas, marking her first live performance of the song. The track, released on May 23, is an emotional homage to Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz, blending a modern country sound with the classic melody. Wilson, dressed in an all-white ensemble during her performance, captivated the audience with powerful vocals and evocative lyrics that tell a story of love and longing set against a Texas backdrop. She was also nominated for Favorite Female Country Artist at the AMAs, competing alongside Beyoncé and Kacey Musgraves, while recently winning her second consecutive Entertainer of the Year award at the ACMs, an achievement not seen since Taylor Swift. The new single will be featured on the deluxe edition of her 2024 album "Whirlwind," which recently earned Album of the Year at the ACM Awards. Wilson continues to solidify her place in country music through award recognitions, high-profile performances, and a growing fanbase.
