It’s no secret that Lainey Wilson‘s life has been a Whirlwind.

Yes, that’s the title of Lainey’s forthcoming album, but she’s well aware that “whirlwind” is more than a project name — it’s a word that encapsulates her life and career right now.

“It’s hard to get caught up in a whirlwind and not let it blow you away,” Lainey tells ABC Audio. “But I think it’s because I make sure that I’m Lainey the sister, Lainey the friend, Lainey the daughter, Lainey the dog mama, Lainey the girlfriend, that I’m all of those things so I can be Lainey the artist.”

The “Hang Tight Honey” singer attributes her ability to stay grounded to the people she surrounds herself with: family, friends and loved ones.

“I mean, things are moving so fast it’s hard to keep both feet on the ground at times, but I got a lot of people in my life to keep me humble,” Lainey says. 

Lainey’s 14-track Whirlwind arrives Aug. 23 and is available for preorder and presave now.
