The girl that grew up in a tiny house in Rossville, Georgia, 28 years ago. The person my big brother calls ‘sister,’ even today. The aunt my nieces and nephews call ‘Lala’ when I run to scoop them up off their front porch in my hometown. The girl you met 13 years ago on a TV show, and the woman you’re seeing today. A singer, songwriter, author, actress, dancer, sister, fiancée, daughter, friend. I want you to know me. And the truth is, it took me a long time to get to know me, too. Let’s start where we always have before. My name is Lauren, and my new EP, Unlocked, comes out next week.”

Alaina’s next project reportedly includes a duet with fellow country star Lainey Wilson, and songs co-written by Cole Swindell, Luke Bryan and other powerhouse singer-songwriters. follows her 15-track album, Sitting Pretty On Top Of The World, which released in September 2021.
