She explained how time moves so fast in her position.

"I feel like I have to think way ahead, because we are already talking about, 'What does 2027 look like?'" she said.

"We have everything mapped out because everything just moves so quick and time is just like, poof, gone.

"You gotta make sure that you're taking the time to write the songs and taking the time to be in the studio, but also taking the time to live so you can write the songs."

With Wilson's incisive lyrics and fierce delivery, the songs that are on the way next will likely continue to boost her career to even bigger heights.

From the sounds of it, we will probably have a new Lainey Wilson record in 2026, complete with a full supporting tour that extends into 2027.
