Lauren Alaina is back on the road—and this time, she’s bringing her newest and cutest bandmate along for the ride. The country star, who welcomed her daughter Beni Doll just 12 weeks ago, hit the stage over the weekend for her first performances as a new mom. With her mother by her side to help, Alaina embraced the milestone with joy, nerves, and plenty of gratitude.
Following her shows, Alaina opened up on social media about the emotional experience of returning to the stage. “I was so overwhelmed with the thought of going back on the road after having my daughter. I was scared. I was excited. I was dreading it. I couldn’t wait,” she admitted. “Our newest member of the band is making our shows even better than before. I could not have done it without my momma out there taking care of us both.”
The Georgia native said one of her greatest motivations was showing her daughter what’s possible. “I’m so proud to show my daughter that we can do anything our heart desires. I can be a momma and chase my dreams,” Alaina shared. Fans were quick to applaud her for balancing motherhood with her passion for music, celebrating her honesty about both the struggles and the rewards.
Alaina’s 2025 calendar is already filling up with performances, but her biggest challenge is still ahead. In 2026, she’ll reunite with Rascal Flatts for the highly anticipated Life Is a Highway Tour. Alaina previously toured with the country supergroup during the first leg of the tour while pregnant—this time, baby Beni will be joining her. “I did the whole tour pregnant last time, and now I’ll have a newborn,” she joked. “They’re going to get to see what came out of the bump.”
Of course, the singer knows she’ll need support. She revealed that both her mom and mother-in-law will be lending helping hands while she’s on tour. “Being away from her for 90 minutes sounds like the most impossible thing I’ve ever heard of,” Alaina confessed. But with her family by her side, she’s ready to balance her two biggest roles: mom and performer.
Fans got a sweet glimpse of that balance when Alaina shared a “Get Ready With Me” video, featuring baby Beni dancing along in the background. The adorable clip quickly stole the spotlight online, with fans calling Beni the “cutest tour buddy ever.” For Alaina, those little moments make the challenges of life on the road worth it.
The “All My Exes” singer is also celebrating major career milestones. She recently became the first female country artist in more than a decade to have the No. 1 most-added song at country radio for two consecutive weeks. Her single “All My Exes,” featuring Chase Matthew, continues to climb the charts, proving her momentum hasn’t slowed down since becoming a mom.
As she steps into this new chapter, Lauren Alaina is proving that motherhood and music don’t have to compete—they can shine together. With her baby girl in tow, the superstar’s next tour won’t just be about the music, but about the heartwarming story of a mom chasing her dreams while raising the next generation.
