A lot has happened since Lainey Wilson was last on Country Heat Weekly. She got married, made new music, became buddies with John Mayer and somehow still found time to get ready to host the CMAs again. And we're gonna cover ALL of it!

The country superstar opened up about getting used to life as a WIFE, took us inside the writing room of her new song “Kind of Love It” and gave Amber the chance to talk about sports ahead of her post game concert after NEXT week’s Thursday night football game. Plus, she looks ahead to hosting the 2026 CMA Awards, where you might even see her break out a bedazzled broom for Ella Langley (you’ll have to listen to find more!)

There's a lot more to come in October so be sure to follow the hosts on IG to stay up to date on all the fun ahead:
