Lainey Wilson and John Mayer team up on the single ‘Phone, Keys, Wallet’

Lainey Wilson has released her latest single “Phone, Keys, Wallet,” featuring guest guitar work from John Mayer. The song continues Wilson’s momentum following the success of her album Whirlwind and its deluxe edition, which included the No. 1 hit “Somewhere Over Laredo.”

Written during the final stretch of Wilson’s Whirlwind World Tour and recorded at Mayer’s Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles, the track centers on navigating a hectic lifestyle while appreciating a partner who remains supportive through life’s unpredictability. Mayer contributes guitar throughout the recording, marking a new collaboration between the two artists.

Discussing the song, Wilson said, “I feel like a tornado with boots on half the time, and this song is really about finding somebody who’s okay with that chaos and chooses to love you through it anyway.”

“Phone, Keys, Wallet” follows Wilson’s recent releases “Younger You,” recorded with Miley Cyrus, and “Can’t Sit Still.” The new single had been teased for weeks through a Nashville billboard campaign that invited fans to text a number to help Wilson “find” her missing phone, keys and wallet, offering a preview of the song in return.

The new single arrives during a high-profile stretch for the Louisiana native. Earlier this year, Wilson headlined the Stagecoach music festival and became the subject of a Netflix documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool. Additionally, she recently made her feature film acting debut in an adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel Reminders of Him.

Daughtry to mark two decades of music with intimate acoustic tour

Rock band Daughtry will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a stripped-down U.S. tour this fall, bringing a more intimate concert experience to theaters and smaller venues across the country.

The month-long “20 Years Unplugged” tour is scheduled to begin October 12 at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, New York. From there, the rock outfit will visit major regions across the country, making scheduled stops in cities such as Atlantic City, New Jersey; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Anaheim, California. The itinerary concludes on November 14 with a final performance at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Texas. Buffalo, New York-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Perdz will serve as the opening act for all scheduled dates.

The acoustic trek is designed to spotlight the songs and storytelling that have defined the group’s career. They said in a statement: “The tour will pull the band’s music into a more raw and immediate space, where the weight of a lyric, the scrape of a guitar string, and the quiet before a chorus can hit as hard as the full-band impact.” Fans can expect reimagined versions of hits including “It’s Not Over,” “Home” and “Over You,” performed in settings intended to create a closer connection with audiences.

The anniversary tour arrives as Daughtry continues to support “Shock to the System – Deluxe,” which combines the band’s two-part “Shock to the System” project released across 2024 and 2025 and adds live recordings.
