#CMAFest24: Tennessee’s own Lauren Watkins is going strong in 2024 with her debut album and Wallen tour

The 51st annual CMA Festival is currently underway in downtown Nashville!

From Thursday to Sunday, roughly 90,000 country music fans hit Broadway to see all their favorite artists and future up-and-comers.

We were able to catch up with Tennessee’s own Lauren Watkins.
She is set to release her debut album, titled The Heartbroken Record, later this month and is about to embark on a huge tour with another Tennessee native, Morgan Wallen!

We spoke to her about what went into making her album, filming the music video for “Settling Things” in Patsy Cline’s kitchen, and finding her authentic sound.
