American Idol winner Laine Hardy has been making a name for himself in country music since his victory in 2019. At just 21 years old, the Louisiana native has had his life turned upside down by stardom over the last few years. His debut album Here’s to Anyone was released in September 2021, and he will be hitting the road for a summer tour starting next month.
