Lauren Alaina is planning on bringing her infant daughter on the road in 2026. Alaina will serve as the opening act for Rascal Flatts' 2026 Life Is A Highway Tour, bringing Beni Doll with her as she crosses the country. Not only did Alaina not consider touring without Beni, she admits she isn't sure she can stay away from her long enough to perform.

"I mean, I love what I do, so I'm excited too. But I'm scared too," Alaina acknowledges. "And being away from her for 90 minutes sounds like the most impossible thing I've ever heard of. Beni's coming on the road. And her grandmothers are going to come with me."
Alaina toured with Rascal Flatts while pregnant, which is why she's excited to be back out with them, this time as a mother.
"We have a big tour coming up that I'm super excited about," she gushes. "We're going back out with Rascal Flatts on tour. I'm so excited about that. I did the whole tour pregnant last time, and now I'll have a newborn. They're going to get to see what came out of the bump. Nicest guys ever,. So I'm excited that we're going back out with them, but I'll be able to see my feet this time."
Lauren Alaina Releases "Heaven Sent" After The Birth Of Beni Doll
Beni Doll is Alaina's first child with her husband, Cam Arnold. Born on June 11, Alaina released her new song, "Heaven Sent," to celebrate her arrival. The song shares Alaina's journey, of tragically losing her father, J.J. Suddeth, in 2024, only a few months after she and Arnold got married.
"To celebrate the most precious miracle on Earth, I have decided to release a song I wrote about my daughter," Alaina says. "We learned she was coming in a time of deep sadness after the loss of my daddy. I wasn't sure when I would share 'Heaven Sent,' but watching my own husband become a father the last couple of days has made me want to share it with you now."
Fortunately, Alaina still has some time to get used to being a mother. Rascal Flatts' upcoming tour kicks off on January 15. It concludes on February 28.
