Lauren Alaina reveals her serious take on motherhood at ACM awards

Lauren Alaina has opened up about what has changed in her life and how that has impacted her.

The Road Less Traveled hit maker was present at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, May 17, where she revealed that becoming a mother has had an ever-lasting impact on her and her life.

She said in an exclusive interview on the red carpet with Amazon Music's Red Carpet Show hosts Kelly Sutton and Amber Anderson, “I am the most confident I have ever been, because I spent the last 15 years trying so hard to accomplish something and make it,"

She continued, "and when I had my daughter and married my husband, that's when I made it,"

The American singer-songwriter described experiencing the rest of the things, including fame and success in her career as a "bonus."

For the unversed, the 31-year-old was also not able to attend last year's award show because she was 37-weeks pregnant at that time.

The Getting Over Him songstress also disclosed that she is planning to throw her 11-month-old daughter, Beni Doll, a birthday bash next month.

Notably, Lauren welcomed her first child with husband Cam Arnold in June 2025.
