Whitters has also announced a Corn Court contest where she will crown a Corn Queen & King at every date on her upcoming Corn Queen Tour.

Find rules and instructions on how to enter here.

Tonight, Whitters will perform at the Grand Ole Opry following a packed release week celebration that included an album release party at Skinny Dennis presented by Holler, an in-store performance and signing at Grimey’s and a performance at Spotify House as part of CMA Fest.

On Friday, Whitters released the official video for the ethereal “White Limousine,” directed by Beth Brinker, that tells the story of a small town girl with fantasies of the glitz and glamour of a faraway life. Yesterday, Billboard named “White Limousine” one of 5 Must-Hear new country songs and praised the “dreamy, 1970s haze-wrapped romantic ode”

Last week, The Tennessean and Nashville Lifestyles published feature interviews with Whitters about the new album, which was embraced by NPR Music, Country Central, Music Row, Stereogum, Wide Open Country and many more. BrooklynVegan reviewed the album and proclaimed, “If you wondered if the fame from Raised would make Hailey Whitters forget where she came from, Corn Queen seems to suggest that she’s doing the exact opposite,” while Holler declared, “Whitters delivers the humility of small-town life through 16 tracks of clever, insightful lyrics and twangy, foot-tapping melodies.”

Also on Friday, Rolling Stone named the album opener “High On The Hog” one of The Best Songs of 2025 So Far, calling it “a whip-smart, fiddle-heavy travelogue about the trials and travails of being an aspiring heartland country star.”

Corn Queen also features collaborations including “I Don’t Want You” featuring Charles Wesley Godwin, “DanceMor” featuring The Wilder Blue, and “Prodigal Daughter” featuring Molly Tuttle was named one of the Best Songs of 2025 (So Far) by Vulture.
