At just 9 years old, Laci Kaye Booth started to explore music by writing her own songs. Never losing that love, she eventually moved to Nashville, wanting to leave her mark on country music. And over the years, Booth was named part of the “Next Women of Country” by CMT. And just last year, the country singer released her debut album The Loneliest Girl In The World. Continuing to add to her growing stardom, Booth recently performed her new song “Daddy’s Mugshot” while making her debut at the Grand Ole Opry.
