Hailey Whitters Plots “Corn Queen Tour” with Crowns, Sashes & Small-Town Sass
If you thought Hailey Whitters was done waving the Midwest flag, think again.
The Corn Queen Tour kicks off September 4 at The Nashville Palace and winds through a mix of honky-tonks, ballrooms, and clubs across the country — including stops in her home state of Iowa, Philly, Chicago, and even a detour to Gstaad, Switzerland (yes, you read that right).
Fresh off a CMA Fest appearance, a stop at the Grand Ole Opry, and the release of her deeply personal new album Corn Queen, the Iowa-born artist just announced she’s taking it all on the road — crowns and all.
But this isn’t just any tour. At each stop, Whitters will be crowning a Corn Queen and King, complete with custom sashes, a real corn crown (we hope it’s bedazzled), signed merch, and a pre-show meet and greet with Hailey herself. Fans can enter to win through her official website — and yes, we fully expect the competition to be fierce.
The tour comes in support of her brand-new 16-track album Corn Queen, which dropped June 6 and features collabs with Charles Wesley Godwin, Molly Tuttle, and The Wilder Blue. Tracks like “High On The Hog” and “White Limousine” are already turning heads — with Rolling Stone and Billboard naming them some of the best country releases of the year (so far).
If Raised was her breakout, Corn Queen is her crowning moment — full of sharp songwriting, unapologetic twang, and small-town heart. It’s Whitters in her purest form, and this tour is shaping up to be just as personal.
So grab your boots, grab your sashes, and get ready to sing along. Because the cornfields are going on tour.
