On the eve of making her Grand Ole Opry® debut, acclaimed Geffen Records singer, songwriter and musician Laci Kaye Booth shared “Daddy’s Mugshot” – her first new song since the release of her 2024 debut album, The Loneliest Girl In The World and the Acoustic Sessions. Booth’s dreamy delivery belies a will of steel and a sly sense of humor as she sings, “What runs in the blood / Ain’t ever gonna stop / I might look like my mama / But I smile like my daddy’s mugshot.” The track, written by Booth, was produced by Ben West (Stephen Wilson Jr., Patrick Droney), who also helmed The Loneliest Girl In The World.

Laci Kaye Booth says, “I wrote this song after I was scrolling on Facebook and saw my dad’s mugshot going around. I started writing about him, my life, the curse passed down to me and trying to ‘make it’ in Nashville.”
Set for tomorrow, March 29, Booth’s Grand Ole Opry® debut marks yet another milestone in her remarkable career as she joins the ranks of iconic artists like Luke Combs, Lady A, and many more who have stepped inside the circle at the Grand Ole Opry®. Parker McCollum shared the momentous news with Laci on the final night of the first leg of his “What Kinda Man” arena tour, which featured Booth as special guest. Watch Parker McCollum share the news with Laci HERE.
Booth will be touring this summer, performing at Morgan Wallen’s Sand in My Boots and North of Nowhere music festivals, supporting Megan Moroney on three dates and rejoining Parker McCollum for select shows on his summer tour.

Raised in a barn in Livingston, TX and now based in Nashville, Booth started writing her own songs at age nine. Named one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country” and SiriusXM The Highway’s “Highway Find,” she has spent much of 2024 on the road including shows with Flatland Cavalry, Parker McCollum, Kameron Marlowe and more.
After she released her debut album, The Loneliest Girl In The World, last spring via Geffen Records, Billboard hailed Booth as “one of the genre’s brightest newcomers.” Atwood Magazine praised the album as “an insightful, soulful, and lyrically smart record…a triumph.” Country Now said it “represents Booth’s reemergence with a newfound clarity and determination to showcase her talent.” The Los Angeles Times observed, “The most impressive LP from a new(-ish) country act so far this year, The Loneliest Girl in the World teems with vivid songwriting.”
