Lauren Alaina Shares Sweet Moment With Baby On Stage: 'Perfect, Beautiful'

Lauren Alaina shared a sweet moment with her daughter on stage during the Country Music Association’s CMA Fest on Sunday (June 7) in Nashville, Tennessee.

“Do you see that? That’s how we should all see ourselves. Look how perfect and beautiful,” Alaina said of her daughter as she introduced Beni Doll Arnold to the crowd. The country star finished performing her first No. 1 single, 2016’s “Road Less Traveled.” The anthem went on to become the title track of Alaina’s sophomore studio record, which released in early 2017. Beni Doll, who wore a pink bow and protective headphones to the show, held onto the microphone with Alaina. Alaina said, “Mommy needs the microphone! Mommy needs it! …She’s trying to eat it.”

“Last year at CMA Fest I was past my due date…. A year later and I got to introduce our Beni Doll to the best week of the year in Nashville! I think she’s a fan, what do y’all think? 👀🥹” Alaina wrote in a caption on Instagram on Monday (June 8).

Alaina welcomed Beni Doll with husband Cam Arnold on June 11, 2025. The singer-songwriter shared in the birth announcement, “I will never be the same. You, to your dad and me, are absolute perfection. We are honored God chose us to be your parents. Thank you to everyone for all of the love, prayers and support for our precious daughter.”
