From her home base in Boston, Lori McKenna has carved out an enviable niche for herself as one of Nashville's most in-demand songwriters, all while maintaining a prolific and remarkably consistent career as a solo artist. The release of her anticipated album, 1988, adds to a series of landmark years for McKenna and follows three widely acclaimed albums: 2016's The Bird's The Tree and 2020's The Balladeer, of which the Associated Press praised. McKenna has by now long established herself as one of the best songwriters working in any genre. And she does it again and again, while The Tennessean asserted that she has one of the sharpest pens in modern country and folk songwriting.
In addition to her career as a solo artist, McKenna continues to enjoy success as one of the music industry's most in-demand songwriters. In 2023, she was nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Song for co-writing I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault), performed by Taylor Swift. In 2017, McKenna became the first woman to win the Academy of Country Music's Songwriter of the Year award and the first woman to win the Country Music Association's Song of the Year award two years in a row. She also won back-to-back Grammys for Best Country Song: for Girl Crush, performed by Little Big Town, in 2016 and Humble and Kind, performed by Tim McGraw, in 2017. In 2021, McKenna won her third Best Country Song Grammy for co-writing Crowded Table, performed by the Highwomen, with Brandi Carlile and Natalie Hemby.
In addition to writing songs for a multitude of award-winning artists including Hunter Hayes, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, and Carrie Underwood, McKenna also co-wrote Always Remember Us This Way, which was featured in the Oscar-winning 2018 film A Star Is Born.
