Lauren Spencer Smith is done pretending everything is fine, and her new album, THE ART OF BEING A MESS, proves it.

Out now via Island Records/Republic Records, the breakout star’s sophomore album is all about owning every emotion, even the ones that feel totally overwhelming. Written during a time when life felt anything but put together, the album is a deep dive into every messy feeling.

“THE ART OF BEING A MESS is about embracing the highs and lows, the chaos and the beauty in feeling everything, no matter what the emotion is,” she shares, “Life gets messy, and it’s okay to be angry, sad, confused—or even unsure of what you’re feeling at all. I want this album to feel like a guidebook, helping you understand your own emotions and feeling okay to embrace the journey they take you on.”

The 12-track album dives deep into real life stories, heartbreaks, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being human. Lauren Spencer Smith is not here to tie things into a neat bow; she’s here to make you feel seen amidst the chaos. Leading up to this release, she released hit singles “bridesmaid” and “IF KARMA DOESN’T GET YOU (I WILL),” which earned a spot on Spotify’s U.S. Viral Chart.

After dropping her debut album, Mirror, in 2023, home to the platinum certified hits “Flowers” and “Fingers Crossed” that took her from a small-town artist from Vancouver Island to one of pop’s most exciting new voices, her new project feels even more personal, raw, and unfiltered.

And if you’re hoping to catch the feels live, good news. Lauren is hitting the road this fall for a major international tour with nearly 90,000 tickets already sold. “THE ART OF BEING A MESS tour” kicks off in Madrid on September 3, with stops in London, Paris, Berlin, and more before heading to Australia and New Zealand. Then, in February 2026, Lauren returns to North America for a 32-date headline run, including shows in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, and beyond.

Whether you’re in your healing era, heartbreak era, or just trying to figure it all out, THE ART OF BEING A MESS might be exactly what you need!
