Country music star Hardy has been making strides in his career in 2022 as he and Lainey Wilson released a haunting murder ballad called "Wait In The Truck," and country radio has been embracing it.

Hardy is also set to tour with his friend Morgan Wallen this fall after he had to cancel a few of his shows after a bad bus crash near Nashville on October 2 sent him and some of his crew to the hospital, where his bus driver Ricky remains in serious condition.

Hardy also won his second "Songwriter of the Year" award from the ACM in the spring. Hardy is a co-writer of Blake Shelton's powerful "God's Country."

We take a look at some shots from the last few years as Hardy built up his rising career.
