Didn't understand what you meant there at all.

You could probably write a function to get it from git

disclaimer: not tested but could be a start

local gittag = function()
  return vim.api.nvim_exec("git describe --tags --abbrev=0", true)
end

and then add it to lualine:

sections = {
  lualine_a = {},
  lualine_b = {
    { "branch", icons_enabled = false }, -- not required, just for context
    { gittag },
 }
