Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, And Lainey Wilson Release New Single, ‘Trailblazer’

Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, and Lainey Wilson have joined forces for an all-star collaboration. The three country singers have released a new single, “Trailblazer.”

The ballad, which is a tribute to the women country legends who paved the way for them, made its debut at the 60th ACM Awards.

“We were like, ‘OK, we’re going to do a song with Reba — what kind of song do we write?” Lambert shared with Billboard. “We were calling her on the set [of sitcom Happy’s Place] and trying to figure out, ‘What’s the right message for this trio? What do we really want to say in three minutes?’”

The song is a celebration of the past, present, and future of women in country music, naming influences like Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Tammy Wynette. “We were just having a conversation about how both [Lambert and McEntire] have influenced me and [about] passing the torch and blazing trails for each other,” Wilson, who titled the track, also shared. “Generation after generation, it’s going to continue, but we got to keep blazing those trails for the next one.”

The singers performed “Trailblazer” at the ACM Awards, which was also hosted by McEntire. A 16-time ACM Award winner in her own right, this marked the 18th time she has hosted or co-hosted the show. The ceremony streamed live from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Other performers included Dan + Shay, LeAnn Rimes, Sugarland, and Wynonna Judd, as well as collaborative performances by Jelly Roll & Shaboozey; Backstreet Boys & Rascal Flatts; and Brooks & Dunn with Cody Johnson.
