Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire, and Miranda Lambert Unite for Powerful ACM Awards Performance

Country music fans were treated to a special moment at the 2025 ACM Awards on Thursday, May 8th, as Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire, and Miranda Lambert debuted their new collaboration, "Trailblazer." The emotional performance took place at The Star in Frisco, Texas, and saw the trio deliver a powerful message of inspiration and legacy.

The song, released on streaming services just hours before the performance, features the three artists dressed in matching brown suede outfits with turquoise accents. The stage was transformed into a desert landscape, complete with a warm orange sky and silhouettes of birds, creating a visually stunning backdrop. The women traded verses before harmonizing on the chorus, celebrating the spirit of those who forge their own paths.

"Trailblazer" is a tribute to the artists who have influenced them and paved the way for future generations. In an interview with Billboard, Lambert explained that the song was designed to subtly honor their influences, while Wilson emphasized the importance of continuing to "blaze those trails for the next one." McEntire, who also hosted the ACM Awards for the 18th time, joined her collaborators at the end of the performance, taking a bow with Wilson and Lambert.

The ACM Awards, produced by Dick Clark Productions, a joint venture between Eldridge Industries and Penske Media, provided the perfect platform for this momentous collaboration. The performance of "Trailblazer" is sure to resonate with country music fans and serve as a reminder of the power of collaboration and the importance of honoring those who came before.
