Reba, Miranda, and Lainey Team Up for "Trailblazer" After ACM Awards Debut

Country music fans are buzzing about a new collaboration! Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, and Lainey Wilson have joined forces to release a powerful new song titled "Trailblazer."

The song is a heartfelt tribute to the women who have shaped country music, acknowledging the "trailblazers" who paved the way for today's artists. The lyrics, filled with themes of perseverance and chasing dreams, resonate with the spirit of the genre. "Talk about a trailblazer," the artists sing, "Cuttin' one path at a time. Running like a dream chaser, livin' on a prayer and a rhyme."

The release of "Trailblazer" comes on the heels of a successful ACM Awards show. Lainey Wilson was the night's biggest winner, taking home the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, along with Female Artist of the Year and Artist-Songwriter of the Year. Her album, "Whirlwind," also earned the Album of the Year title. Reba McEntire, who hosted the ACMs for the 18th time, played a key role in the event. Miranda Lambert also delivered a performance, singing her 2024 song "Run" and her 2005 hit "Kerosene" with Ella Langley.

Fans have responded positively to the new song, with many praising the collaboration and the message of honoring country music's history. The release of "Trailblazer" is a celebration of female artists and a testament to the enduring power of country music.
