Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson shared their new collaboration, teaming up for the hit song “Trailblazer.”
The trio debuted the ballad — which is a tribute to the women country legends who paved the way for them — at the 60th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Since its debut, McEntire has marked a personal-best streaming record with the song which garnered an impressive 2.6 million on-demand streams in its first week.
The song names influences like Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Tammy Wynette. Says Wilson, who titled the track: “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. Generation after generation, it’s going to continue, but we got to keep blazing those trails for the next one.”
It’s a busy year for Reba — she will be kicking-off the three-day Music City Rodeo event at Bridgestone Arena on May 29th; and will also be pulling double-duty on NBC as she begins filming season two of her new sitcom, Happy’s Place, as well as returning as a coach on Season 28 of The Voice.
