Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire hint at large collaboration
Wilson, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire have come together to create a new song that will debut at the 2025 ACM Awards. This exciting collaboration between three powerhouse women in country music is sure to be a highlight of the event.
The song, titled “Trailblazer,” was born out of a text chain between Lambert, Wilson, and McEntire. Lambert and Wilson initially wrote the song together and then reached out to McEntire to join them. Lambert teasingly shared that the contents of their group chat were “off-color,” adding an element of mystery to the collaboration.
“Trailblazer” pays homage to some of the iconic figures who have influenced the three artists, including Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Tammy Wynette. Lambert explained that they wanted to subtly reference these legendary women in the song, creating a sense of intrigue that would invite listeners to delve deeper into the lyrics.
In addition to celebrating their musical heroes, Lambert, Wilson, and McEntire aim to “pass the torch” to a new generation of trailblazing artists in country music. By coming together and sharing their collective experiences and talents, they hope to inspire and uplift the next wave of creators in the genre.
McEntire, who is also hosting the 2025 ACM Awards, will perform “Trailblazer” live at the event. She is set to kick off the show with a 12-minute opening medley that pays tribute to past ACM Song of the Year winners, creating a nostalgic and celebratory atmosphere for the evening.
The 2025 ACM Awards will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video from the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas. Fans can tune in to witness this historic moment in country music history, as Lambert, Wilson, and McEntire take the stage to debut their new song and pay homage to the trailblazers who came before them.
As fans eagerly anticipate this highly anticipated collaboration, the excitement for the 2025 ACM Awards continues to build. With a lineup of talented performers and a collection of iconic songs, this year’s ceremony is sure to be a memorable and inspiring event for country music fans everywhere.
