No Signs of Slowing Down: Reba McEntire Sets a Personal Record With the Help of Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert

At the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards on May 8, Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, and Lainey Wilson debuted their collaborative single, “Trailblazer.” The all-star trio wrote and released the single in order to pay tribute to the female country artists who came before them, and for the ones that will come after them. Needless to say, the single smashed at the awards show, and has continued to do so on streaming services.

Prior to debuting the single, McEntire, Lambert, and Wilson sat down with Billboard to discuss the inspiration, intention, and feelings behind the single. In that interview, McEntire divulged, “I remember listening to it in the dressing room. I couldn’t find a flaw in it, not a word.” “It was that great. I was very emotional when I heard it,” added McEntire.

McEntire is seemingly not the only one who feels that way, as the single has had an astounding reception from the public ever since it hit streaming services on May 9. Matter of fact, the single has performed so well that it has garnered Reba McEntire a new personal best in her era of streaming.
