It’s a regular night at the Music City Rodeo—boots dusty, popcorn popping, everyone just waiting for the next bull to buck—when suddenly Reba McEntire struts onto the stage and waves in two surprise guests. Out walk Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson like it’s the most casual thing in the world. The crowd goes from polite applause to full-throttle screaming in eleven seconds flat. Together, the three trailblazers unleash “Trailblazer,” turning that rodeo arena into a roaring campfire sing-along where every chorus crackles louder than the last. Folks didn’t just watch a show; they walked away with a story they’ll still be telling over coffee years from now.

Reba McEntire is no stranger to rodeo. In fact, she was discovered nearly 50 years ago in 1974, while singing the national anthem at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City. Since then, she has become a staple at many major rodeo events, including RodeoHouston.

To close out the first night of the Music City Rodeo, Reba performed a 90-minute set featuring a variety of her hit songs from throughout the decades. The audience was in for a special treat when the “Fancy” singer invited Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson to join her on stage for a surprise performance of their latest collaboration.

The trio debuted “Trailblazer” at the recent ACM Awards, and many viewers called it the highlight of the night. The official track was released following the show and generated 2.6 million on-demand streams in its first week. It broke a personal record for Reba, becoming the largest streaming debut of her career.

“Trailblazer” celebrates the iconic women of country music who have paved the way for female artists today. Those include Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, and Patsy Cline, to name a few.
