Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire & Miranda Lambert sit down ahead of the ACM’s and share how they came together to create their new collab, “Trailblazer.” They share how Brandy Clark, Dolly Parton and more influenced the song, producing and recording together and more!
Are you excited for “Trailblazer?” Let us know in the comments!
Melinda Newman:
I wanna start by just asking how the song came together.
Miranda Lambert:
The first conversation was an idea that we could write a song for all of us to sing together, right?
And you brought up Brandy because we all love her so much.
Reba McEntire:
Love Brandy Clark.
Miranda Lambert:
Yes.
Reba McEntire:
Her writing, her singing, everything about her.
Miranda Lambert:
Yeah, so we went to my back porch and-
Lainey Wilson:
Yeah, we were like, okay, we’re gonna get to do a song with Reba. So what kind of song do you think that like, what do we write, you know?
Miranda Lambert:
And she was on set, so we were calling her and trying to FaceTime and figure out, like, what’s the right message for this, this trio, like, what do we really want to say in a three minute song? Because it felt really important to all of us, I think.
Reba McEntire:
And I had texted with Brandy the day before, giving her some ideas, and then when I finally got to hear it, I was ecstatic. Thrilled to pieces, and Brandy said that was the fastest she’s ever written a song because they gelled so well together.
Lainey Wilson:
We were just having a conversation about how both of y’all have influenced me, and how it’s just it’s kind of like passing the torch and blazing trails for each other. And so it’s just like, you know, generation after generation it’s going to continue. Well, we got to keep blazing those trails for the next ones.
