Country music icon Reba McEntire continues to prove why she's one of the genre’s most enduring forces, scoring the biggest streaming debut of her career with her new single “Trailblazer,” a powerhouse collaboration with Lainey Wilson and Miranda Lambert. The anthem—celebrating the legacy, grit, and unstoppable spirit of women in country music—garnered an impressive 2.6 million on-demand streams in its first week, marking a new personal best for Reba in the streaming era.

Blending Reba’s iconic vocals with the bold authenticity of Wilson and the fiery charisma of Lambert, “Trailblazer” is more than a song—it’s a generational moment. The track has resonated deeply with fans across age groups, earning widespread praise for its powerful message and dynamic trio performance.

Following its electrifying live debut at the ACM Awards, “Trailblazers” quickly became one of the highest-streaming songs of the week, reaching 882,000 daily streams by day 3 post-performance—further proving its cultural and commercial impact.

Since its release, “Trailblazer” has garnered widespread praise from critics:

"Wilson is just about in arguably the best thing to happen to country music since Miranda Lambert, who in turn was one of the best things to happen since Reba. So it felt intuitively natural — but by no means commercially inevitable — when those three teamed up…” Variety

“McEntire, Lambert and Wilson's distinctive vocals stand out, before coming together for a sumptuous harmony throughout the hook - in a way, symbolising what ‘Trailblazer’ is all about. The track carries a refreshingly traditional-leaning sound, giving ‘Trailblazer’ an aptly timeless, era-spanning feel.” - Holler

“Powerful’” - Cowgirl Magazine
