Miranda Lambert set the stage on fire during her headlining performance at the Stagecoach Festival when she surprised the crowd with none other than Reba McEntire, country music’s queen, joining her for a special duet. The unexpected collaboration between two of country music’s biggest stars had fans screaming with excitement, making this performance one of the standout moments of the festival.

The superstars joined forces to perform an epic, three-song finale.

Miranda Lambert headlined Stagecoach, country music’s biggest festival, on Saturday night, and brought double the star power by welcoming surprise guest Reba McEntire to the stage during her set.

Fresh off her 48-date Las Vegas residency, Lambert hit the Stagecoach main stage to cap off Saturday’s festivities. Her set included performances of some of her biggest hits, including Kerosene, “Heart Like Mine,” “If I Was A Cowboy,” “Automatic,” and more.

 

At the end of her set, Lambert shocked fans when she was joined by Country Music Hall of Famer and newly announced ACM Awards host, Reba McEntire, to the stage for an epic, three-song finale.

“Welcome to the stage, Stagecoach, Miss Reba McEntire,” Lambert shouted as fans instantaneously lost their minds with excitement from the crowd.

First, the country queens joined forces to sing Lambert’s fan-favorite “Mama’s Broken Heart.” They then went into McEntire’s “Fancy” before closing out the performance with a rowdy rendition of Lambert’s “Gunpowder & Lead.”

Several fans captured footage of the moment on social media. “I can die happy now,” a TikTok user wrote after watching the female artists perform together.

Another shared, “Miranda Lambert bringing out Reba” Duo we all needed.”

The morning after the show, ACM Triple Crown winner, Lambert shared a few photos from their time at Stagecoach together alongside a heartfelt caption.

“Reba at stagecoach y’all. Thank you to my hero and friend for coming out here as my special guest. I’ll never forget it. She brought all the fire,” she wrote.

Reba was quick to respond via Instagram stories, writing, “Thanks for asking me to be a part of such a special night,” alongside the hashtag “badass sisters.”

Lambert’s Stagecoach set also included the debut of her brand new single, “Wranglers.” The song is set for release on May 3, however, Stagecoach festivalgoers got the first listen.

“‘Wranglers’ is a classic tale of a woman taking her power back,” Lambert shared of the song. “I think we can all identify with the character in this song, because we have all had a time in our life where we needed to find our strength, and also get a little revenge on someone who did us wrong or hurt us. This offers such a cool, raging take on how something like this unravels. I think the songwriters nailed it.

“I am so proud to sing it. It feels like it could have been on the same record as ‘Gunpowder & Lead’ in a lot of ways. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is a pretty powerful statement, and the way it’s written, you can tell, we’re not kidding.”

The festival is set to close out with a performance from Morgan Wallen.
