When Miranda Lambert revealed the tracklist for her upcoming album, Postcards From Texas, earlier this week, among the 14 tracks was a collaboration with one of her fellow Texans and country artists, “Pretty Heart” hitmaker Parker McCollum.

Lambert’s Postcards From Texas is out Sept. 13 and includes the McCollum duet, “Santa Fe.” The song was written by Lambert, Jesse Frasure, Jessie Jo Dillon and Dean Dillon.
On July 24, McCollum wrote on X, “Absolutely honored to be a part of this album. Been a huge fan of Miranda since I was just a kid so to have the opportunity to collab with her is truly a dream come true. One of the greatest talents this business has ever seen.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the two have collaborated; on McCollum’s 2021 album Gold Chain Cowboy, Lambert co-wrote the song “Falling Apart” with McCollum and Jon Randall. McCollum also previously opened shows for Lambert on her 2019 headlining Wild Card Tour.
In July 2023, McCollum also praised Lambert after watching one of Lambert’s Las Vegas residency shows, writing on X, “Saw Miranda Lamberts show in Vegas tonight. Bought a ticket, went in through the front and enjoyed the show as a true fan. Even bought some merch. Absolutely remarkable performance. And an even better person. Deserves nothing but respect.”
To date, McCollum has earned three No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hits: “Pretty Heart,” “To Be Loved By You” and “Burn It Down.” Last year, he released his fourth full-length album, Never Enough.
With Postcards From Texas, ACM Triple Crown winner Lambert will celebrate her first album since signing with Republic Records earlier this year. To date, she has earned seven pinnacle-reaching albums on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, and has won a trio of Grammy trophies, as well as 14 Country Music Association Awards. Lambert is also the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, and is poised to add to her considerable accolades with her new music.
