Morgan Wallen is Keeping Fans Guessing About Duet Partner

Keeping fans on the edge of their seats isn’t the goal of every artist, but Morgan Wallen is doing just that when it comes to his “What I Want” duet partner. Fans first got excited about the song when Wallen confirmed a crucial detail on X, formerly Twitter, after one user asked Wallen if “What I Want” would be a duet with a female singer. Wallen replied, “Indeed, sir,” with no additional clarification.

This casual response represents a massive milestone for the artist, who has never previously collaborated with a female artist on one of his albums. However, the announcement left fans with one very important question: Who exactly is Wallen’s female duet partner in the upcoming release, and when will her identity be revealed?

Many people love a good mystery, and Wallen fans are no exception. After the country music star confirmed he’ll be singing a duet with a female artist on his upcoming album, “I’m The Problem,” on X, the comments section lit up with speculation about who might be collaborating with the singer. Guesses ran the gamut from Ella Langley or Lainey Wilson to even Dolly Parton or her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus.

However, one of the most popular guesses was Miranda Lambert, slotted to be one of the primary opening acts for Wallen’s tour. As shown in an Instagram Reel Lambert posted in September 2024, the two have performed live together before. In the video, Lambert joined Wallen on stage for a duet of his hit single, “Thought You Should Know.”

Although many social media users have wagered a guess about who Wallen’s duet partner may be, the singer dashed everyone’s hopes in an Instagram Story shared by 106.3 The Bear. Wallen wrote: “I haven’t seen one person guess the female collab on this album correctly yet.”

As The Tennessean reported, Wallen’s fourth studio album will be released on May 16, 2025. While fans are still waiting to find out the identity of the singer’s female duet partner, Wallen has given them previews of what to expect from the highly anticipated album. For example, in an Instagram post from March 2025, Wallen treated fans to a clip of a new song, “Just In Case.”
