“Thank God for the women before us,” McEntire shared in the clip, listing some of her own idols as performers she looked up to at the start of her career. “They all stuck together and helped each other out,” she said.

Wilson and Lambert agreed, each sharing their own perspective on McEntire’s powerful statement. “[It’s] about high-fiving each other and running to the finish line together,” Wilson said. Lambert added that working together is more fun than working alone. Based on the hugs, smiles, and overall heartwarming camaraderie in the video, her fellow singers clearly feel the same way.

In a longer version of the clip posted to YouTube, McEntire shared how it felt to be in the studio with Lambert and Wilson. “Getting to sing with you guys, and y’all sing in the harmony parts, it’s just angel singing,” McEntire said. “It just makes my heart so happy.”

Lambert recalled a funny fangirl moment from the studio session, when Wilson and she had to keep it together after their first run-through. “The first time we ran through the chorus, me and Lainey were like, ‘Oh my god, did that just happen?'” Lambert shared. The other two singers laughed, and Wilson confessed she was telling herself to “be cool” after the take.

At the conclusion of the clip, McEntire shared what she hopes future generations of women in country will look like. “I hope that in a 100 years, the girls that follow behind us have strong work ethics, and they love country music, and represent it well.” There’s no telling what the future holds, but this trio is certainly paving the way.
