Miranda Lambert Pulls the Trigger on Gunslinging ‘Actin’ Up’

Miranda Lambert has pulled the trigger on another new track from her upcoming eighth album, Palomino, releasing “Actin’ Up” today (April 7).

A slinky, bad-girl anthem delivered with all the swagger of an Old West gunslinger, “Actin’ Up” is full of bluesy twang and quirky lyrics, as Lambert empowers herself to do what she wants. The track was co-written by the superstar with Luke Dick and Jon Randall, who also co-produced the album, and helped give both the album and her upcoming Las Vegas residency their name.

“I want a sunset ride / A velvet rodeo / A Colorado high / A California glow / I want to see the desert / From a painted palomino / Señorita need to have a little fun / I’m actin’ up,” goes the chorus.

Out April 29, Palomino features 15 tracks and marks Lambert’s first solo project since 2019’s GRAMMY-winning Wildcard. Meanwhile, her very first Las Vegas residency kicks off in September, and tickets are on sale now.

Titled Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo The Las Vegas Residency, tickets for her first batch of 24 dates at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino go on sale to the general public today (April 7), at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.com/MirandaVegas.
