Jenna Paulette Releases “High Noon” Following ACM Whiskey Jam Performance

After releasing her 20-track Horseback (Deluxe) album earlier this year,  Leo33 rising singer/songwriter Jenna Paulette continues to tee up new music with the release of “High Noon,” available now. Paulette debuted the song at “The Academy of Country Music Presents: Whiskey Jam Welcome Party” last night ahead of the 61st ACM Awards. Listen Below.
 
“‘High Noon’ is a two-stepper that I’ve had, tucked away,” Paulette recalls. “When it was played recently for a small circle of people I trust, it became clear how special it was by the way they rallied around it, which tells me it’s time to share it.”
 
Written by Paulette alongside Jordan Reynolds, Jordan Minton and Mark Trussell, and produced by Will Bundy, “High Noon” underscores the state of peace and contentment that comes with a stable relationship. 

“High Noon” arrives on the heels of Paulette earning her first No. 1 at Texas radio with “Steady” – which she credits her husband, Ross, for inspiring. Together, when she’s not on tour, they ranch in south west Texas. 
 
In 2025, Paulette launched her Sunrise and Sunset Boots collection with Justin Boots, and continued to expand her women’s rangewear line with Ely Cattleman, CowboyGirl. To learn more, visit JennaPaulette.com.

JENNA PAULETTE RELEASES HORSEBACK (DELUXE)

Leo33 rising singer/songwriter Jenna Paulette arrives today with her 20-track Horseback (Deluxe) album, featuring three previously unreleased songs, including a duet rendition of “The Dirt” with John Morgan. Additionally, “The Dirt” will be featured on SiriusXM’s Highway On The Horizon beginning today. Listen to it and the full Horseback (Deluxe) album Below. 
 
Produced by Will Bundy, Horseback (Deluxe) expands on the original Horseback album, released in 2024, adding depth with a glimpse into Paulette’s live show with covers of Tim McGraw’s “Cowboy In Me” and Tanya Tucker’s “Texas (When I Die),” recorded live.
 
“I’m excited to release the deluxe version of Horseback featuring new versions of songs on the original record — some turning into duet versions with artists and friends I admire so much, as well as a few live versions of songs I love to cover,” shares Paulette. “The album originally came out just two weeks before my daughter was born, and so much life has happened since then. Revisiting these songs now makes this chapter even more meaningful.
 
“One of those duets is with my dear friend John Morgan,” she adds. “I met him through our friend Jeb Gipson and before we both had record deals, he played a little guitar for me. He’s always been one of the best pickers and singers in town. Our version of ‘The Dirt’ feels complete with him on it.”

Horseback (Deluxe) contains all 13 tracks off the original album, which was released in 2024 and has already amassed 26 million streams to date. Starting with “Wild Is Her Favorite Color,” celebrating the freedom that comes with living authentically, before delving into “3 Kings,” a tip of her hat to the three kings that have influenced her lifestyle, “King George, King Ranch, King James.”
 
The album intertwines upbeat tracks, including previously released “Outside” and “Run The Damn Ball,” harkening back to the values of grit and hard work that Paulette has come to embody, and empowering “Darlin’,” which signals the redemption of love lost and found again. Additionally, “Steady,” which honors strength in consistency and showing up, is resonating with fans as the song breaks into the top 15 at Texas radio.
 
In addition to “The Dirt” with John Morgan, Paulette also finds a new spin on tracks in her duets with longtime friends and collaborators on “Chasin’ Whiskey” and “The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song);” featuring Jake Worthington and Ashley McBryde, respectively. 
 
And, after learning the ropes of navigating a career and newfound motherhood in 2025, Paulette recently jumped Back In The Saddle with a 26-date tour in 2026, with more shows to come.
 
While Paulette took a step back from touring in 2025, her business endeavors continued to expand with the launch of her Sunrise and Sunset Boots collection with Justin Boots, as well as a new Fall collection of her women’s rangewear line with Ely Cattleman, CowboyGirl.

Jenna Paulette Slates NFR Late Night RoundUp + Launches Team CowboyGirl

Rising Leo33 country artist and working cowgirl Jenna Paulette is preparing for the 2025 National Finals Rodeo by wrangling together some of her close friends, fellow singer/songwriters Tyler Booth, Ellis Bullard, Dalton Davis, Noeline Hofmann, Hayden Redwine, Brennan Scott Greene and Chancey Williams, for her inaugural NFR Late Night Round Up on December 6 at 24 Oxford in Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The event, which will take place from 10:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., is free to attend and will be hosted by Dillon Weldon, featuring two sets of writer’s rounds, capped with a performance by Paulette.
 
Additionally, Paulette, in partnership with Ely Cattleman, will sponsor a select group of rising female rodeo athletes beginning with this year’s NFR through 2026 as part of the inaugural Team CowboyGirl. The group of talented women with promising futures in the arena will be outfitted in apparel from her signature women’s rangewear line, CowboyGirl. Four-time female bull riding world champion Jorden Halvorsen has already joined the team, and inquiries from additional athletes are actively being considered.
 
Expanding on the plans for Team CowboyGirl, Paulette shares, “We plan to expand to Breakaway Ropers, Barrel Racers and Broncs and eventually dip into the Ranch Rodeo side. The goal here is to support girls that are headed for greatness.”
 
On being the first signee on the team, Halvorsen adds, “One of my favorite mantras to live by is ‘Be who you want to be, not who you’re told to be.’ I’m so excited to be a part of Team CowboyGirl and represent a brand that embodies this authenticity so well. I love everything that CowboyGirl stands for as a woman in the western industry. It is a symbol of the grit and grace, tough and feminine, that all cowgirls represent. I’m so thankful to Jenna Paulette and the Ely Cattleman team for allowing me to be a part of this!”
 
“We are proud to have Jorden be the first signee for Team CowboyGirl,” Paulette beams. “Jorden is successful at whatever she chooses to put her hand in, and she’s been a friend of mine for a while now. We filmed my music video for ‘Slow Drawl’ together and she was in the launch campaign for CowboyGirl. She is cowboy in every sense of the word and we are honored to support her on the rodeo trail through Team CowboyGirl.”
 
In addition to her NFR Round Up, fans can catch Paulette as an official Wrangler NFR opening act, Dec. 8 on Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night live from the dirt at Thomas & Mack Center. 
 
As Paulette prepares to release new music in 2026, she recently paired up with longtime friend and fellow Texan, Jake Worthington, for a duet of “Chasin’ Whiskey” off her sophomore album.

Jenna Paulette Enlists Jake Worthington for Duet of “Chasin’ Whiskey”

Leo33’s rising country artist Jenna Paulette teams with Jake Worthington on a new duet version of the track “Chasin’ Whiskey,” uncorking a barstool ballad with a lonesome badlands sway.
 
Out today and written by Joe Fox and Tony Lane, the tune was originally released as a solo track on Paulette’s 2024 sophomore album, Horseback, and now finds a broken-hearted pair drowning their sorrows, after love rode off into the sunset for good. 
 
Choosing Worthington as her duet partner was an easy choice for Paulette, who explained their connection, sharing, “Jake and I have been friends for a while, his wife Sophie and I had our babies a few weeks apart and we both hail from Texas with strong ties to Oklahoma. Outside of that, he’s just hard not to love. He has one of the most iconic voices of our generation and I’m just so thankful that he hopped on this song with me. It feels like it should’ve always been this way.”
 
“I’m honored to be on this song with my friend Jenna,” Worthington adds. “I think she’s stand up, 10 out of 10, one of one. I think this song’s great, it’s got a great story, we’ve all been there, and I’m proud to sing it with her.” 
 
Featuring a dark-neon vibe built on aching Western fiddle and woozy steel guitar, Paulette’s pristine twang joins Worthington’s barrel-chested baritone, as the new-age country traditionalists come to the same, unfortunate conclusion: You can’t fence in a wild heart.

 
“Chasin’ Whiskey” (feat. Jake Worthington) follows the September release of Paulette’s easy-rolling “Steady,” which the lifelong cowgirl co-wrote with Will Bundy and Rhett Akins. All about the romantic bliss of a trusty, dependable partner, the tune marks a preview of Paulette’s upcoming 2026 recording project. 
 
Meanwhile, the Texas native likewise teamed with hitmaker Ashley McBryde on a new duet version of “The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song),” which was also featured on Horseback as a solo ballad. 
 
In other news, the new mom recently welcomed the fall line of her CowboyGirl range-wear collection, in partnership with Ely Cattleman. Arriving one year after her women’s fashion brand launched, it features fresh seasonal details – including new autumn-oriented colors, a seasonal plaid and an expansion of the line to include the Little CowboyGirl collection (designed with the same fabrics in a “mommy down” style for mothers and daughters to wear together).

About Jake Worthington: 
For Big Loud Texas traditionalist Jake Worthington, country music is in his DNA. The La Porte, Texas native was raised on his grandfather's porch performances of Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones, and soon picked up his own Gibson acoustic to realize the breadth of his soon-to-be-classic, wide, and wild voice. Now, Worthington breathes fresh life into dance halls, beer joints, and ballrooms from Texas to Tennessee with his growing catalog – his sophomore album When I Write The Song is out now with Miranda Lambert collaboration “Hello Shitty Day,” “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart),” viral “It Ain’t The Whiskey” and more. Captivating the masses with his honky-tonk stylings, the singer-songwriter hits the road this fall joining Zach Top as direct support on all dates of the Cold Beer & Country Music Tour followed by supporting slots on Jon Pardi’s Honkytonk Hollywood Tour. “I believe in country music as much as I believe in my next breath,” Worthington declares, and “blame it on my raising, but I think there ought to be room for country in country music.”
 

Jenna Paulette & Ashley McBryde Duet on “The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song)” Out Now

When cowgirl and songstress Jenna Paulette released her sophomore album, Horseback, last September, the 13-track project featured one song in particular that held a special place in the Texan’s heart. “The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song),” written by Ashley McBryde, Matraca Berg and Lori McKenna, was dedicated to Paulette’s grandfather, and encapsulates the reverence felt toward the patriarch who shaped her life. 
 
Today, Paulette is teaming up with McBryde for a special collaboration version of the track, as the pair release a duet of the song, available everywhere now. Listen Below.
 
“I grew up in a ranching family on the Texas/Oklahoma line in Thackerville, Oklahoma,” Paulette reflected on her upbringing at her recent Opry appearance, sharing the inspiration behind the song. “I’d be listening to Don Williams, Eddie Arnold and George Strait in my grandad’s ranch truck as we checked cattle, and I just thought to myself, ‘well, if they can sing about what they’re living, maybe I can too.’ That Grandaddy that took me with him to check cows made a huge impact on me. 
 
“This song was sent to me by the A&R from my label, and was written by Ashley McBryde, Matraca Berg and Lori McKenna,” she added. “When it was sent to me, I asked ‘do you think they would mind if I put my grandad into these lyrics?" I thought, I just want to put him all the way in it, and I want my daughter, who is 7 months old, to be able to know my grandaddy because of this song. And they said yes, very graciously. So I put it on my record that came out a month before she was born, and Ashley McBryde actually said yes to putting out a duet version including her own lyrics to this song.”
 
“The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song)” was originally released as a solo track on Horseback on Sept. 6, 2024. Upon its release, Paulette remarked that Horseback “is a culmination of perspectives I have of myself—to the things my family instilled in me, the men and women I grew up with and the ones I am blessed to be surrounded by where we live in a small town in West Texas. A window into the way so many of us feel and the things we value.”  
 
Paulette most recently released “How To Make A Cowboy Cry” in April, which coincided with the kickoff of her headlining Horseback Acoustic Tour. 
 
Since November 2024, Paulette has further expanded her brand, teaming up with Ely Cattleman for her women’s rangewear collection, CowboyGirl, and Justin Boots for her recently-launched Sunrise and Sunset Boots collection. Both bridge the gap in women’s fashion, creating apparel that’s both functional and appealing. CowboyGirl is available now at BootBarn.com, while the Sunrise and Sunset Boots are available at JustinBoots.com.

About Ashley McBryde:

Jenna Paulette & Justin Boots Launch “Sunrise and Sunset Boots”

Jenna Paulette didn’t set out to create cowgirl music and apparel that’s both functional and appealing, however as she has juggled working on ranches and on tour, the cowgirl and songstress created where she saw the need.
 
With her new boot line in partnership with Justin Boots, Sunrise and Sunset Boots, launching today, just like her music, the boots are designed for cowgirls who work hard from sunup to sundown, and are meant to be worn everywhere from the ranch to the stage.
 
“It’s a dream come true to create this line with Justin,” Paulette shares. “It’s a cowboy boot, with a spur lip and durable sole, made for work but pretty enough to wear out on the town. The Sunrise And Sunset boot – excited to see them live up to their name!”
 
Crafted with honey roughout leather in Justin’s El Paso, Texas factory, the boots come in 11” and 17” heights, and are built for durability, style and function. Each pair features a spur ledge, pull holes and a traditional leather outsole, making them perfect for cowgirls who need boots as hardworking as they are. Boots are available at JustinBoots.com.

Jenna Paulette Releases “How To Make A Cowboy Cry” + Extends Horseback Acoustic Tour Among Sold Out Shows

Cowgirl and songstress Jenna Paulette releases “How To Make A Cowboy Cry,” her first offering since the September 6, 2024 release of her sophomore album, Horseback. Listen to “How To Make A Cowboy Cry” below.
 
Written by Paulette, Parker Welling and Casey Brown, and produced by Will Bundy, “How To Make A Cowboy Cry” is reflective of Paulette’s current chapter of life after becoming a wife and mother, and underscores that despite their physical toughness, the quickest way to make cowboys cry lies within life’s most meaningful moments.
 
“I wrote ‘How To Make A Cowboy Cry’ right after Ross and I eloped,” explains Paulette. “Truthfully, it was before we thought about having kids, and in a conversation where we were dreaming about it, he named our little girl with two family names—and from that moment on I prayed for one. We have lived these moments in this song…from our wedding day, to two pink lines, to a moment in the truck headed in Colorado to work calves listening to Chris Ledoux.”

About Jenna Paulette: 
A CMT Next Women of Country honoree and an Apple Music’s Country Riser, singer-songwriter Jenna Paulette — a cowgirl who came of age amid the gritty realities of ranch life — is part of Nashville’s growing wave of female artists who are rewriting the rules and charting their own paths. Paulette settled in Nashville in 2015, where she struck up a mentorship with Ashley Gorley – a veteran songwriter with 80+ No. 1 tunes under his belt – which ultimately led to her publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music in June 2021.

With the arrival of her debut album The Girl I Was in 2023, Grammy.com remarked the project as “transformative,” noting it “fuses the sounds of Twain and Miranda Lambert, tackling mental health with the somber ‘You Ain't No Cowboy’ and waxing philosophical on ‘Country In The Girl.’” She continued to spotlight her authentic western lifestyle last year, performing the national anthem at the National Finals Rodeo, making her Grand Ole Opry Debut and performing in multiple festivals including CMA Fest. Paulette recently signed with independent label Leo33. Paulette’s sophomore album, Horseback, is available everywhere now. For more information, visit www.jennapaulette.com.

Jenna Paulette & Ely Cattleman Launch CowboyGirl Women’s Rangewear Collection

Cowgirl and songstress Jenna Paulette weaves together the concept of her sophomore album Horseback and her passion for ranching with her latest endeavor, CowboyGirl, a women’s rangewear line in partnership with Ely Cattleman, available now online and in-store exclusively at more than 200 Boot Barn locations. View the collection HERE.
 
“I have been working on this line for over five years, and I was lucky enough to find a partner to make it a reality in Ely Cattleman,” shares Paulette. “They paid attention to every detail and have been as passionate about bringing this line to the working cowgirl, and those who love the lifestyle, as I am.” 
 
With Cowboys & Indians doting the line as “a marriage between beauty and practicality,” CowboyGirl addresses the need for functionality in the saddle, designed to offer all the same benefits that men need working cattle, but with a style that is vintage and feminine. Small details tie the CowboyGirl collection together and make it relative to today’s functional needs, while honoring generations past.  
 
“Jenna represents both of the words associated with Ely Cattleman: Authentic and Western. Staying true to Jenna's vision, CowboyGirl offers functional apparel for the western lifestyle women who, ‘get the job done.’ We are excited to see CowboyGirl come to life with the support of our exclusive retail partner, Boot Barn,” shared Chris Stein, president of Ely Cattleman.
 
The collection highlights two new ideologies: the State Flower of each state, – beginning with Texas, where Jenna grew up, and Oklahoma, where Jenna's family ranch was – and the quilt pattern prints, implying family while acknowledging the generations of ranching women and the families they have raised and supported.  
 
Born from the saddle, Horseback is a culmination of the experiences and values that have shaped Paulette, many of which became clearer after rediscovering herself with her debut The Girl I Was in 2023. Paulette shared upon its release, “So much has happened, so much good, since The Girl I Was. All I’ve got to say is the girl I was pretending to be before I got back to me…you ain’t getting that Horseback. The woman I am is here to stay. This album is a picture of who she was always meant to be.”

Jenna Paulette Releases 13-Track Sophomore Album, ‘Horseback’

Working cowgirl and songstress Jenna Paulette has worn her authenticity on her sleeve throughout her career with a mix of grit and vulnerability. On her debut album The Girl I Was in 2023, Paulette candidly depicted her journey of self discovery following a toxic ten year relationship. Now, Paulette is arriving on the other side of that journey, with a project that reflects on all the experiences and values that have shaped her into that girl, with the release of her sophomore album, Horseback, available now via Leo33. 
 
Listen to Horseback HERE.
 
“The Horseback album is a culmination of perspectives I have of myself—to the things my family instilled in me, the men and women I grew up with and the one’s I am blessed to be surrounded by where we live in a small town in West Texas,” shares Paulette. “A window into the way so many of us feel and the things we value.”  
 
Consisting of 13 tracks, Horseback starts off with “Wild Is Her Favorite Color,” celebrating the freedom that comes with living authentically, before delving into “3 Kings,” a tip of her hat to the three kings that have influenced her lifestyle, “King George, King Ranch, King James.”
 
The album intertwines upbeat tracks, including previously released “Outside” and “Run The Damn Ball,” harkening back to the values of grit and hard work that Paulette has come to embody, with the heartbreak ballad “Chasin’ Whiskey” and empowering “Darlin,’” both of which signal the redemption of love lost and found again. 
 
Having co-written eight of the 13 songs on the project, Paulette reflects on the songwriting and selection process, stating, “The songs were mostly inspired on the back of my horse driving cattle to the next pasture or set of pens. Sung into my phone in hopes of not forgetting the budding melody or thought. Out where there is enough room to think. Anything I didn’t write myself was most likely listened to on one bar of service in my husband’s dusty Dodge full of cowboys or horseback on the top of a hill looking for cows. I then put my heart and story into the lyric.
 
“So much has happened, so much good, since The Girl I Was. All I’ve got to say is the girl I was pretending to be before I got back to me…you ain’t getting that Horseback. The woman I am is here to stay. This album is a picture of who she was always meant to be.”

Perhaps the most poignant of all is Paulette’s title track, “Horseback,” which portrays Paulette arriving confident in this new era of her life. “The title track is my ‘Wide Open Spaces,’ my rebellion against the way people say things need to be…It’s the bridge between leaving somewhere and finding some place in what’s left of the middle of nowhere that is real and is home,” she shares.
 
To coincide with the album’s release, and in a partnership with Ely & Walker apparel company (Home of Ely Cattleman shirts), Jenna Paulette brings to life a functional working female cowboy collection called CowboyGirl. This collection addresses the need for functionality in the saddle, designed to offer all the same benefits that men need working cattle, but with a style that is vintage and feminine. Small details tie the CowboyGirl collection together and make it relative to today’s functional needs, while honoring generations past.  
 
The collection will highlight two new ideologies: the State Flowers of Texas, where Jenna grew up, and Oklahoma, where Jenna’s family ranch was, and will be available exclusively at over 200 Boot Barn locations beginning November 1, 2024.

Jenna Paulette Releases “Run The Damn Ball” off Upcoming Album ‘Horseback’

Leo33 recording artist Jenna Paulette releases her fall-time anthem, “Run The Damn Ball,” today in anticipation of her sophomore album, Horseback, available Sept. 6. Listen Below.
 
“I am of the firm belief that the word of God, family, livestock, small towns, slow cooking and team sports are some of the things that teach you the most about life and yourself,” Paulette shares. “They create good character and accountability. This song is about doing the simple things every day… not worrying about making it fancy or getting credit. Keep your head down, do what’s necessary, and let it all add up to a big win in life. Go tell someone to pass the aux cable and the green beans—crank this song and run the damn ball.”
 
Written by Rodney Clawson, Casey Beathard and Hunter Phelps, “Run The Damn Ball” harkens back to the values of grit and hard work that Paulette carries with her throughout her north Texas ranching lifestyle.

“Run The Damn Ball” is the latest preview of Paulette’s upcoming sophomore album Horseback, arriving Sept. 6 via Leo33. A culmination of all aspects of her life that have shaped her, including heartbreak and newfound love, Horseback further expands on her debut album The Girl I Was.
 
In an interview with Cowboys & Indians in June, Paulette shared, “​​This record is a cumulation of perspectives I have from the moments and people that made me: rural, cowboy, America, my biggest heartaches leading to my healing, the men and women I’m so proud to come from and represent.”
 
Paulette is currently on the road with Aaron Watson as part of The Armadillo Dance Hall Tour and will support select dates of the CMT Next Women of Country Tour with Kimberly Perry this month. For more information on new music and upcoming shows, visit jennapaulette.com or follow @JennaPaulette on all social platforms.

Jenna Paulette Releases “Outside” off Upcoming Sophomore Album ‘Horseback’

For cowgirl and songstress Jenna Paulette, whose roots were planted on a ranch in Thackerville, Oklahoma where she grew up working cattle with her grandaddy, being outside is where she has always felt most true to herself. It’s this sentiment of finding solace in the outdoors that inspired her latest release, “Outside,” available now. Listen HERE.
 
“I heard this song and instantly saw myself in it,” reflects Paulette. “We adjusted a few of the lyrics to better fit the 'me' that played Little House on the Prairie with my sisters under the pecan trees at my family's ranch. ‘Outside’ is what shaped me into the woman and artist I am--a west wind blowing through barbed wire truly makes me feel the most at home in my own skin.”
 
Written by Kelley Lovelace, Ashley Gorley and Dallas Davidson, and produced by Will Bundy, “Outside” is one of 13 tracks on Paulette’s upcoming sophomore album Horseback, arriving Sept. 6 via Leo33. A culmination of all aspects of her life that have shaped her, including heartbreak and newfound love, Horseback further expands on her debut album The Girl I Was.
 
In an interview with Cowboys & Indians last month, Paulette shared, “​​This record is a cumulation of perspectives I have from the moments and people that made me: rural, cowboy, America, my biggest heartaches leading to my healing, the men and women I’m so proud to come from and represent.”
 
Paulette released The Girl I Was (Red Dirt Deluxe) in March of this year, marking the one-year anniversary, which swiftly earned critical acclaim from outlets including People Magazine and Grammy.com. 
 
Paulette is currently on the road with Aaron Watson as part of The Armadillo Dance Hall Tour. For more information on new music and upcoming shows, visit jennapaulette.com or follow @JennaPaulette on all social platforms.

Jenna Paulette Announces Sophomore Album ‘HORSEBACK’, Arriving Sept. 6

Working cowgirl and songstress Jenna Paulette has been hard at work on new music since signing with independent record label Leo33 at the beginning of this year. Approaching her new project happily married and with a baby on the way, Paulette is fully embracing all aspects of her life that have shaped her, including heartbreaks and newfound love, in her upcoming sophomore album HORSEBACK, arriving Sept. 6, 2024. Pre-save HERE.
 
“​​This record is a cumulation of perspectives I have from the moments and people that made me: rural, cowboy, America, my biggest heartaches leading to my healing, the men and women I’m so proud to come from and represent,” Paulette shared exclusively with Cowboys & Indians. 
 
“From the ‘ear break’ on the record ‘Prairie Primrose,’ which I literally wrote most of from the saddle, to one of my favorites to perform live, ‘Run the Damn Ball,’ to ‘The Prophet (Grandaddy’s Song),’ it’s all a picture of the perspectives and personalities I’ve been influenced by throughout my life. A body of work I can stand behind,” she adds.
 
With “Darlin’” and “Hang Your Hat” already available, Paulette is offering fans a further taste of what to expect from the album with “Wild Is Her Favorite Color,” out today. Written by ACM and CMA Award-winning songwriters Lori McKenna, Liz Rose and Hillary Lindsey, “Wild Is Her Favorite Color” celebrates the freedom that comes with leaving your heart on your sleeve and living authentically.
 
“Being wild has always gotten a bad rap, but I’ve always felt wild,” Paulette reflected from the saddle on Instagram. “Not Fireball shots at 3 A.M. wild, but honeysuckle growing up an old fence post. Horse wide open in a pasture. Sunset on fire, wind in my hair kind of wild. The kind of wild that God smiles about because he’s the one that made the wild… Not people’s opinions, not my own opinions about myself, not the constraints of society, undomesticated but feminine. Ruled by her maker and not the things the world says will make her. Free to be whatever it is that truly makes me come alive. So yes, I’m wild. And I’m hoping that when I’m done with it, it won’t have such a bad rap.”
 
Listen to “Wild Is Her Favorite Color”  Below.
 
Paulette released The Girl I Was (Red Dirt Deluxe) in March, marking the one-year anniversary of The Girl I Was, which swiftly earned critical acclaim from outlets including People Magazine and Grammy.com. Written during a time in her life when she was navigating the end of a toxic relationship, The Girl I Was chronicled Paulette’s journey in overcoming heartbreak and self discovery.

WATCH Jenna Paulette’s “Darlin’”

When country songstress Jenna Paulette released “Darlin’” earlier this year, it became her first single on independent record label Leo33. Written by Paulette alongside Jess Cayne and Matthew Morrisey, “Darlin’” began the next chapter of her story –  juxtaposing the manipulation of a past relationship with the restored confidence that comes with true love – following the success of her debut album The Girl I Was in March 2023.
 
Filmed in far West Texas by director Ben Christensen and starring Paulette, Jaci Hammons, Roscoe Edmonds, Bill Fort, PRCA saddle bronc rider Jarrod Hammons and actor James Landry Hébert (1883, Stranger Things), the “Darlin’” official music video is available now following its premiere with CMT in Times Square. 
 
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Louis L’Amour, the video follows actress and real life cowgirl Jaci Hammons as she attempts to escape the grips of a snake oil salesman, with the help of a good samaritan cowboy she falls in love with. In many ways, the cinematic video is a hint at Paulette’s own experiences chronicled in The Girl I Was.
 
“To me, ‘Darlin’’ is a dramatized western parallel to my story of getting free, ‘The Lonesome Road to ‘Darlin.’’ There are little details in it that reference back to my real life,” Paulette, who is happily married and expecting her first child this fall, shared with CMT. “What we didn’t think would actually be a parallel was the fact that I am expecting my first baby girl right now, that was like a little wink from God to me, as I had already written the treatment for the video before finding out my husband and I were expecting. It’s so full circle, and represents the best of new beginnings.”
 
When reflecting on what she hopes fans will take away from the video, Paulette adds, “I hope people can watch this and see that there is life after getting out of a bad relationship, hope when you thought there wasn’t any and that God can redeem anything.”
 
Paulette most recently released “Hang Your Hat” as she prepares her sophomore album, her first since signing with Leo33. A continuation of her journey chronicled, “Hang Your Hat” details newfound love, dependable through the good times and the bad. 
 
The Girl I Was (Red Dirt Deluxe) arrived in March, marking the one-year anniversary of The Girl I Was, which swiftly earned critical acclaim from outlets including People Magazine and Grammy.com.

Jenna Paulette & Justin Boots Rally Fans to Support the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund

When country music songstress Jenna Paulette partnered with Justin Boots last year, Taylor Morton, Public Relations Manager at Justin Boots cited her “unwavering commitment to authentic storytelling” for the inspiration behind the partnership, promising to go beyond just boots with “a shared dedication to celebrating the western way of life.”
 
Nearly a year later, the country singer from Lewisville, Texas is making good on that promise – holding true to her cowgirl roots and giving back to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund through a multi-faceted campaign. The campaign, which kicked off Tuesday, May 7, received national attention with an Alltroo branded car at NASCAR’s North Wilkesboro All-Star Weekend on Sunday, May 19. It will culminate in a lucky fan and their guest winning a trip to join Paulette in Las Vegas during the 2024 National Finals Rodeo in December complete with their own custom pair of Justin Boots. 
 
"It was really cool for me to learn about the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund, as a professional athlete. It was really hard for me to imagine doing what I did and not having immediate medical attention in the stadium or proper care in the event of an injury following a game,” remarks Kyle Rudolph, former NFL player and co-founder of Alltroo. “It's really cool to learn about how the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund gives these riders the care and attention they deserve when putting their livelihood on the line in these rodeos."
 
Alltroo is a professional fundraiser that helps nonprofits supercharge their fundraising efforts and gain access to a new community of donors through custom giveaways, known as "Rallies." This Rally is live now and will run through Sept. 3, 2024. Fans who donate to support the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund will receive a designated number of entries for each donation amount, ranging from 40 entries for a $10 donation to 8,000 entries for a $500 donation. View full details HERE.
 
The Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund provides need-based financial assistance to athletes injured through their participation in professional rodeo. To-date, they have awarded nearly $9.5 million to more than 1,350 injured rodeo athletes and their families.

Jenna Paulette Continues to Preview Sophomore Album with “Hang Your Hat,” Out Now

Texas native and rising star Jenna Paulette continues to unveil new music following the recent release of redemptive track “Darlin’,” her first single since signing with innovative independent record label Leo33, with today’s release of “Hang Your Hat.” Listen Below.
 
“I wrote this one with Jim Beavers, Rhett Akins and Smith Ahnquist; Smith had the idea and I instantly fell in love with it,” recalls Paulette. 
 
She continues, “The feel came from wanting something in the vein of ‘Adalida’ –  up tempo and easy to listen to. The hook made it mean something more to me than a simple feel-good song, though: 'I got a heart you can hang your hat on.' Saying to someone you love, ‘hey you can depend on me, I’ll be there in every way.’ That’s where I’m at in life — and I’ve got someone that gave me a safe place to call home, so I’m giving him a heart he can trust.”
 
“Hang Your Hat” is Paulette’s latest release as she prepares her sophomore album, her first since signing with Leo33. A continuation of her journey of self-discovery, “Hang Your Hat” details her newfound love, as she assures him that she’s dependable through the good times and the bad.

Jenna Paulette Releases Debut Single on Leo33, “Darlin’”

With the release of her debut album The Girl I Was last March, Lewisville, Texas native Jenna Paulette detailed her journey overcoming the heartbreak of a toxic relationship and rediscovering her identity – ultimately returning to the girl she was prior. Emerging stronger than ever, Paulette is now turning toward a chapter of redemption and newfound love with “Darlin,’” her first release on Leo33, available now.
 
Reflecting on her personal journey of healing, Paulette shares, “It’s easy when you’re young to meet someone who tells you things that aren’t true about yourself and to believe him until, slowly, he chips away at who you are. If that’s you, I hope this song provides comfort knowing you’re not alone, stirs the courage inside of you to walk away, and offers the reassurance that something better awaits you.” 
 
Written by Paulette alongside Jess Cayne and Matthew Morrisey, “Darlin’” juxtaposes the manipulation of a past relationship with the restored confidence that comes with true love.
 
        He calls me pretty
        And I believe him
        Tells me he loves me
        And God, I can feel it
        His prayer that was answered
        When I was your problem
        Yeah it’s really something
        The way I keep fallin’
        When he calls me darlin’
 
“Darlin’” offers the first taste of new music to come from Paulette on the heels of her record deal with Leo33, as she returns to the studio to prepare her sophomore record for 2024. Paulette’s musical journey has been defined by impactful storytelling, exemplified most recently in the official music video for “You Ain’t No Cowboy” which was released on World Mental Health Day. The video, inspired by the true story of her own cowboy, Ross, challenges mental health stigma in the agricultural community and has over 177,000 views.
 
Paulette’s debut album, The Girl I Was, was released in March 2023 and has amassed over 30M on-demand streams.
