NASHVILLE, TN (August 22, 2017) – “Nashville spitfire” (People Magazine) RaeLynn will make an appearance later this fall on CMT’s longest running original non-music series “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team.” With an average of 3.3 million weekly viewers last season, this year’s episodes follows a new group looking to fulfill a lifelong dream by landing a highly-coveted spot on the elite Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad. Tune in Thursday, September 28 at 10pm ET/PT to watch the team hopefuls perform an original dance routine they created to RaeLynn’s current single “Lonely Call.”
As the most-added song from a solo female the week it impacted country radio, “Lonely Call” has been praised by Taste of Country for showcasing a “…newfound musical maturity and perspective,” also noting that her “…uniquely smoky vocal tone is perfectly suited to the aching, regretful subject matter that she’s delivering, and the result is a track that is so universally identifiable that it could very well carry her career to new heights at country radio.”
Country music’s darling co-wrote the undeniably relatable track with Nicolle Galyon and Rob Hawkins, featuring lyrics inspired by true events she shared exclusively with Entertainment Tonight. The recently released Chris Hicky-directed music video stars the singer/songwriter’s own girlfriends and family with her signature neon pink glowing throughout. “Lonely Call” is the second single from her No. 1 debut album WildHorse, which was recently honored at the Billboard Country Power Players reception in Nashville and named as one of Rolling Stone’s “Best Country and Americana Albums of 2017 So Far”.
RaeLynn has experienced other dreams coming true lately as the “country Katy Perry” (Newsday)continues her banner year. In July, Little Big Town provided harmonies for a beautifully moving take on “Love Triangle” at the historic Ryman Auditorium and this past week, she performed a “rousing version” (Taste of Country) of “We Were Us” onstage with Keith Urban. Also featured in this month’s issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, fans can catch her out on tour now with an upcoming Luke Bryan date on August 24 in Canandaigua, NY and more RaVe tour dates (see below) through the fall.

RaeLynn’s current single “Lonely Call” is the follow-up to her powerful first track “Love Triangle” from the Warner Bros.
