Country music icon Trisha Yearwood is embracing a new creative chapter in her career with the announcement of an intimate, songwriter-focused album and an accompanying seven-city tour in 2025.
For the first time in her legendary career, Yearwood is releasing an album entirely made up of songs she wrote or co-wrote.
It’s a deeply personal project that gives fans an inside look at her experiences, emotions, and artistry as a songwriter.
The album doesn’t have an official title just yet, but the press release describes it as a “songwriter album,” highlighting its introspective nature and the heartfelt storytelling that has made Yearwood a beloved name in country music for decades.
Let’s dive into everything we know about the album, its themes, the special performance at The Bluebird Café, and the tour that will bring Trisha’s new music to fans across the country.

Trisha Yearwood has spent decades as one of country music’s most celebrated vocalists, bringing to life some of the most iconic songs in the genre.
But while she has written songs before, she has never released an album that is exclusively made up of songs she penned herself—until now.
This project is an incredibly personal endeavor for the Grammy-winning artist, and it promises to showcase a different side of her.
Yearwood gave fans a sneak peek of the album through the single “Put It in a Song,” which was released last year.
The song hinted at the deep storytelling that fans can expect from the full album.
Another standout track is “The Wall or the Way Over,” a song that Yearwood will perform live on The Kelly Clarkson Show later this month.
The song tackles an important theme:
“Will you be an obstacle in someone’s journey, or will you encourage them to rise?”
This thought-provoking question forms the heart of the song, reflecting the album’s deeply personal and emotional themes.
In true songwriter fashion, Trisha Yearwood chose to preview some of her new music at The Bluebird Café, one of Nashville’s most legendary music venues.
The Bluebird Café is known for its small, intimate setting where songwriters are given the spotlight.
During her performance, Yearwood reflected on what it meant to perform these deeply personal songs in such a meaningful space:
“The Bluebird Café is the place where the songwriter is protected, and it feels like the perfect place to be vulnerable. Thanks for letting me share my songs with you.”
The setlist for the night included both new music and fan-favorite classics like:
It was a special night for fans lucky enough to attend, offering a glimpse into the raw emotion and artistry that will define Yearwood’s upcoming album and tour.
To celebrate her new album, Yearwood is taking the songs on the road with a seven-city tour beginning in April 2025.
Unlike her past tours that often included large venues, this time she’s opting for smaller, more intimate theaters—a deliberate choice that aligns with the deeply personal nature of her new music.
By performing in intimate settings, Yearwood is ensuring that fans get an up-close-and-personal experience, one where the storytelling and emotion in each song can truly shine.
Yearwood won’t be hitting the road alone. She’s bringing along Sunny Sweeney and Erin Enderlin, two incredibly talented singer-songwriters who are also featured on her new album.
Both Sweeney and Enderlin are known for their rich storytelling and deep country roots, making them perfect additions to a tour that highlights the art of songwriting.
Fans can expect a night full of powerful lyrics, heartfelt performances, and behind-the-scenes stories about the songs and the inspirations behind them.
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, February 21. Given Yearwood’s dedicated fan base and the unique nature of this tour, tickets are expected to sell out quickly.
For fans who want to secure their seats early, it’s recommended to:
This upcoming project is more than just another album—it’s a new era for Trisha Yearwood.
For an artist who has spent decades interpreting other writers’ songs with unmatched emotion and power, this new album allows her to step into the role of the storyteller herself.
Her choice to embrace intimate venues over large arenas signals just how personal this project is for her.
Instead of simply performing, she’s inviting fans into her world, sharing the stories behind the songs, and giving them a glimpse of her most vulnerable and authentic self.
With the release of this album and the 2025 tour, Yearwood is proving once again why she’s one of country music’s most enduring and beloved voices.
