Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton are showing their love for country music legends in a way only true fans would notice. Their new duet, “A Song to Sing,” released on July 11, immediately transported listeners back to the golden era of ’70s and ’80s country, drawing comparisons to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ iconic “Islands in the Stream.”
The official music video, premiered on August 22, embraces the retro vibe fully. Lambert and Stapleton groove in roller disco attire, with Stapleton’s wife Morgane dazzling in a glittery gold jumpsuit. But the real Easter eggs come in the form of jewelry: Stapleton wears a gold lion necklace that once belonged to Kenny Rogers, while Lambert rocks clip-on hoop earrings from Dolly Parton’s estate. Fans may have missed the nod at first, but the gestures add a heartfelt, personal touch to the video, honoring the legends who shaped country music.
Lambert called the opportunity to wear the jewelry “an honor,” sharing close-up photos and videos to highlight the special pieces. It’s a subtle yet powerful tribute—proof that sometimes, the smallest details carry the biggest meaning.
