DOLLY PARTON, GEORGE STRAIT, CARRIE UNDERWOOD, REBA MCENTIRE & BLAKE SHELTON ANNOUNCE 2026 TOUR “ONE LAST RIDE” — A CELEBRATION OF COUNTRY LEGENDS AND THEIR TIMELESS LEGACY
In what promises to be one of the most unforgettable musical events in history, five of country music’s most beloved icons — Dolly Parton, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, and Blake Shelton — have come together to announce a once-in-a-lifetime tour titled “One Last Ride.” Scheduled to launch in the spring of 2026, the tour is being hailed as both a soul-stirring revival of country tradition and a heartfelt farewell to an era that has defined generations.
The announcement was made at a special press conference in Nashville, where all five artists appeared side by side, their camaraderie radiating through every smile and every word. Dolly Parton, always the queen of heartfelt charm, described the tour as “a love letter to the fans who have walked with us through every verse, every chorus, and every memory.” George Strait, often called the “King of Country,” added that it was about celebrating not just their individual journeys, but the shared spirit of a genre that has weathered time with grace.
Carrie Underwood, representing a newer generation of stars who carry the torch of traditional country into the future, expressed her gratitude at being able to share the stage with artists she grew up idolizing. Reba McEntire, never short on warmth and wit, called the tour “a family reunion with a few thousand of our closest friends.” Blake Shelton, with his signature humor, promised fans “a show that will make you laugh, cry, dance, and maybe even drink a little too much.”
The “One Last Ride” tour will span more than 40 cities across North America, with select international dates rumored to be in the works. Each performance will feature not only solo sets but also rare collaborations, medleys of their greatest hits, and emotional tributes to country legends of the past.
For fans, this isn’t just a tour — it’s a living tapestry of country music’s heart and soul. A chance to witness Dolly’s storytelling, George’s timeless voice, Carrie’s powerhouse performances, Reba’s fire, and Blake’s charm — all under one roof. Tickets are expected to sell out within minutes when they go on sale later this year.
The message is clear: country music isn’t just alive — it’s thriving, and “One Last Ride” is the ultimate celebration of its enduring spirit.
