NASHVILLE, TN — Multi-platinum country music icon LeAnn Rimes is dominating the headlines this Tuesday, February 24, 2026, with the official release of her highly anticipated new single, “Wild Things Run.” The track, which hit streaming platforms at midnight ET, marks a fresh chapter for the two-time Grammy Award winner as she continues to evolve her sound and public image.
New Music and Viral Moments
To celebrate the release of “Wild Things Run,” Rimes took to social media to share a series of high-fashion looks, including a black cut-out corset-style dress and a sheer lace ensemble that have quickly gone viral. Fans have praised the 43-year-old singer for her “stunning” appearance and the raw energy of the new track.
The release comes just days after Rimes “broke the internet” by recreating her iconic Coyote Ugly bar-top dance. Joined by the cast of 9-1-1: Nashville, Rimes paid homage to the 2000 film by dancing on a bar in Nashville, proving that 26 years after the movie’s debut, she still possesses the star power that made her a household name at age 13.
Overcoming Onstage Mishaps
In a display of the professional resilience that has defined her decades-long career, Rimes recently shared a humorous but harrowing story with her followers. During a recent concert, the singer experienced a dental malfunction where her teeth reportedly fell out mid-song. Rather than stopping the show, Rimes laughed off the incident in a recent Instagram video, detailing how she overcame the “dental disaster” to finish the performance for her fans.
A Legacy of Success
Since her record-breaking debut with “Blue” in 1996, LeAnn Rimes has remained one of the most successful artists in American music history. Her career highlights include:
- Global Sales: Over 48 million units sold worldwide.
- Awards: Two Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, and three Academy of Country Music Awards.
- Crossover Success: Her 1997 hit “How Do I Live” remains one of the most successful crossover singles in history, spending a record-breaking 69 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Television: Recently made history as the first artist to coach on multiple international versions of The Voice franchise.
What’s Next for Rimes?
With the release of “Wild Things Run,” rumors are swirling regarding a potential new studio album, which would be her 22nd overall. Additionally, her recent collaboration with the 9-1-1: Nashville cast has sparked speculation about a recurring guest role or musical contribution to the hit series, which is slated to air a pivotal new episode, “Don Begins,” later this week.
As of February 24, 2026, “Wild Things Run” is available on all major streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music.
