Miranda Lambert is ready for her Palomino album release tomorrow (4/29), and tonight, she plays a special show in Nashville to show off some of the new songs, including one called "Tourist."

Miranda posted a video clip of the new song showing her vacationing with her husband in various places. She wrote on Instagram, "'Tourist' was the first song we wrote for Palomino, and it set the tone for the record. I've toured, but I haven't really gotten to be a tourist. This is the song on the record I want to live out the most."

She added, "Can't wait for y'all to go on this journey through Palomino when the album releases Friday."
