Warner Music Nashville’s Gabby Barrett proved why she's "country's new queen of comeuppance" (PEOPLE) on ELLEN yesterday with a charged-up performance of her "fierce revenge rocker" (The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) and the most-streamed Country song of 2020, "I Hope." 

Rocking a structured, black sequin Jovani jacket and backed by a live band — including husband Cade Foehner on electric guitar — Barrett belted out the smooth-burning revenge anthem with ease, bringing a "phenomenal range to her craft" (Billboard). 

Barrett also performed a digital exclusive version of current sophomore single "The Good Ones" for EllenTube — watch it here. The “heartfelt new single” (Forbes) continues its rise at Country radio inside the Top 30 with over 80 MILLION on-demand streams-and-counting.

Continuing to break glass ceilings, "I Hope" charges ahead of the pack, storming into the Billboard Hot 100 chart's Top 3 this week while maintaining the #1 spot at Hot AC radio, Top 5 at Top 40 radio, and sitting atop the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for 16 weeks. Variety puts it simply — "I Hope" is "the biggest country song of the year, but, like (Barrett's) voice it's just huge for any genre."
