Not long home from her latest Australian tour, the incredible Sierra Ferrell, who entered the weekend's GRAMMY® Awards as the most-nominated roots and Americana artist, has emerged as the genre's biggest winner. In a clean sweep of all her categories, the first-time nominee took home Best Americana Album, Best Americana Performance ("American Dreaming"), Best American Roots Song ("American Dreaming") and Best American Roots Performance ("Lighthouse"), all celebrating her multi chart-topping LP, Trail of Flowers. With four trophies, Ferrell is also the GRAMMYs' second-most winner of 2025, behind only Kendrick Lamar's five.
Listen to the deluxe edition of Trail of Flowers, released via Rounder Records this past Friday, and watch the music video for "American Dreaming," her resilient rally cry for self-care. Along with its original twelve-song track listing, produced by Eddie Spear with additional production by Gary Paczosa, Trail of Flowers: Deluxe Edition features two new recordings: "The Garden", as well as Sierra's take on the classic bluegrass barnburner, "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down". "The Garden", which is also Sierra's new single, is an expanded arrangement of a track that first appeared on the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. The original soundtrack recording has now amplified with pedal steel, piano, percussion, strings and more.
Sierra Ferrell arrived at the GRAMMY® Awards wearing a custom dress encrusted with crystals, each holding its own unique properties of healing, loving and protection. The nautical-themed combination of pearls, iridescent fabrics and light-refracting prisms served as both a shield from darkness and a radiant reflection of Ferrell's bright inner world and whimsical, enchanting spirit. Holding a powerful scepter that encased the scroll to her acceptance speech, the full outfit captured Sierra Ferrell in her true "fae" form. The concept was dreamt up by Ferrell and her creative director, Bobbi Rich (@mamahotdog), and taken to wardrobe stylist Cathy Hahn. They then enlisted the talents of Jeffrey Kelly Abess, who went above and beyond to bring it all to life.
Days prior, Sierra Ferrell also gave a stunning GRAMMY® weekend performance of the Grateful Dead's "It Must Have Been The Roses." Singing alongside her friend Lukas Nelson, she honored the band during MusiCares' Persons of The Year gala, which raised funds for wildfire recovery in Greater Los Angeles, and MusiCares' year-round programs supporting music professionals in need.
Sierra Ferrell's first four GRAMMY® wins are the climactic, cathartic continuation of a remarkable ascent that's been filled with career-defining achievements and acclaim. They are also the start of an even more momentous year ahead, as she prepares to embark on another extensive US tour, including a stadium run with Post Malone and Jelly Roll, Stagecoach and numerous other festivals, as well as a Red Rocks show that sold-out nine months in advance and dozens of other headline dates that just went on-sale this past Friday.
