April 11, 2025 – Today, Grant Gilbert releases his new single “Bad Reputation” featuring tourmate and fellow Texan Hudson Westbrook via River House Artists. After spending much of the year on the road together, the two rising country artists have teamed up for a defiant kiss-off track where they trade verses about a bad-mouthing ex over exhilarating electric guitar and gushing pedal steel.

“Hudson and I wrote ‘Bad Reputation’ and started playing it on the road these past few months,” shares Gilbert. “It’s been awesome to play it live and see people love it. Excited for it to be out!”


Westbrook adds: “I’m super excited to put this high-energy song out into the world with one of my friends from Texas and let people feel that same rush we felt in the studio. It’s a testament to letting go of what people say about you and living your truth, loud and unapologetically.”
