Backstory: Miranda Lambert will premiere Saturday, Jan. 19 at 8:00 p.m. ET on GAC. Miranda Lambert’s private investigator parents, husband Blake Shelton, friends and more will share stories about the multi-platinum artist and songwriter.
Four albums into her career, Lambert has netted three ACM and one CMA Album of the Year awards and is the reigning and three-time CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year. While 2011 was a highlight year in her life with her marriage to Shelton and the release of the first Pistol Annies LP, it was also filled with personal challenges.
“It was like everything you could throw at us like cannonballs,” Lambert says of the death of Shelton’s father as well as the passing of one of her closest friends. “You picture newlywed bliss and really it was him living in LA, me on the road and us in the hospital a lot of the time. It was just a lot to deal with. It seemed that when that one-year anniversary hit, we could almost go ‘Phew, okay, now we’re ready.’”
Lambert, who’s currently on tour, concludes, “I always go with my gut. It’s never steered me wrong.”
