The country music sensation Miranda Leigh Lambert was born November 10, 1983 in Longview, Texas, to parents Rick and Beverly. Her dad taught her how to play guitar when she was 16 and she now has five albums to her credit, including Kerosene, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Four the Record, Platinum, and The Weight of These Wings. She married country singer and The Voice judge Blake Shelton in 2011, and made headlines when the couple announced their split in July, 2015. She is still pursuing a career as a solo artist and also performs in a girl group called Pistol Annies, with Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley. As the reigning Queen of country music, a lot is known about the blonde phenomenon, but here are some other less known facts:
14. Needs a Drink
When Shelton and Lambert divorced it was suggested his constant drinking and partying was an issue with her, but as it turns out she doesn’t mind taking a swig from the bottle herself. During her performance in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota at the WE Fest on August 7, 2015, the singer told the crowd, “I wish I’ve been drinking all day, I deserve it…I just got divorced.” Fans tweeted that they’d be up for grabbing a drink with her. The 34-year-old country star also started crying while singing ‘Over You.’
