Miranda Lambert: Things you didn't know
Miranda Lambert has come a long way from tiny Lindale, Texas. And despite living her life like an open book through her music, there are still a few things you probably don't know about the superstar.
Miranda Lambert recently dropped her newest single, "Bluebird" — and now the Grammy award-winning superstar is getting candid about the inspiration behind the track.
The song, which will be featured on her upcoming album "Wildcard" due out in November, has one "definite Miranda line" according to Lambert. In the tune, the 35-year-old sings: "And if love keeps giving me lemons; I just mix 'em in my drink."
“That was a definite Miranda line because that’s what I do,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “You can’t stay in the moment that’s not good for you."

Lambert added with a laugh: "If you keep missing, you have to just keep trying and you know, also, 'Cheetos help, so we’re good.'"
"Bluebird" – like the previously released "Mess With My Head" – was co-written with Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby. According to the news outlet, part of the inspiration for the tune was Dick's admiration for a Charles Bukowski poem that references keeping a bluebird in your heart.
“We kind of went off of that," Lambert explained. "And this song, something about it makes me feel hopeful. It’s not too cheery. It’s got this undertow of like “S—‘s gonna happen, but it’s gonna be OK.”
The song is also a reflection of Lambert's feelings, but with an artistic twist, per Entertainment Weekly.
MIRANDA LAMBERT SAYS CAREER 'HAS BEEN A CRAZY RIDE,' HINTS AT NEW RECORD HAVING 'HIDDEN MESSAGES'
“I think that I do that kind of subconsciously,” Lambert said. “Because really it’s my truth, I’m just saying it in a different way. Everything I’ve ever lived through is in my music. Thirty-four had some bumps. Every year has some bumps."
She continued: "The way that I say it is how I feel about it, and how I actually treat it. I don’t live in the moment that’s not good [for me]. Somehow, I just move forward.”
Her other recently released song, "It All Comes Out in the Wash," has a similar vibe.
“There’s a common theme in this record and it’s like ‘When something gets bad, you can get out of it and move forward and be better,'" Lambert explained. "Feeling it in the moment is okay too, just taking it in and saying ‘I’m gonna learn from this, next.’ I’ve done that. At 35 so far, I’ve lived a lot of life and I’ve written it all down.”
"It All Comes Out in the Wash" quickly soared to the No. 1 spot as the most added single on country radio for the week when Lambert released it, back in July.
The accolade was a huge milestone for Lambert as she achieved the best opening week in her career since starting out in the industry in the early 2000s.
