Miranda Lambert at Choctaw Grand Theater

Country music singer and songwriter Miranda Lambert began her career in 2001 when she self-released her eponymous album. Two years later she finished in third place on the televized singing competition Nashville Star, which led to her getting a record deal with Epic Nashville Records. She released her major-label debut, Kerosene, in 2005, which topped the Billboard Country Albums chart, reached number 18 on the Billboard 200, launched four top 40 Billboard Country Chart singles, and has been certified platinum by the RIAA. Lambert’s next six studio albums all hit number one on the Country Albums chart and reached the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, including 2014’s Platinum, which topped the chart. To date, she has won three Grammy Awards, twenty-nine Academy of Country Music Awards, six American Country Awards, seven CMT Music Awards, and fourteen Country Music Association Awards, among others. Her latest release is the 2021 collaborative album with fellow country artists Jack Ingram and Jon Randall, The Marfa Tapes.
