Nine years after their explosive breakup, country queen Miranda Lambert is still mining her past relationship with Blake Shelton for musical gold. But is she really “stuck” on her ex, or is she simply a master of turning heartache into chart-topping hits?
The country music world is buzzing with whispers about Miranda Lambert's latest album, "Postcards from Texas.
" This isn't your typical breakup album, though. It's more like a nuanced exploration of a relationship that continues to haunt Lambert, even years after the dust settled.
"I signed up to tell the truth," Lambert revealed in a recent interview. "And I just feel like it's important to – good, bad and ugly – tell your story." And tell her story she does, with songs like "Run" that seem to directly address her former flame.
"Run" is a heart-wrenching ballad that paints a picture of regret and longing:
"Oh this freedom I found, babe, sure wasn't free / I owe you a lifetime of apologies / I'm tellin' the truth now I loved you so much / I'm sorry for lyin' about who I was."
The lyrics are raw and honest, leaving little doubt about the song's inspiration. But is it just a catchy tune, or a window into Lambert's lingering feelings for Shelton?
While she's now married to former police officer Brendan McLoughlin, it seems that the ghost of Shelton continues to linger in the background.
