Miranda Lambert is known for pouring her heart out in her music, and her latest release is no exception. But this time, it’s not just heartache she’s serving up – it’s a heaping helping of shade aimed directly at ex-husband Blake Shelton.
The song in question, “I Got My Name Changed Back,” is a sassy, empowering anthem celebrating post-divorce freedom.

"Well, I’ve got me an ex that I adored / But he got along good with a couple road whores / Got my name changed back," Lambert sings, her voice dripping with a mix of sass and satisfaction.
Adding insult to injury, the accompanying music video features the trio indulging in a glamorous "divorce party," complete with champagne, confetti, and a sassy strut down the courthouse steps.
