But this isn't another one of Miranda Lambert's heart-wrenching ballads; it's real life hitting a somber note as the country star mourns a profound loss that cuts far deeper than any chart position or award nomination.
Taking to social media, the usually fiery and outspoken singer shared a message that resonated with the raw vulnerability of her most heartfelt lyrics, revealing the passing of a beloved member of her musical family.
