Miranda Lambert set the stage on fire at the 2024 ACM Awards with her performance of "Wranglers," a fiery track that many believe takes aim at her ex-husband Blake Shelton. Lambert’s bold performance was a clear message to Shelton, who watched from the audience with his current wife, Gwen Stefani. The tension was palpable as Lambert belted out lyrics that seemed to revisit old wounds from her tumultuous marriage to Shelton.
The strain between Lambert and Shelton began long before their public split. The couple’s relationship was significantly impacted by Shelton’s commitment to "The Voice." Shelton's demanding schedule often kept him in Los Angeles, while Lambert preferred their home in Oklahoma. This geographic separation, combined with the pressures of their respective careers, created a rift that eventually led to their divorce in 2015.
Lambert has been candid about her dislike for Los Angeles, referring to herself as a "country girl" who struggled with the city's lifestyle and the constant media attention it brought.
