Miranda Lambert has never been one to shy away from expressing her emotions through music. The country star, now happily married to former NYPD officer Brendan McLoughlin, has found a clever way to bring her past—including her marriage to Blake Shelton—back into the spotlight. While their divorce has been behind them for nearly a decade, Lambert’s new album is a clever yet subtle walk down memory lane that leaves fans wondering: Is she really over her ex?
Though Miranda Lambert is no longer Mrs. Blake Shelton, her latest single carries the echoes of their past. Don’t expect a song drenched in bitterness, though. The lyrics are anything but vengeful. Instead, they reflect a woman who has grown from the experience and has the maturity to own up to her part in the relationship's unraveling.
In the chorus, Lambert sings, “Oh, this freedom I found, babe, sure wasn’t free / I owe you a lifetime of apologies.” These are not the words of a jilted ex-spouse seeking revenge. In fact, the message is clear: Lambert acknowledges her own shortcomings in the breakdown of her marriage. It’s a raw, introspective look into how she has evolved since the split.
While fans may have expected a song filled with sharp digs at Blake, they were met with a much more honest portrayal of growth.
