Miranda Lambert, country music's reigning queen, is known for her powerful vocals, her Texan twang, and her penchant for sending out physical postcards to tease new album projects. But a recent podcast appearance revealed a surprising twist in Lambert's love story: an old-fashioned courtship built on pen pals and honest conversations.
A "Hot Cop" and a "No Plus One" Encounter:
The Start of a Unique Romance
Lambert and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, met on the set of "Good Morning America." She and her band, the Pistol Annies, were promoting their album "Interstate Gospel," and McLoughlin, a New York City police officer, was working security.
Lambert's bandmate, Angaleena Presley, spotted McLoughlin first, pointing him out as a "hot cop." But Lambert was initially hesitant.
