Miranda Lambert, the fiery songstress known for her take-no-prisoners anthems and raw honesty, has a surprising confession: she's still afraid. But not of the things you might expect. In a candid interview, the country music superstar opens up about her latest album, her new record label, and the vulnerability that still scares her, even after 20 years in the spotlight.
"It's scary putting [out] all your feelings," Lambert admits, her voice softening as she discusses her latest album, "Postcards From Texas." While she's known for pouring her heart into her music, solo songwriting takes on a whole new level of vulnerability.
"You can't hide behind a co-writer," she explains. "It's like, here it is. Here's my diary entry.

One such song, "Run," lays bare the complexities of love and the difficult choices we make in its name.
"Oh this freedom I found, babe, sure wasn’t free / I owe you a lifetime of apologies," she sings, her voice raw with emotion.
While Lambert remains tight-lipped about the inspiration behind the song, the raw honesty shining through each lyric speaks volumes. It's this willingness to embrace vulnerability, to expose the deepest parts of herself through her music, that makes Lambert such a captivating artist.
After two decades with Sony Music Nashville, Lambert made the bold decision to sign with a new label, Republic Records, for "Postcards From Texas." It's a move that speaks to her evolution as an artist and her unwavering commitment to artistic freedom.
"I'm just excited to have a team that's so excited about music and leads with art," she says, a hint of defiance in her voice.
But even with her impressive track record and undeniable talent, Lambert admits to feeling a sense of needing to prove herself.
"Well, yeah, a little bit [of a chip on my shoulder]," she confesses. “I mean, who doesn't?”
It's this drive, this refusal to rest on her laurels, that has propelled Lambert to the top of the country music world. And with this new chapter, she's showing no signs of slowing down.
