The cool thing about Miranda Lambert is you know exactly what you’re getting and that’s not by accident. She told “American Songwriter“ that she set a course from the very beginning, with a little advice from her mom.
Miranda said, “when I first started talking about doing this for a living at 16, my mom was like, ‘You have to know who you are, and you have to stick with it and not sway’ and I’ve really trusted my gut my whole career.”
Miranda had to work really hard to get where she is now, and that’s why she wants to pay it forward, and be an example.
She said, “I want to make sure I kick the doors open for other girls, especially because my career wasn’t conventional. It wasn’t down the middle. I’ve had to find my own way and I hope that I opened the door for some other kickass girls. When a couple of us win, we all win. That’s how I look at it. It’s not a competition. To me, it’s a sisterhood. It’s sometimes a hard road, but the reward is such a payoff.”
