Miranda Lambert: How Honky Tonks, a Pep Talk from Mom, and "Losing" Forged a Country Music Superstar

The Great Creators with Guy Raz

17-09-2024 • 58 mins

Three-time Grammy winner Miranda Lambert is a proud Texan who got her start performing during set changes at local bars starting at age 17. It was a “Honky Tonk U” education that would serve her well – igniting a career that would see Miranda become country music’s most award-winning artist of all time…all before the age of 40.

In this episode, Miranda talks with Guy Raz about how losing early singing competitions actually helped her “win” in the music industry; the valuable lessons she learned from Keith Urban while the two toured together, and why she decided to return to her Texas roots to record her brand new album “Postcards from Texas".
