Miranda Lambert - Personal Life

Personal Life

In 2006, Lambert began dating fellow country singer Blake Shelton. Lambert sang background vocals on Shelton's 2008 country cover of Michael Bublé's song "Home". The two recorded and co-wrote duet "Bare Skin Rug," for his studio album Startin' Fires released later in 2008. Shelton also co-wrote three songs on Revolution, and provided background vocals on "Maintain the Pain." On May 9, 2010, Shelton proposed to Lambert after receiving her father's blessing and they became engaged. The two married on May 14, 2011 at the Don Strange Ranch in Boerne, Texas. Wearing her mother's wedding dress, Lambert walked down the aisle and exchanged vows with Shelton in front of 550 family members and friends, including fellow celebrities Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson, Cee Lo Green, Martina McBride, Dierks Bentley, Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins and the Bellamy Brothers. After the ceremony, Lambert expressed her excitement: "I'm married to my best friend! Looking forward to a lifetime of laughter." Lambert and Shelton live in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Miranda Lambert once stated that she loves watching the show “Snapped” on Oxygen, the show that tells the stories of female killers. “’It's so weird,’ she murmurs. ‘I watched one about this woman whose husband had been beating the crap out of her for years. Finally, one day she shot him in the bedroom and shut the door--and left him there for two years. The road it happened on was County Road 233.’ She waits a beat. ‘That was where the guy gets shot in my song 'Gunpowder and Lead.'" Does she feel responsible? She laughs. ‘You know, women have come up to me and said, 'You gave me the courage to leave after 10 years of him hitting me.' That's the best compliment I could get.’ She stops, suddenly aware of her words. ‘But don't shoot him,’ she adds, grinning. ‘Or don't blame it on me if you do.’"
