Miranda Lambert on Celebrating Two Decades in the Biz, Changing Labels, Turning 40 and Going Home to Send ‘Postcards From Texas’: ‘The Fire Is Lit More Than Ever’


Miranda Lambert talks about her new album, 'Postcards From Texas,' and what it reveals about her relationships, along with why she made a label change.

One of them is the groundedness in the classic sounds and attitudes of country music, which is one thing that has helped make her arguably the most valuable figure in the mainstream of the genre since the turn of the century. Variety got on the phone with Lambert the day “Postcards From Texas” came out to discuss the new album, the personal/classic balance in the songwriting, why she needed the label change, turning 40, and mentoring women who are following in her footsteps, like recent duet/writing partner Lainey Wilson. When we talked some time ago about the album you were making, you mentioned the term “honky tonk.” And there were country music media outlets that picked up on that and it got some of them happy — not that people would not associate that with you before.
