Miranda Lambert: Last News

Miranda Lambert has a CLEAR message in her new song — and we doubt Brendan McLoughlin is going to like the sound of it!

"Twisters" has exceeded $150 million at the box office on a worldwide scale, and fans are loving the movie's soundtrack, too. The 2024 film starring Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos and Daisy Edgar-Jones is a standalone sequel to the 1996 "Twister" film starring Helen Hunt, the late Bill Paxton and Jami Gertz. While both movies bring their own originality to the story, they both center around storm-hunters on a mission to save the public from devastating and deadly tornadoes.

Much like the original Twister (1996) film’s adrenaline-fueled rock soundtrack, Twisters boasts a stacked soundtrack full of country heavy hitters like Jelly Roll, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Tanner Adell, Lainey Wilson and many more.

Miranda Lambert isn’t here for drama. The 40-year-old country singer briefly paused her concert at the Under the Big Sky music festival in Montana over the weekend to call out disruptive fans in the crowd. “I can see that your head is not turned the right way, which is this way,” Lambert said as she pointed to herself in a TikTok video from the concert.“So, if you came to visit, you can do it somewhere else,” she continued.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When people think of country superstar Miranda Lambert, one of the things that first comes to mind is pyro — not because she has that huge a penchant for setting things off on stage (though it happens), but because of lyrical connotations going back to her first platinum single, “Kerosene.” When it comes to her own career, though, things have consistently gone too well to ever need to go into burn-it-all-down mode. As she’s subtle changed approach from album to album and single to single, Lambert has been all about controlled burns.

The 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards have come to an end and all of the winners have now been revealed!

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Thursday’s nights Academy of Country Music Awards program will provide further evidence that we are entering a Post country music period. But not as in “post-country,” let’s be clear… we’re talking about a Post Malone country era.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Is Reba McEntire running a little behind Bob Hope, as an awards-show-hosting perennial… or actually a little bit ahead? It depends how you count. Because this year marks her 17th year hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards, aka the ACMs, and Hope did the Oscars 19 times, so she’s still two years from matching his record, if we compare these gigs. However, McEntire has also hosted a rival program, the CMA Awards, five times over the years.

But that’s why Metz, who was revealed as latest celebrity to be unmasked on Wednesday night’s quarter finals, figured she had to do it. “When I watched the show, and I would see either my friends or peers on the show, I’m like, how do they do it?” said Metz, who was revealed as the Poodle Moth.
