I had forgotten they were on tonight (and so close to us in Dallas!) and I had started watching just in time for Miranda Lambert\u2019s performance. Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara were awarding her an achievement award for being the single most winning female country artist at the ACM\u2019s ever. I have always been a fan of Lambert, and I\u2019m honestly not totally sure why. I don\u2019t love her music overwhelmingly more than others or anything. I really think it might be her charisma. She has that whole, blonde and bad-ass thing going on for her which I guess appeals to my musical taste, (Ha!). Seeing her perform two of her recent hits made me think back on my favorite Miranda Lambert moments, and I compiled a list of my favorites!<\/p>\n<p>5.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Miranda Lambert - Kerosene (Official HD Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rB7ONnfIjaI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This was my introduction to Miranda Lambert. While some may call the song clich\u00e9, I think Lambert definitely makes an impression. I also couldn\u2019t get this song out of my head for what seemed like months back in 2009. (Not to mention, this music video is probably where I got all of my blonde, rebellious vibes from her.)<\/p>\n<p>4.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Miranda Lambert - Somethin&#039; Bad (duet with Carrie Underwood) ft. Carrie Underwood\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o4Yzj-m_SBk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This music video and song couldn\u2019t be more fun and that\u2019s why I love it. I am also a fan of Carrie Underwood and so the combination of Lambert with Underwood is perfect to me and they make this video such a fun time!<\/p>\n<p>3.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Miranda Lambert - Over You\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Y2icHOgC5U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I love this song because I think the lyrics are truly beautiful. Lambert wrote this song with her husband Blake Shelton about losing a family member and I think it really resonates with people who have experienced that type of loss.<\/p>\n<p>2.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Miranda Lambert - White Liar (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QoR2Oax82kY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This song, just like Kerosene, is classic Miranda Lambert to me: vengeful, sassy, and powerful. The lyrics are clever and her amazing vocals are clearly demonstrated. This is one of my favorite moments of her career because the song just feels like it was made for her.<\/p>\n<p>1.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Miranda Lambert - The House That Built Me\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DQYNM6SjD_o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I think I love this song the most from Miranda because while all of her other songs certainly make me admire her as an artist and a female performer, this song is the song I most identify with. It describes childhood roots and memories in a childhood home and as a college student I certainly think fondly of my house back home and my whole childhood spent in it. I think Miranda is such a dominant female country singer because she is able to master the emotional songs as well as the more up-tempo fun songs. I certainly am a fan for both of those reasons!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight, as I was flipping through the channels I came across the ACM Awards.
