Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton got divorced in 2015, but the media frenzy around their split is still afresh in Lambert's mind.

We always try to be together, I wouldn’t want to be on opposite ends of the country on our anniversary! However, the pair weathered rumors of relationship troubles for years, which Shelton once addressed in a 2013 interview with People. Go through it.’ That’s really the kind of trust we have There are no secrets. However, the couple called it quits in 2015, just after four years of their marriage. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends, and colleagues. In a recent conversation with CBS Sunday Morning, the country music superstar admitted it was very overwhelming back then.

I was going to take the week off, but I have to review the latest Miranda Lambert release. Palomino might be her best studio album, which is shocking, because ...

But then again, she’ll give you a party song like “Music City Queen,” which, in a bizarre and hilarious turn, features the B-52s. Palomino might be her best studio album, which is shocking, because she’s issued a number of the best country albums of the last 20 years and co-written many of the best country songs of the period. “Geraldene,” Miranda’s parody of/tribute to Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” is a classic, and gets its definitive version on Palomino.

Longview native Miranda Lambert has traveled a circuitous route to superstardom, taking the road less traveled as often out of necessity as by choice.

“I’m so proud of all the work we have put in as a team over the last 20 years, and I hope I blazed some trails for artists to really trust themselves and be authentic.” I don’t think there would be any of the other ventures if the music didn’t lead the charge, so I always put that first.” I think the support of my home state fills my heart so much and I am always trying to think of something cool and different for the fans since I play there often.” Some of it is the proximity to where she came from and where she finds herself now, and some of it is a fierce Texan pride no amount of Nashvegas glam can obscure. The result, whether it’s the comparatively cozy confines of Billy Bob’s Texas or a sprawling sports arena like American Airlines Center, is always a performance carrying an extra frisson of adrenaline. “I think the ideas and stories we wrote in Marfa definitely carried over to Palomino,” Lambert writes.

“Miranda doesn’t have a lot of regrets,” the source continued. “I was at the bottom of the barrel, in the midst of hell.” “I was just six months removed from when all the garbage went down when we recorded the vocals for some of these songs,” he remarked in July 2016.

And it was just the string lights and there was crickets. And Geraldene is his German Shepherd. And I was like, “That’s a cool name.” So we were writing in Marfa [,Texas]. This was the right trip where we actually decided to put out ‘The Marfa Tapes.’ But I’m with Jack [Ingram] and him and John Randall on a picnic blanket in Marfa and I’m like, “What about Geraldene? That’s the song title. And I just was like, I got up, walked in, made a drink, a sandwich. Probably 15 minutes goes by, and I walk back out there and I bring two beers and I was like, “Everyone should calm down. Funny enough is I just had that title, because I was watching ‘Heartworn Highways.’ Like a million times I watched it, and in that movie, Townes’ dog is named Geraldene. He’s like, “This is my dog Geraldene,” and he’s showing the camera around his chicken coop or whatever. It was a KOA, and we were parked, whatever, got our camp set up, and this truck and trailer pulls in right next to us, and it was the exact same truck and exact same camper. I don’t know where it went awry, but John and Jack got in a huge fight. And then I’ll be like, “Oh, my gosh.” My husband will be like, “How was your day?” I’m like, “I had the best day.” Like, “What’d you do?” I was like, “Brush the dog for two hours.” And he was like, “That’s awesome.”… Just because you don’t stop enough, and my brain… We started with “The Tourist.” That’s what we wrote first, and then we wrote “Scenes” next. And it’s your money is in your soil and your crop. I’ve seen from the dashboard of my bus every farm from New York to Tucumcari. I’ve seen miles and miles of cornrows and potato fields, and I respect it. I was like, “We haven’t been to Nashville yet.” So we wrote “Music City Queen.” And Luke [Dick]’s like, “We need to do some northeast stuff, because we haven’t,” so we wrote “Pursuit of Happiness,” where we start in Maine and go down to New York and the Carolinas… And I’ve never written with that much purpose.

The star shares her perspective on authentic writing, and how falling in love has impacted her work, on a new installment of 'CBS Sunday Morning.'

Lambert proves her point on her newest album, Palomino, which is one of her most diverse and varied projects to date. Lambert chronicled her experience of finding love again in her 2020 hit "Settling Down," and McLoughlin even co-starred with her in the song's music video. "It's like some kind of Hallmark movie or something," Lambert says with a laugh, reflecting on her marriage. "You don't have to be tortured to be good. "He's just a very extroverted, outgoing person." If there's a camera, he'll jump right in front it," she continues.

In detailing her travels from the west to the east coast, Lambert produced a triumphantly hopeful record that has already achieved critical acclaim. Following ...

You’re creative and you’re in business as a woman.'” Lambert said of the track “Geraldene,” “I was watching Heartworn Highways. In that movie, Townes’ dog is named Geraldene. I was with Jack [Ingram] and John Randall on a picnic blanket in Marfa and I said, ‘What about Geraldene? That’s the song title. “I realized how much better [of a songwriter] I am when I get a little bit bored,” she told Bannen. “I need to just go brush my Great white Pyrenees for two hours at my farm without my phone. “And now she’s a soccer mom and loving that, too. And how do you not think about that when you take your stroller to the fair and hear these noises and smell the cotton candy. Between those two songs, the person on the journey was meeting all these people, taking a road trip out west, so we started chasing that.
