Miranda Lambert rose to the top of the music charts with women-empowering hits. Wide Open Country ranked Lambert's track "Gunpowder and Lead" as one of the best country music revenge songs, detailing an abused woman ready to confront her fresh-out-of-jail husband. Many of Lambert's songs are about women seeking justice for their mistreatment. Her songs are heavily influenced by her childhood. Growing up, both of Lambert's parents were private investigators. Often their family took in abused women. "I saw my friends' moms coming in at 2 A.M. with black eyes...." Lambert told Fame10 (via Country Living). "I witnessed it firsthand."
Lambert's music is infused from her past and present experiences, making her songs vulnerable and personal. Earlier this year, the singer made headlines for her emotional first post-quarantine concert. The singer cried while singing her song, "The House That Built Me." Following the show, in an interview with CMT, she expresses how her emotional outpour was expected.
"I expect to cry when playing 'The House That Built Me,' like I always know there's a possibility," she says. "Especially if I am playing in Texas. Especially if I know my family is there."
