Miranda Lambert Shares a Glimpse of the Aftermath of Her Divorce for the First Time

Miranda Lambert has finally shared a glimpse of what she went through when she and Blake Shelton divorced back in 2015. Since the breakup, the country singer had been avoiding questions about how she felt regarding the whole situation, Business Insider reported.

Now, it seems that the 34-year-old is healed. Or at least, she has recovered well enough to be ready to shed light on the divorce.

In an inteview with Hits Daily Double, Lambert recalled telling her manager, Marion Kraft, that she was not going to talk about Shelton and his girlfriend, Gwen Stefani. However, when she did agree to be interviewed back then, the first question that was asked was about Shelton’s new partner.

"When the music was out, people had listened, I got on the phone for the first interview. First question was, 'How do you feel about Gwen?'" Miranda Lambert recounted. "I hung up. I told Marion, I just can't do this. What was in the music was real, and I wanted people to get it from that. Take from it what they would. Then if I needed to talk, I would. But I haven't really. Until now."

“Tin Man,” one of the songs on her 2016 album "The Weight of These Wings," is apparently about Shelton. The single is quite a treat jerker as the lyrics describe what it feels like to go through a breakup. The emotion felt in this piece cuts through to the heart of the listener, which was why the single was crowned song of the year at the ACM awards 2017.

During the ceremony in April of that year, Miranda Lambert performed an acoustic version of the song, which left some audience members in tears. The crowd was deathly quiet during the performance but roared after it, giving the country singer a standing ovation for such a moving display.

Lambert said that her 2016 album helped her get through the divorce at the time, putting her pain into words and melody. She told Taste Country in 2017 that the album was her diary for the couple of years following her divorce from Shelton.

“It was going to be hell, and I’d already been through hell. It was hell putting it on paper, putting my words on paper. So I didn’t want to rehash,” Miranda Lambert said. “I’d finally gotten to a place where I wasn’t sad anymore. All the sad moments were there; all the truths were right in those songs. All you had to do was listen. I didn’t need to say anything.”
