Miranda Lambert Speaks Out: Clearing the Air on Blake Shelton Rumors
Miranda Lambert, with her characteristic candor and grace, has finally addressed the swirling rumors that continue to link her to her ex-husband, Blake Shelton. And she did so in a way that’s both disarming and telling of where she stands in her life and music today.
Lambert has notably refrained from publicly naming Shelton in relation to the whispers, especially concerning the song “Run” from her latest album Postcards from Texas. While many fans interpret its lyrics—lines like “It wasn’t that you didn’t have the answers… I was gonna run”—as a reflection of her marriage and eventual split, Lambert explained during an appearance on Today’s Country Radio that the song was written almost a decade ago. It finally felt emotionally right to record now, a decision encouraged by her inner circle and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin
She spoke of Run as something raw and painful that she once was not ready to perform. “I wasn’t ready until now,” she said, acknowledging the healing journey she’s been on over the last several years
In another public moment, during an interview on This Past Weekend With Theo Von, Lambert broke into laughter when Shelton’s wedding song, “God Gave Me You,” unexpectedly played. Instead of reacting with tension, she lightheartedly remarked, “My first wedding song, guys!” Her relaxed response showed that she’s long since moved on from any lingering resentment
Perhaps most striking was her heartfelt recounting of co-writing “Over You” with Shelton—a song about his late brother that went on to win multiple awards. Lambert spoke of that collaboration as healing, not only for Blake’s family but also as a moment of connection despite their eventual separation
All told, Lambert’s message today is clear: she’s at peace with her past, embracing where she’s been while continuing to create and share from a place of honesty. No drama, no denials—just truth and forward motion.
