Introduction
Miranda Lambert discusses the final leg of her Las Vegas residency, Velvet Rodeo, highlighting its intimacy and stability compared to touring. She enjoys staying in a house with her husband and dogs during the residency but admits it’s bittersweet as the run ends. Though she avoids going out too much to protect her voice, she occasionally enjoys Vegas with visiting friends or her husband, who loves gambling.
Miranda also talks about launching her new label, Big Loud Texas, with John Randall, aiming to support and mentor new country artists like Dylan Gossett. She’s passionate about nurturing authentic, outlaw-style country music and is actively scouting talent on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, though she admits she’s not very tech-savvy.
She shares fun personal facts — she collects salt and pepper shakers (inspired by Loretta Lynn), doesn’t gamble, and once went through musical phases including blues, bluegrass, and even 1940s music. She prefers relaxing at home with her dogs over the typical Vegas party scene.
Miranda also reflects on her music inspirations (like Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, and The Chicks), her Broadway bar Casa Rosa, and her all-female management team. Despite her expanding roles as an entrepreneur and mentor, she stays rooted in music.
The interview ends with talk about her Vegas shows’ setlist consistency, her signed boots being auctioned for charity, and a lighthearted joke about not pulling random fans on stage due to unpredictable Vegas crowds.
