Miranda Lambert Opens Up About Songwriting, Healing & Heartache on ‘Ross Golan’ Podcast: ‘It Was Raw Emotion’
Miranda Lambert has described how songwriting helped her process her 2015 divorce from Blake Shelton, a highly public split that unfolded while both were touring and working in the public eye. On a podcast, she said the experience shaped her 2016 double album, *The Weight of These Wings*, and helped her grow as a vocalist and songwriter.
After returning to Nashville, Lambert said she wrote about 75 songs in roughly four months, drawing on her life and collaborating with songwriter friends. She described the work as “raw emotion” rather than writing towards a particular sound; songs including “Tin Man” and “Vice” made the period feel worthwhile. Since then, she has released further hits, co-written Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas”, married Brendan McLoughlin in 2019 and released her latest album, *Crisco*.
