Miranda Lambert is showing the world that she’s far from hung up on her past with Blake Shelton. The country superstar had fans laughing. An unexpected moment on the This Past Weekend podcast brought back a blast from her past.
While chatting with host Theo Von about her career, the conversation took a turn when Shelton’s hit “God Gave Me You” started playing. The song was Lambert and Shelton’s wedding song. It made the Grammy-winning artist laugh uncontrollably.
“Perfect, that’s just perfect,” Lambert quipped, brushing off Von’s apologies. With a mix of humor and grace, she added, “My first wedding song, guys! Let’s play that! I love it!” The laughter kept rolling as she joked about the unintentional cue, making it clear she wasn’t fazed by the reminder of her former marriage.

Fans Are Loving Miranda’s Unbothered Attitude
Fans loved Miranda Lambert’s funny reaction. They praised her for handling the awkward moment. Many praised her carefree approach on social media. One Instagram user said, “That’s the most fun I’ve ever seen her have!”” Another fan added, “She’s not mad at all—she’s got it good at home now. Forget Blake!”
The random moment highlighted how far Lambert has come since her divorce from Shelton in 2015. Now happily married to Brendan McLoughlin since 2019, Lambert seems to have fully moved on, and fans couldn’t be more supportive.
Judging by her laughter and relaxed demeanor, it’s clear that Lambert is in a good place. Despite rumors of bad blood with Shelton, Lambert’s response to the song choice suggests she’s moved on.
Lambert Reflects on Her Challenging Road to Success
Though Miranda Lambert is enjoying success now, her journey to the top wasn’t always easy. In a recent interview with Texas Monthly, the country queen discussed her struggles to break into the male-dominated Texas country scene.
“It’s not been a pretty road for me,” Lambert shared. “There’s been some highs, and then there’s been some knock-down, drag-out battles that I didn’t win. Certainly, for male artists, it’s just a different path.”
She also reflected on her early days performing in dive bars and rodeos, where booking agents hesitated to hire her simply because she was a woman. “Well, we don’t hire girls. Girls don’t draw,” she recalled agents telling her parents, even as her father paid to get her onstage.
Lambert’s perseverance paid off, and she’s now celebrated as one of the most influential women in country music. Most recently, she won the Country Icon Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards. This cemented her legacy in the industry.
