Miranda Lambert is already a country music icon and a legend in the making. The next generation of country women who are coming up have all picked up a thing or two from the country queen.
So far in Lambert’s career she has released 41 radio singles, 10 of which have reached No. 1.
Lambert’s breakout song was “Kerosene” in 2005, which reached No. 7 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart.
After breaking into country music, Lambert landed her first No. 1 song with “The House That Built Me” in 2010.
Lambert is by no means finished making country music and helping usher in the next generation. She has most recently started writing for/with other artists and seen massive success with that.
You may have heard of “Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley — Lambert co-wrote that as well as Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know.”
Lambert told me in an interview with Taste of Country Nights that she enjoys writing for other artists and getting in their head to get what they’re thinking onto paper, and eventually wax.

Artists who’ve not released an album or notched a hit song on airplay or streaming charts in the last three years need to show their influence in other ways. An example is Carrie Underwood, who’s not released a new album in four years but is the most influential voice on America’s most popular singing reality show.
