Miranda Lambert’s Successful Marriage Secret
Miranda Lambert firmly believes in the importance of communication
“It’s communication. We just talk it out, whatever it is, we talk about everything. And I think communication is super important, especially because women, we expect men to know what we’re thinking and they don’t. We got to tell them.”
Lambert tells PEOPLE.
On May 15, the 40-year-old country singer revealed exclusively to PEOPLE at the Lone River Collective event the one essential rule she and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, follow in their marriage.

Their whirlwind romance began on the set of Good Morning America, where Lambert was performing and McLoughlin was working as part of the security team.
She previously shared in an interview.
“My girlfriends, the Annies, saw [Brendan] and knew I might be ready to hang out with someone. They invited him to our show behind my back,”
Just three months after their initial meeting, the couple tied the knot, demonstrating their strong connection and commitment to open dialogue from the start.
Lambert makes their marriage public with a Valentine’s Day social media post.
The couple makes their official red carpet debut at the Academy of Country Music Awards Yahoo Entertainment: Lambert opens up about becoming a stepmom to Brendan’s son.
How Miranda gushes about her husband in a recent interview reveals how much she loves him:
Initially, the couple spent several months in New York, but they have since moved to Nashville and also own a home in Austin, Texas.
“I have a house in Austin, so I’m there a lot,” she explained in her interview with People.
“That’s where we’re headed in a couple of weeks to do some work stuff and see family. But my animals are all in Tennessee outside of Nashville and so that’s where I sort of go recharge my batteries.”

Miranda Lambert Ignites the ACM Stage with “Wranglers”
Fresh from her electrifying performance at the Stagecoach Festival with country icon Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert turned up the heat at the ACM Awards on Thursday night.
The crowd erupted as she delivered a scorching rendition of her latest single, “Wranglers,” marking her first new release in two years.
This isn’t your grandma’s country tune. “Wranglers” is a slow-burning powerhouse, an anthem for anyone looking to reclaim their strength and, perhaps, seek a bit of payback against those who’ve wronged them.
With the unwavering support of her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, Lambert continues to shine brightly in her career, proving that her star power is as fierce as ever.
Partnership with Lone River Beverage
Through her partnership with Lone River Beverage Co., she’s putting two of her mentees, Ashley Cooke and Kameron Marlowe, center stage at Lone River’s ACM kickoff event, Lone River Collective held on May 15th.
This event wasn’t just about music; it showcased the best of country and Texas culture, featuring Miranda Lambert and Lone River’s founder and CEO Katie Beal Brown, along with the launch of Blackberry Ranch Water – a nod to Lambert’s hometown of Lindale, formerly the Blackberry Capital of the World.
Lambert, who dropped her new single “Wranglers” earlier this month, also revealed to PEOPLE at the Lone River Collective event that she finds her “downtime” in spending time with her animals.
“Animals are great,” she says. “That’s my downtime. I have a house in Austin, so I’m there a lot. That’s where we’re headed for a couple of weeks to do some work stuff and see family.”
She adds, ”But my animals are all in Tennessee outside of Nashville and so that’s where I sort of go recharge my batteries. But everybody’s good. Yeah, there’s no downtime. We’re working right now, but it’s good. It’s a good thing.”
Adding to her busy schedule, Miranda Lambert is set to combine two of her passions—music and dogs—by hosting an upcoming benefit concert on October 5 in Nashville. The event aims to raise funds for animal welfare.
The five-time ACM Awards Album of the Year winner will welcome many of her animal-loving friends and fellow musicians to perform with her at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater.
The concert, presented by Tractor Supply Company, will have its net proceeds benefiting Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation.
The full lineup of participating artists will be announced at a later date.
