8 highlights from MirandaLambert's CRS 2020 conversation
Miranda Lambert arrives at the 53rd annual CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 13, 2019, in Nashville, Tenn. took a break from her Wildcard Tour to serve as a speaker during Country Radio Seminar 2020, a three-day conference in Nashville where thousands of country radio professionals meet each year to discuss the trends within the genre and celebrate new and veteran country artists.
The "Bluebird" singer was on hand for CRS at Music City's Omni Hotel on Wednesday for an hourlong discussion with Cindy Watts, manager of corporate communications for Nashville-based artist management company AMG. Titled, the pair chatted about the country singer’s rise to fame from singing in bars in Texas as a teenager to her move to Music City following a third-place finish on“My legacy now is what I did,” she said to a packed room of radio executives.
including the poignant “Dark Bars” and “How Dare You Love,” her husband’s favorite song and “one of three love songs I’ve ever written.”Lambert was shy as a child, admitting that she was “terrified of crowds” and “wouldn’t even order at McDonald’s by myself.” She remembers performing in public for the first time at the age of 10 at her third-grade talent show but didn’t really pursue music until she was 16.
“I got my first guitar at 14 but it wasn’t my idea, it was my dad’s idea,” she said about pursuing a music career. “I didn’t know what I was going to do with it ... I wrote my first song at 14 about a girl named Mandy Leigh. She was going to Nashville to become a singer. I played it for my little brother who was 10 at the time. He said, ‘It’s not very good, but you’re getting there.’”
By the time she was 17, Lambert performed at a local bar three times a week and got the performance bug. “It’s when I got my chops and realized it was the only thing that came natural. It’s like my personality came alive -- this was what I was supposed to do but I didn’t know it. I’m still terrified [of performing] sometimes, but I think if you’re not, that’s when you’ve gotta quit.”
