Full Throttle

Miranda Lambert and her music are Certified Platinum.

ince 2004, when Miranda Lambert released her debut album, Kerosene, her career has been on full throttle. From a very young age, Lambert knew she wanted to be a singer, songwriter, performer; the game-changer came when she learned to play the guitar, allowing her to write her own material. The icing on the cake was Lambert’s success on the nationally televised talent show Nashville Star in 2003. Now, in 2015, at 30 years old, Lambert is traveling the country on her Certified Platinum Tour, promoting her latest album, Platinum, the same album that earned her a Grammy for Best Country Album at this year’s Grammys on Feb. 8. She was also nominated for Best Country Song, Best

Country Solo Performance and Best Country Duo/Group Peformance. For a fifth consecutive year, Lambert was named Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2014 Country Music Awards, also taking home Album of the Year honors for Platinum. In February, Lambert graced the cover of Country Weekly magazine, and now she’s coming to Oklahoma to perform for excited fans. On Feb. 28, she rocked Tulsa’s BOK Center, and on March 6, she will be in Oklahoma City with Justin Moore and Sunny Sweeney. The show will start at 7:30 p.m., at Chesapeake Energy Arena, 100 West Reno Ave. Don’t let her leave the state without seeing her wild performance. This woman’s on fire, and the heat will only continue to rise. BRITTANY ANICETTI MARCH 2015 | WWW.OKMAG.COM
