Popular American singer-songwriter and musician Miranda Lambert recently opened up about her divorce from Blake Shelton after nearly a decade together. The duo divorced in 2015, and more than a decade later, she reflected on it, calling it “not a fun time.” Though the period was very depressing, Miranda made it fruitful by focusing on her career.
Miranda Lambert spoke about her divorce from Blake Shelton
Miranda recently appeared on Ross Golan’s podcast And The Writer Is, where she discussed one of the most difficult phases of her life after her 2015 divorce from Blake Shelton. After the divorce, she left small-town life behind and poured her emotions into her sixth studio album, The Weight of These Wings.
Recalling the time, Lambert said the divorce was difficult, especially as a public figure. During that time, she focused on writing songs for the album, and Lambert explained that it felt completely different from working on her previous albums. Speaking about her difficult time, she said:
“I got divorced, and that sucks for anyone, especially in the public eye, especially on tour, especially in the middle of a very public career — two of us — you know what I mean? It was a really not-fun time. I dove headfirst into songwriting. I had missed it.”
Going further in the conversation, Lambert stated how she gathered all her friends and rekindled the relationships she left behind after moving in with her husband. She not only used her misery to renew her friendships but also wrote 75 songs in just a year. Elaborating on the same, she shared:
“I used the staying out too late at honky-tonks. I used what I was living, and my friends went on that journey with me — friends being songwriters — and I think I wrote 75 songs in like, a year. I mean, in like, the first four months I moved back. It was kind of magical because I really started growing my songwriting then.”
What led to Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton’s divorce?
Miranda Lambert met Blake Shelton at a CMT duet concert in 2005 and felt an instant connection, even though he was already married. Despite being in love, Miranda and Blake didn’t start a relationship until 2006, after Blake filed for a divorce from his wife, Kaynette Williams. After Blake’s divorce, he and Miranda began dating and made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 2007 CMT Music Awards.
In 2011, the duo got married and collaborated on musical projects like Over You. A few years after their marriage, reports suggested the couple was facing compatibility issues. But soon, Blake dismissed the rumors as baseless and stated in many interviews that he had nothing to hide from his wife. However, in 2015, the duo announced their divorce.
In a joint statement, Blake and Miranda said they were divorcing after four years of marriage and that their split was already finalized. A source close to the couple told E! News that Blake and Miranda’s busy schedules were one of the biggest reasons for their divorce. The long-distance marriage reportedly led to many trust issues.
