Do not cry for Miranda Lambert, folks.
In response to the confirmation that her ex-husband, Blake Shelton, is dating Gwen Stefani, Lambert accepted the Country Music Award foe Best Female Vocalist on Wednesday night, admitting on stage that the timing was perfect.
“I needed a bright spot this year, so thank you,” Lambert confessed to millions of viewers.
A day later, after Shelton Tweeted that his life is rather awesome and things couldn’t be going better, Miranda took to her own social media account to give fans an update.
“‘Horse Power’….. I’m still floating around on a cloud from last night. Thank you so much @cma for celebrating country music in a big way and for letting me be part of it,” Lambert wrote as a caption to the above image.”
She continued:
“Today was a day spent reflecting on this amazing life that Nashville and country music fans have given me. And my friends.
“I’m so grateful #inspired #gypsyvanner #nomakeuptillnextweek #musicismedicine #chrisstapleton #unicorn #ponyportrait.”
Lambert has remained open and honest with fans ever since splitting from Shelton this summer.
It remains unclear what really happened between the artist to cause their divorce (did someone cheat? Was it really just a matter of busy schedules?), but Lambert hasn’t tried to pretend that it’s been easy.
Back in September, she lay on pavement in New York City, right alongside a message that told people to protect their heart.
She’s the best. We hope she one day finds the true love she so richly deserves.
