Miranda Lambert has been living her best life throughout the summer of 2023 and she’s reliving some of the memories she’s made with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, and their dogs by sharing sweet family snapshots.  

The country superstar took to social media on Thursday (Aug. 3) to share a series of images that showcase “Summer so far ☀️👙🍹🌊😎.” 

Summer Memories

Included in the set of photos are selfies with McLoughlin, photos of the pups lounging at a campsite and at home, and a video of McLoughlin wake surfing on a lake.     

The images give fans a glimpse into her time off the road and showcase what life is like beyond the spotlight.

In addition to enjoying some time off during the summer months, Lambert has also performed at several festivals, including CMA Fest where she performed alongside an all-star lineup of surprise guests: Elle King, Avril Lavigne and Leon Bridges.

She also recently wrapped up her latest run of shows in Las Vegas, where she is celebrating nearly two decades as a country music superstar with a career-spanning set list at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood, formerly known as Zappos Theater.

Lambert’s show is a 90-minute celebration of her artistry that features tunes from her entire discography from her debut album, Kerosene, to her current project, Palomino. She will return to Sin City later this year.

The “If I Was A Cowboy” singer’s residency kicked off on September 23, 2022, and is currently set to run through December of this year.

New Music

The 14-time CMA Award winner also recently released “If You Were Mine,” a duet with fellow Texas native Leon Bridges.

Released via Lambert’s own Vanner Records with distribution by IMPERIAL, the song combines Lambert’s signature country vocals with Bridges’ beloved R&B style, making for a must-hear genre-bending collaboration. Co-written by Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Jesse Frasure, the song’s tender lyrics play out like a promise to a lover as Lambert and Bridges croon over the possibility of what could be.

“I’d make sure your stars are shining/ Sure as the Frio’s winding/ I’d bottle you up like lightning/ I’d rope the moon for you/ A million times/ That’s what I’d do/ If you were mine,” they sing.

“If You Were Mine” marks the country hitmaker’s first release as a “free agent” following her departure from her longtime label home, Sony Music Nashville.

The song follows the release of Lambert’s latest album, Palomino, which dropped in April of 2022 and spawned hits like “Actin’ Up,” “Strange,” and “If I Was A Cowboy.”

Additionally, Miranda Lambert recently released her first-ever cookbook, Y’ALL EAT YET? Welcome to The Pretty B*tchin’ Kitchen, which arrived on April 25. Upon release, the book landed at No. 1 on the How-To, Advice & Miscellaneous Books list, making Lambert a New York Times Best Selling Author.
