At this point, what’s the popular opinion on Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton? I don’t hate either of them, and in the past, I’ve read interviews with Miranda where she came across very well. That being said, my Spidey Sense is tingling about their marriage. I’m not saying “divorce” and I’m not saying any big controversy is imminent, but I do wonder if there’s some fire to be found amongst all this smoke. I get a “cheater” vibe from him and I get a “I’ll spy on my husband and burn all of his belongings if he looks at another woman” vibe from her, so it will get interesting.
Where was I going with that? Ah, yes – Miranda has recently lost some weight. It’s not like, say, Christina Aguilera where she looks like a totally new person or something. Miranda was a curvy girl and now she’s slimmed down, especially in her mid-section. I would say she’s probably lost 20 pounds. When I first saw photos of her weight loss, I thought, “Huh, I wonder if THAT has something to do with her marriage.” What I did not think, however, is that she lost weight in some weird way, like lipo or a tummy tuck. And Miranda just released a statement saying as much:
Though I NEVER care what the tabloids have to say about me… I wanted to address this certain story they are running this week and set the record straight. I DID NOT have surgery to lose weight. That is ridiculous. I lost my weight the healthy and good old fashioned way. Watching what I eat and working out with my trainer Bill Crutchfield. As for the assumed number of pounds lost…? I don’t even know! Like I have always said, it’s not about a scale, it’s about how you feel and how your jeans fit. And on November 10th when I turned 30, my skinny jeans were finally baggy! Mission accomplished! So for anyone who is tempted to read the “Trash Talk” please don’t. I am proud to be a normal size girl and I want to encourage everyone to be confident at any size. Thanks for the support yall!
Cheers, Miranda
While I don’t think she had lipo or her stomach stapled (seriously, she wasn’t big at all and I’ll believe Aguilera got staples before I’ll believe it about Miranda), I do wonder if her weight loss was ALL healthy? Like, I wonder if stress contributed to it. I wonder if Miranda was following Blake’s wandering dong around and she forgot to eat. But sure, diet and exercise. I’ll believe that too. Why not?
Also: the only thing that really shocks me is that Miranda is 30. That floors me every time. I always thought she was mid to late-30s. I know that’s rude to say and I’m sorry, but seriously, how is she ONLY 30?
Miranda in February 2012:

I always thought she was older too.
She looks good but the difference is minor – who would assume surgery?
Exactly. I can’t understand why anyone would go there. You don’t have surgery to lose 20 Lbs. She looked okay before and she looks great now but no huge difference.
But people assume everyone goes to extremes to be beautiful — whether it’s Botox or surgery. People do it all the time.
agreed, until I read this it wasn’t even a thought
I was shocked when I heard just the other day that she’s younger than me!
Anyway, she looks great.
My thought was and is that she lost weight in order to be more appealing to Blake, because Kaiser is right, he totally does seem like the type to have a wandering dong. If their marriage was as solid and amazing as they’re always making it out to be, why does this weight loss coincide with rampant rumors of Blake cheating on her? I think she slimmed down in order to compete with all the groupies Blake has undoubtedly acquired since he joined The Voice.
Didn’t he cheat on his first wife with her?
Woah I’m shocked that she’s only 30 as well. I thought she was at least 35
Y’all better believe her before she gets her big gun.
She looks great, and healthy. She was never that big, but she’s short so it always looked heavier on her frame. Now she just looks fit.
I was thinking she just looks toned and fitter, maybe a few pounds gone.
Personally, too lazy for all that leaping and stretching but good for her.
as far as cheating rumors; Blake was married when they got together
Yup. He is a sleezebag and so is she. She wanted him so bad. Good luck! 30 years old my ass.
Good thing women don’t tear other women down 😉
I only know Blake from that TV show and he came across really well.
Surgery is unnecessary when there is the dieter’s friend Adderall – or coke.
She looks great but what difference dies it make? He isn’t going to change his behavior over her weight.
I think she lost about 30 pounds and its not that hard to do in 3-4 months. Christina now…its like i cant unsee chubby christina aguilera so its weird when i see her skinny these days.
I lost over 30 pounds in 4 months, from a strict diet, and exercise and I am 55 years old, so I’m sure, a thirty year old, would have no problem doing this with the right diet and trainer…and I think she looks fabulous…still curvy and womanly…
MrsBPitt what did you do?
Hell, I’d love to lose 20lbs in 4 months let alone 30.
I like exercise but I eat what I want so I tend to just maintain all over.
That dark eye makeup is not serving her well at all.
That’s all I’ve got.
I hadn’t seen a thing about Miranda getting weight loss surgery until she commented, so I assume one of this week’s tabloids were running a cover story claiming surgery & this is her getting ahead of it? It’s probably a joke one like Star or the Enquirer. Sometimes I feel like celebs are better off ignoring the stupid tabloids who always troll celebs & their fans with fake speculative stories. But on the other hand I’m glad she made the point about supporting women of any size.
I don’t believe she lost her weight just by a healthier diet & exercise though. I’m sure both contributed but probably some extra non-habitual stuff (like a cleanse or something) were employed to enhance the weight loss in time for the CMA Awards “new body” reveal.
I think Blake and Miranda are fine now. Yeah it’s well known how they got together and I’m not saying they don’t have their moments. I think they’re just facing the pressure and scrutiny that comes from being a power couple now, but that’s what they wanted and what they’ve been doing all the PR for.
I like her with a little more weight on her. I think it suits her face really well!
she “never care about what the tabloids say about her”? Really? I thought she issued a bunch of statements and denials about reports their marriage was in trouble.
Her body looks fine.before and after.
What bugs me is that her face is too small for her head. I mean her eyes nose and mouth are all too close to each other on the bottom half of her face. Dont know if you’ll understand me….
Damn, I never heard about this chick, but I only clicked to see if anyone saw it too… And people really think she’s preetty?
she looks trimmed down, but its not that dramatic.
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to believe that these celebrities lost their weight through diet and exercise. If I had millions of dollars and didn’t have to work 9-5 (or six or seven), I would have a chef, nutritionist, and trainer at my beck and call. It’s not that difficult to get results under these circumstances, nor is it difficult to get them relatively quickly.
For once, allegations deemed ridiculous actually are. You don’t get your stomach stapled to lose 20 lbs. People sound jealous.
She didn’t look THAT slim at the CMAs the other weekend but perhaps it was just what she was wearing. Nonetheless I like Miranda’s body even with a little weight on it. She’s a pretty girl with some cushion. Nothing wrong with that. I’ll be interested to see though what prompted this little, lose weight and get healthy thing?
And when I say THAT slim, I mean as she did on the red carpet in the photo above. When she performed with Keith Urban I didn’t see a change at all…
I don’t think she’s ever going to be a thin girl but she looks great. Not a big fan of country music but she’s very talented….they both are. They make a nice couple.
I wouldn’t call myself a big fan of hers but I think she looks great.
I saw her open for George Strait in June and she is a PHENOMENAL performer. Better than a lot of other singers/musicians I’ve seen.
Hasn’t she been touring too? Performing is so physical, if she’s cmbining that with working with a trainer and staying away from the catering table (and not drinking after the show) then the weight would very reasonably come off.
Blake and Miranda: they’re both touring musicians. They have conflicting schedules where they’re both away from each other for significant stretches of time. It doesn’t bode well for any marriage. If they really wanted to make it work they’d tour together
I used to like them both until Blake tweeted about running over turtles in his truck and then I saw the video of them drunk and stoned and killing baby alligators for fun. I can’t ever look at Miranda without thinking of her saying “awww look I got blood on my engagement ring!”
*shudder*
I get to see Miranda in person from time to time. In person she looks 27- her skin is perfect and she is petite, spunky and cute. She’s also happy every time I’ve seen her. Don’t believe the BS in the rags!! The girl had been touring all year which is a work out on it’s own. Plus she’s just like anyone- she wants to look her best when she’s onstage.
