You’ll see an Instagram from Staci Felker above. Staci Felker is the estranged wife of Evan Felker, and the IG is from a happier time in their marriage. Evan Felker is currently Miranda Lambert’s new boyfriend/hookup. Everything seemed to happen all at once back in February: Miranda got dumped by Anderson East, Evan left his wife Staci and then more than two months later, Miranda and Evan are “coming out” as a couple. We see you. We’ve been seeing you. Anyway, Evan’s estranged wife is apparently devastated. She posted this message to her Instagram Story yesterday:
Us Weekly has more details:
Evan Felker’s estranged wife, Staci Felker, may have just broken her silence on his relationship with Miranda Lambert and the reports that he was unfaithful to her with the “Tin Man” singer.
“PSA: If Staci Felker can make it through this week, so can you,” Staci, who filed for divorce from Evan a month after he started touring with Lambert, wrote alongside a teary selfie on her Instagram Story on Thursday, April 26.
Us Weekly exclusively revealed on Tuesday, April 24, that Lambert, 34, is dating the Turnpike Troubadours frontman. A source told Us that the duo are “very much involved.” Another insider revealed that things just “happened” between the two of them on Lambert’s Livin’ Like Hippies tour, which started in January and runs through June.
They “started spending a lot more time together while on the road,” the insider added, noting that Lambert was still dating her now ex-boyfriend Anderson East at the time. Us Weekly exclusively revealed earlier this month that the “Automatic” crooner and East split after two years of dating.
So Miranda and Evan started touring together in January and by mid-February, her relationship with Anderson East was over and Evan had left his wife. I mean… it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to put all the pieces together. Here’s my question though: is Miranda Lambert some kind of sorceress or something? How is it that seemingly every man she encounters, regardless of marital status, ends up falling madly in love with her? Also: I wonder if Blake Shelton is going to tweet some more shady sh-t about karma?

In the immortal words of heath ledger in 10 things I hate about you, “Does she have beer flavored nipples or something?”
Lololol
She’s THE Country Barbie though. Blond, cute, not model skinny, big boobs, sweet smile and a talent that’s highly respected in her community. I can see why the Country guys are all over her.
She has the Channing Tatum Face – all her features squished together in the centre of her face…@ischi above & @deets below- good points…
Potato potato I guess, because I think she looks like an Oompa Loompa in drag… I usually think women that are considered attractive are indeed attractive, but I do not get Miranda at all.
That face though… or that head in general haha
I don’t get her appeal at all, but obviously some guys do.
I don’t find her attractive. I’m one to see beyond looks though, like if you’re ugly on the inside it tends to reflect on the outside.
Money and press time, babies. It’s not her. It’s what she can do for a career.
Her boobs aren’t that big, average size for her size 😉
Her face is too small for her head.
Staci is really pretty, even while crying.
I just saw the pic of Staci Felker and I find her waaayyy more attractive than Miranda, if we’re just comparing looks. When couples are married and very used to one another, I can see how less mature people can stray for something new and different, but then those relationships die off, too. It’s maturity and love that keep a marriage together. If the partner you have is a cheater, then I say be happy they’re gone now, which gives you all the more time to find the right person. I seriously doubt those two will last long at all. What is that saying….cheaters never prosper?
Seconding ischi. She’s dude hot. Cute, petite blonde, nice rack, she parties and probably has a fun personality. That’s kryptonite for some supermen. (She reminds me of my friend who guys LOVE and also has these bad relationship habits, but is never lacking for a man, or two, or three)
Yep, thirded. I see it. I know what she’s got going on. It’s no mystery.
Now, why she seems to only go for married men, that’s a whole other thing. That’s a shame.
It’s even scientific: men like mediocrity. An interesting research showed that men usually find attractive women who seem drunk or dumb.
I agree. I don’t personally think she’s pretty, but she’s obviously attractive to some men. Unfortunately they all seem to be married…
Or she’s just available?
She probably read the “how to be everything your wife isn’t” mistress manual and the dumb men fall for it.
It’s both their faults but she’s the common denominator in all these “relationships”.
Methinks she’s the Elizabeth Gilbert of the county world and gets off on the drama.
Omg thank you for calling Elizabeth Gilbert out! I feel Like I am Alone in my stance on that one.
Yesss I m even more cynical and think Gilbert is trying to set up a tear jerker senerio to write another book about.
It wouldn’t have been cool for her to bail on her husband for another guy.
But a coming out book, and with someone who is dying of cancer??
PR Gold
Count me in on the anti-Elizabeth Gibert train. I’ve found her insufferable ever since the sh^tty Eat, Pray, Love book that someone foisted on me.
Elizabeth Gilbert: rich white mediocre woman takes head out of arse in order to contemplate navel.
Omg yes! “Eat, Pray, Love” was insufferable.
I’d suppose it has something to do with offering flattery and a sizable sexual appetite.
Worked for me thirty years ago (not with married men, though, singles only!!!) !
I think it’s quite intoxicating to be the white-hot focus of someone’s amorous intentions. That, and a lot of things happen on the road, away from family, friends and a settled life. Who knows if Felker even intended to leave is wife? Lambert wouldn’t be the first side piece to force the situation by making sure the wife ‘accidentally’ found out about the affair. Or, since she is a much bigger star than he, perhaps he decided to dump the working steady paycheck wife for a shot at the rich, big star brass ring. People are venal and selfish, and I believe Chris Rock, “A man is as faithful as his options.”
Great post.
God I wish you weren’t so right.
Wow, this thread is a little ugly. People picking apart her face, her body, saying she’s dumb, mediocre, sexually available, has a sizable sexual appetite.
Did I stumble into an MRA site? The question of “why would anyone be attracted to this person” is pretty dehumanizing.
I totally agree with you, Tiffany. The hypocrisy is stunning. I mean, say what you will about this affair (which, I agree, is messy and looks ugly on both of them) but why drag Miranda’s looks through the mud like that? Her looks and talent (which is undeniable) have nothing to do with this. It’s such a bitchy thing to do.
My apologies if I contributed obliquely to that, not my intent. I think she’s cute, and don’t agree with body shaming anyone. Even if they are shitty at relationships or even evil turds. You never know whose super sweet grandpa looks like the evil orange turd, for example, or has little hands. FWIW I don’t think the sexual appetite comment was meant as a put down, but I can def see how it was taken as such.
deets, I don’t think you did no, but then again, I wasn’t referring to anyone in particular – just the general direction the thread was going in. I don’t like affairs, cheating, betrayal, anything like that – I just don’t think whether or not people like Miranda’s face (or shape) has anything at all to do in that discussion. Just like I really don’t care about orange turd hands but I do care about people ruining this country with said orange turd tweetin’ hands. 😏
The worst part is that besides having a divorce, she will have to see the couple flaunting PDA for pics and articles saying how they are lovely together. If at least celebs just shut their mouths when they screw up, but the need to look angelic is higher than any respect or empathy for the people affected by their actions.
Yes, this is true! It isn’t horrible enough to do this to someone, phase two is rubbing it in! Blake and Miranda did it. Miranda and this guy and the next guy and the guy after that will do it too. I do think that in the throes of first, illicit passion, these people mistake that feeling for having found something special. It’ll wear off. That feeling isn’t what upholds long standing relationships. That feeling often comes and goes if you are in a relationship long enough.
Meh it won’t be for long.
This relationship will not last.
Even though the whole thing gives me a major case of side-eye, I sort of appreciate how Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus handled their screw up. They stayed respectfully apart in the public eye for about a year, I think, and Joshua Jackson didn’t have to see them sucking each other’s faces off on tabloids until he’d at least had some time to recover. The dumpster fire referenced in this article, however, is just disgusting.
It’s bizarre to think that a woman would continuously become involved with married men.
It’s show business I guess but still gross
I have known women like this irl and the weird thing is that they had dad’s who repeatedly cheated on their moms. I think it must be some weird psychological need to play out the scenario and have it end up “happy” while punishing their “mom” aka the poor married women for not keeping their man’s attention. Like misplaced resentment, almost? It should be studied lol
Never thought of it that way.
Makes it worse.
I knew a woman who only goes for long term married men. She literally plots on their sexual vulnerability, and thrives on the conquest drama.
I know a woman like her, she’s a friend of a friend. My partner and I can’t go to a get together without her flirting with him and touching his chest right in front of me. He has told her before that he’s uncomfortable with her behaviour but she kept doing it. We don’t go to parties when she’s there now because he’s afraid I’m going to hurt her lol
Well, there’s some of that, but I also just think it’s a power trip for some people. Because they’re assholes.
Could be a form of protecting themselves too, dysfunctional as it may be. As in, I will do anything to not put myself in a situation like my mother, I will not be hurt. So, I will be the one to hurt them etc…Whatever it is, women (and men) who do this on the regular, need therapy!
Amy Winehouse wrote a song about this, “What Is It About Men.”
It is a way of having the power, before that power drags you down first. If her father was a cheater, then she likely cheated on Blake because she didn’t trust him not to cheat first. She has likely never had faith in commitment and marriage because of it.
Yeah. And men who partake are well gotten rid of as that’s just a life of sorrow. Good on his ex divorcing him quickly. That’s a smart woman and wow she is beautiful too. She deserves better in life and love.
Well obviously Miranda has a type (married). Or my mom likes to say, she’s only attracted to married men. Quite unfortunate because the ex is pretty. So this dude left his pretty wife for that and eventually Miranda will cheat on you too honey!
@holly hobby wow, it’s almost like his ex being pretty didn’t impact whether or not he would cheat on her… almost like looks aren’t everything.
Does Miranda ever comment? We’ve heard from everyone else, how does she frame it? I’m guessing she’s an all’s fair in love and war kind of gal.
Sooner or later she will run into a real warrior. #Karma
Isn’t this the same woman who wrote that obnoxious song about being cheated on, destroying someone’s personal property and being really proud of it? Call me crazy but I don’t think she does all that much contemplating of her own motivations and issues.
Kim, I think you may be thinking of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats”.
I knew someone very similar. Ditched her friendship fast as soon as I figured it all out (long story). Anyway, she has everyone close to her convinced her ex did something horrible to her and has slammed and scapegoated him for nearly 30 years now. Then he called her up recently and she couldn’t even talk to him – pretended she was someone else and said he had wrong number. He didn’t want to marry her and THAT seems to have been the issue. Pretty sure I’m the only one who knows. Ever since, she’s all up in other relationships causing havoc and sorrow for families, partners etc. The hammer will fall for her and it’s not going to easy as she’ll be old then finally. I don’t wish her ill but it’s been stunning to process this.
I see Miranda in similar light. It’s good the healthy people are letting their wandering partners go. They deserve better. Anyone engaging in a train wreck like this just causes pain for themselves and everyone close.
I know that I’m showing my immaturity bc relationships and people are so complicated and as far as actual involved partner relationships my experience is a bit limited but … I just think Miranda Lambert is a bad person.
I don’t find your take immature at all, most times it really is that simple. She’s just an a-hole.
She must be really good in bed!!! 🙂
LOL I didn’t want to say it, but…yep, that too.
LOL!!!!
Well, she is someone different in bed than their wives for sure. That may well be all it takes. Combine that with the cheaters thrill and add in her fame, voila sexual dynamo! In reality she is probably just average and willing.
If she couldn’t sing or wasn’t famous, she could well just be the side piece from the local bar that everyone has had and passed on because they know the are just the next one in line.
Exactly . I don’t care if she can sing. Her behavior is downright horrific and disgusting. She doesn’t care who she hurts and walks over. This guy won’t be the last. His soon to be ex won’t be the last. She enjoys the power she has over all.
Tree, that’s exactly it for her i think too.
Drag him, Staci. He deserves it. Alas, she’s probably too classy to do it!
Miranda is going to fall in love for real one day and he’s going to break her heart into pieces just like she’s doing to these women. You can’t keep this up forever girl. Paybacks gonna bite your butt and I hope it hurts you bad! KARMA!!!
She looks like Mr. Potato Head, that is one wide face. But…I think she still does love Blake, the guy who dumped her. She learned how it feels since she said in a 2005 Dateline interview she knew Blake was married, but their chemistry was undeniable. BS. All the single people out there, and some are just attracted to the ones that are taken. She will get burned again, same m.o. The wife should be happy to get rid of a cheater and know this marriage will never last and she will have the last laugh.
More likely he’s always cheated on the road. Then along comes Miranda. She’s a power player in country music. Turnpike Troubadours have bragged about not needing the big spotlight. Maybe he’s changing his mind on that.
yeah, there’s def a power dynamic thing going on. besides her being “country Barbie” as someone said above (conventionally cute, blond, big boobs, thin but not frail, etc), she also has connections. if he wants a bigger audience, this will give it to him.
but at what cost?…people now think he’s a d-bag cheater.
It didn’t hurt Blake Shelton
$100 he does a solo thing
Ah, that would make a lot of sense.
I agree with this. The wife is lucky it was Miranda and she found out what kind of person he really was. Now she won’t waste any more time with him or make him the father of her kids. I doubt he became this person overnight.
There are rumors about her aggressively pursuing Eric Church and he turned her down repeatedly, so not every man falls for her games. Just the already sh***y ones.
exactly. i don’t mean to stereotype, but he’s a touring musician with some success. rarely are men in that position 100% faithful. of course there are faithful married musicians, but the temptation is immense and you’re away from real life, in a new city every day. easy to have one-night-stands and move on and never tell your wife because how would she ever find out anyway, it’s just a random groupie. except this time it isn’t.
Considering he was married when he scurried off with Miranda, Blake, uh, may want to cool his jets on believing “karma” is coming her way.
I feel sorry for the ex-wife that she wound up married to such a jackass. Hopefully, she moves on and finds someone who treats her right.
I feel so bad for Stacie. This is humiliating and devastating, no doubt.
That being said, her IG is a reminder to all of to never post sappy-ass shit about your partner on social media. Just don’t do it, people.
Always makes me cringe, and then it makes me cringe again when the shit hits the fan. Or when I hear about the object of the mushy posts complaining about their partner. That never fails to make me feel awkward and cringey. I get divorce lawyers advertised to me on social media because I hardly ever post about my husband. I find it funny, really.
THIS! It will always come back to haunt you. ALWAYS.
Agreed kitten! It’s always the sappy over sharers that end up eating their words. Sad but true.
Another pro tip: NEVER TATTOO A LOVE INTEREST NAME ON YOUR BODY. NO MATTER WHAT.
My cousin did that with a girlfriend’s name. It also had the date that they met. His next girlfriend made him add one thing – the date he broke up with her. So now it looks like a tomb stone!
You know what though, I’m actually glad that she posted all that sappy ass shit. It’s obvious she gave her whole heart to him and she was all-in for their marriage, no reservations. Everyone should be able to do that without fear in their marriage and I hope she’s able to do it in her next one without being afraid.
There is nothing embarrassing for her in those sappy posts, it’s only embarrassing for him because it really highlights what a colossal ass and scumbag that he is and what a huge betrayal it was.
While I don’t condone affairs, I get why people do it. What I don’t get is wanting someone else’s husband long-term in a relationship. He has shown you he is not a good partner. Act accordingly.
How you get em is how you lose em.
His wife is prettier than Miranda. I actually used to like Miranda. Now I think she is vile.
This will NOT be good for her career or her reputation. Self-inflicted, unfortunately.
She had posted in January about being busy with work and missing her husband, hashtagging him. Little did she know what was to come.
Miranda is a huge country music star. There was a source that said Miranda had reached out to him personally about opening for her. Usually management does that. Then she started talking to him about writing with her. He was excited.
I think his head has been turned about taking his band to the next step famewise and successwise, and that’s the big lure of cute Miranda. But it appears that Miranda had her sights set on him by that source, probably Staci’s friend, who said he had even shown all of Miranda’s private texts/DMs maybe to him which started to become overly friendly and/or personal. He even asked her to come on tour with him, supposedly because he was becoming uncomfortable with Miranda’s attention in the DMs. Staci has a career and couldn’t be off traveling with him. I guess him being so open about it made her trust in her man, that he wasn’t interested in Miranda.
But ghosting his wife once he started a full-blown affair not long after going on tour shows me a weak man in character. He’s not a young, immature guy in his early 20s. That was cruel,
His wife is very pretty and appears to have a lot more class and dignity than those two. They were only married a couple of years, but apparently had been together much longer than that. Miranda is the new shiny toy with lots of money and fame in the country music world as part of the allure.
I feel bad for Staci because being cheated on sucks and to have be so public is likely even worse. But I find that PSA on her selfie to be obnoxious.
Eh she’s hurting and angry so can’t blame her and certainly won’t judge her. I remember the drunk angry texts I never should have sent and that was to a douche I only dated not married. It’s part of the process, she’ll look back and rethink it but for now let her LIVE
In response to Merritt. Thank you. She was also grateful when Trump got elected. People don’t leave relationships and marriages they are committed to! It’s just that simple. The Felkers didn’t even make it to the two year mark. That tells me that there were probably issues all along (issues that she over compensated for via her lovey dovey Instagram posts) and I’d wager if not Miranda there would have been someone else that came along that Mr. Felker would have ended his marriage for.
The wife was grateful when Trump was elected? Well there goes any sympathy I had.
There it is. I agree.
A Trump supporter? Bye.
Ugh. Well the sliver of sympathy I had is gone.
That’s not what she said: “Because on the day Trump became president, I felt so grateful that I kicked off 2017 being that man’s wife and spending all my time surrounded by a team of superstars at EY!
#positivevibes
#gratitude”
She posted an old picture from her wedding on the day of Trump’s inaugeration to share positive vibes
Oh, no.
The majority of those county music people are. If she is, that means her hubby is. Good going, Miranda. I thought you had become a little more enlightened. So you’re not only hooking up with another married man, but a Trump supporter at that. I always assumed Anderson East wasn’t a Trump supporter. He didn’t seem the type. But maybe I’m wrong.
I know- really I do-that profiling people is wrong. But if you voted for that corrupt, racist, lying, p***y grabbing, sh*thole of a person, I just ran out of F’s to give. Since she was grateful for President Fat A**, I suggest she move to DC so she can fangirl over our cheater-in-chief.
Yeah, no. She was speaking out against Trump, not supporting him. She was posting positive things to counter Trump becoming president.
@Merrit. I’m petty and could be projecting but I actually find it kind of…glorious? There is going to be a push by Miranda and Felker’s PR to present this as an epic love story/passion that cannot be denied, etc. They are going to spin it and to spin it right you got to cut out the non-cheating partners. The selfie/psa is saying, “nope, nope. Still here. You do NOT get to write me out of this narrative.” Again, I’m petty and could be projecting and I’m not even sure what she was saying with the trump thing so I am open to being wrong.
Miranda doesn’t have a magic V! She simply pounces when the target is vulnerable ie when the married man is touring away from his wife, he’s probably partying with his boys and she swoops in with her money/fame/willingness to do things for him/to him. PLEASE don’t take this as an excuse for the mans actions as he’s a weak ass pig as any man who cheats…just saying this is Miranda’s MO & not because she’s magical, she’s methodical. Hope karma and the next women she screws over punches her right in the face.
And she’s a famous country music star, who is an A-lister in that industry. She’s got a lot of power and connections. So that is attractive for people like him who think hooking up to her will benefit their own career. Superficial, but true.
How awful for his wife… (and for Blake’s first wife, AHEM). In time she will be glad to be rid of him…but in the meantime…spill some tea girl!
*sigh* BALLS !!!!!
Where does this come from.
Edit: This was to a comment that has since been deleted.
There’s always time for BALLS, especially on a Friday.
OO
I know that the married person is the one responsible for homewrecking their own shit. But getting involved with married men seems to be her M.O. so it’s not like she’s innocent in this. Especially in this case, she’s the bigger star, and technically, his boss while on tour. If he tried to flirt or get close to her, it would have been easy for her to shut that down quick (let’s remember she was in a serious relationship too!). But my guess is she went for him, and let it be known she was open to his advances. They’re both guilty.
Honestly it’s not that hard to turn down a married man or one in a relationship. You can easily and immediately create boundaries that let’s them know it’s not cool with you.
But Miranda though, ugh, i just know women like her. i had to stop being friends with them because the immaturity and drama just got to be too much. They definitely do get some sort of thrill for being the one the dude they target eventually choses.
I remember having a conversation with one of my ex friends about why she always flirted and teased guys she wasn’t into, especially when she knew her other friends were, and she very nonchalantly said, “because I just like to win.”—That’s Miranda.
Agree.
Yep..I’ve known a couple of women like that as well. There are women who are flirtatious and harmless and then there are some who are malicious flirts like Miranda. It’s a game to them, and they’re always pruning themselves on their “conquests”. In my case, I had to give those triflin’ ass b*tches the boot. You are completely aware of their antics but men rarely, if ever, are, or else they’re just up for the game. And forget about confronting them, then YOU’RE just jealous of their allure, their looks, etc, etc 🙄
@Ladiabla
I’m gonna have to start introducing “triflin’ ass b*tches” to my vocab haha.
It’s definitely a game to them. It was such a revelation when i finally became aware of that. Such toxic behaviour. And pathetic. just sad. It’s kind of ironic they think you’d be jealous, when really you wouldn’t anything to do with them and their petty dramas.
Damn I wish I didn’t get booted from that fan page so I could see what they all be saying now!
I went to her insta and it is full of people saying they love her and want to be her. What’s wrong with people!
She’s clearly a horrible person.
Of course, there was a fair bit of comments on her homewrecking ways. She’s a homewrecker, but her new piece who ditched is wife is also a loser and is just at fault. She’ll dump him eventually and he’ll go running back to his wife. Hope she doesn’t take him back.
I feel like she most be a very self conscious miserable person inside to feel the need to go after married men. Likes she’s trying to prove that she can get what she wants.
I don’t find Miranda at all attractive outside or inside.
That huge face and pointy chin, yikes.
I think that both people are responsible for cheating, not just the married person when cheating is going on.
Don’t do to others what you don’t want to be done to you.
Agree.
Maybe he could leave his wife easily, but how could he leave their fur baby Brutus? My heart melted. He’s so cute.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BE7C0gMwLBK/?hl=en&taken-by=stacifelker
Eh, 10 bucks say the husband has a string of groupies w/ their own stories. The only difference seems to be that Miranda has status/exposure and will not be a groupie.
I’m still surprised at the vitriol against Miranda Lambert. Not that she doesn’t deserve it, but I would have thought that it would be equally levelled against that Evan person as well, considering it was his marriage he checked out on and his wife whose heart he broke.
Like, the man didn’t *have* to hop into bed with anyone. No matter how magnetic a personality they may have and how sexually adventurous they may be. He could have said no at any point. Lots of men do. Lots of men and women refrain from emotionally fraught situations like this one and focus on their marriage provided that’s what matters the most them. Clearly his marriage didn’t matter enough for him to do that, which is why this happened. There’s no way he didn’t know Miranda Lambert’s MO, if he works in country music.
I feel bad for his wife.
This
I don’t think she’s getting any more hate than the married dude. It’s just it’s easier to comment on her behaviour for many reasons…
1) She’s the more widely famous one
2) We know her messy relationship history, and she keeps repeating it
3) She likes to play the victim, when she’s really not.
I think they’re equally culpable.
This.
Yep. He’s just one in a line. Miranda is the focus.
We know she’s a repeat offender.
Perhaps she could suck the chrome off a bumper….
I don’t understand Lambert’s apparent irresistible appeal, physically or personality wise.. Evan’s ex wife on the other hand, is striking.
Who knows anymore
I like Miranda in general, and her music very much. This news about the affair is disappointing but not surprising. But let’s not break her down on her physical appeal – perhaps they connected on the MUSIC? I am NOT in any way excusing her (if she did) getting with a married man, but he was married – HE must be accountable as well. But as a fan, please Miranda, do not say another word about your “broken heart” when accepting awards. Also, Blake, when you tweet about gossip, you are NOT taking the “high road” brother.
RIP Miranderson (Miranda/Anderson East) Maybe he can ask Staci out. LOL
I assume he wrote this song about Miranda. I actually have this song on a playlist. I loved this performance and song. I was like, “Day-um.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJLBcADxXd0
Anderson East did not write this song. Ed Sheeran & Johnny McDaid (of Snow Patrol, Courtney Cox’s beau) wrote this. The duo behind Shape of You. Anderson does an amazing job, no question.
You’re right. Thanks. I knew they were involved, but I didn’t realize they had written the song before it was ever brought to Anderson. Apparently, Anderson asked permission to rewrite some of the lyrics to make it more personal to him, and they agreed. So Anderson has co-writing credit on it.
Yes, his vocal delivery is amazing on it.
From Billboard:
“So I went to him (Ed Sheeran) and said, ‘Hey, would it be okay if I played this for Anderson? I’m really really excited about this record we’re making and maybe it’s a song he would consider cutting.’ And he said sure.”
“Anderson, Nadel says, was interested as soon as he heard it. “It has a lot of elements of stuff we’ve been talking about,” he says, “but he really wanted to also make it his own and add his own lyrical twists that he could relate to more personally. Ed, Johnny and everyone was open to that idea so Anderson went in and started working on some of the verses.”
First off, I am a Miranda apologist, simply because her music has meant the world to me. I think she’s crazy talented and her latest album is, for me, a masterpiece.
That being said, I find her private life and issues to be one huge mess. Seriously, girl has huge issues. But then, did she ever claim anything else? Listen to “The Weight of These Wings” and all you hear is a very flawed human being – being very honest about her flaws. I don’t get where people see that she’s playing the victim – where exactly does she claim to be a victim? Sure, she sings about having a broken heart, but can’t your heart be broken even if you were the one to mess it all up? She has issues and she brings those issues into her songs which is what makes her music so incredible, relatable and touching. For me, at least. Again, NOT condoning her having an affair with married man; just pointing out how the narrative people are referring here never really came from her.
Secondly, like I pointed out earlier in this thread, what the hell does her appearance – her face, her curves, her anything – have to do with this? Pointing out her physical flaws just seems so bitchy and irrelevant. It has nothing to do with her hooking up with a man who obviously didn’t respect his own marriage, vows or wife.
I am not a fan of other music I’ve heard from her. But I love “The Weight of These Wings.” It’s fantastic.
I have never expected the musicians and artists I love to be perfect, always kind people. LOL I have heard bad stuff about probably every singer/band/guitarist, etc., I love. I love and follow these performers for years and their music brings me great joy, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been cruel and selfish at times in their real life. I think it’s when it’s an artist we love sometimes people tend to make apologies for them, but I basically most of the time just accept them for who they are and don’t even rationalize their behavior — or all of their bad behavior. I can understand some of it. People are human. I usually defend them as far as there are good sides also And just because they put it in music doesn’t excuse them or make them better people for doing that if they continually keep on hurting people in the process . Their self-inflicted pain sometimes just brings forth music people relate to or tap into because of where they are in their life. but if there is no growth from it, the next album won’t have the same impact, like hearing her sing again about her broken heart when we remember that wife Staci or her great love for her latest married lover.
I like Miranda, but I can still stay she is probably a woman that wants a man when she wants him and couldn’t care less about the damage done. One time I get. I honestly do. But a pattern like hers is what makes me think that way. I wouldn’t want her around my man. Let’s put it that way. I know women like her. I would still buy her next album if it’s a good as “The Weight of These Wings.”
As far as looks, I must be blind according to some on here, because I’ve always thought Miranda was really cute. She has a sparkly, open face. It’s a sweet face. It’s probably how she gets away with some underhanded behavior. His wife is beautiful. Miranda is pretty and talented and rich and famous and powerful. I think his reasoning has many layers to it for jumping in with Miranda. Let’s face it. I don’t think much of him dumping his wife so coldly. He’s not a young guy. He’s in his 30s. And it appeared she reached out to him, had her sights set on him, and he was happy to reciprocate that interest..
Jayna, I agree with pretty much all of the points you made. And again, I am not trying to make any excuses for Miranda here. I think this whole thing is a mess and I think she has a really unhealthy and hurtful pattern. I was merely pointing out how I think the majority of the people criticizing her attitude here don’t really know a lot about her attitude or how she is actually pretty honest about her issues – to a certain extent, at least.
And yes, I think she’s cute, too. In fact, I think she can be stunningly beautiful. But I didn’t ever think that before I started listening to her music so I’ve always just assumed my infatuation with her looks came from my feelings for her music.
Totally with you. As I said in a post yesterday ….I am totally Team Miranda the Artist. And I agree……this woman puts her stuff out there in her art, in no way does she play cutesy, claim to be perfect, or really even pretend to hide her flaws, her mistakes, her vulnerabilities.
And when she turns them into art like The Weight of These Wings—a fabulous, platinum, award winning album that I’d take to a deserted island — I am able to embrace her for it.
Sue me.
Sigh.
Hurt people who refuse to face their pain end up hurting other people. That’s why all the criticisms of Miranda. She’s hurting loads of others because she’s too stupid and weak to deal with her own pain. She is a female version of men who hurt women. No passes for Miranda.
Read this story about their relationship that she wrote on facebook. WOW.

What stands out to me is she wanted a dream wedding. She was at that age where she needed / wanted to be married. Clearly there were issues all along. And this is all on the hubby, not Miranda. People committed to their relationships, marriages, and spouses don’t “abandon” them after less than two years.
That essay makes her sound immature in my opinion and both were looking to fill some kind of void. Those types of marriages almost never work out.
Miranda has serious issues. She should be held responsible for who she falls in loves with. People don’t keep falling in love with taken people by accident. You have a boundaries you set with new friends that are married. This is just cruel and selfish. She needs to go to counseling and figure this out so she can have a blessed life and stop hurting so many people around her. Doesn’t she realize she isn’t that special. Karma will get her and probably already is.
Both, Evan and Miranda are a piece of work.
Yes, Evan is the married one in this situation, so clearly his culpable.
But so is Miranda in my opinion, because she knew that he was a married man and didn’t seem to mind.
People who are in committed relationships can’t cheat without people willing to cheat with them.
You need two to TANGO!!!!!
So, they are both responsible, Evan and Miranda for causing heartbreak to Evan’s wife.
I don’t care what wonderful and sweet music Evan and Miranda may create, it doesn’t excuse the mess they created for others to clean up.
I never want to hear from Miranda or Evan about heartbreak, if you lay with dogs, please don’t be surprised when you get flees.
Selfish people deserve everything they get from the universe.
I don’t find Miranda at all attractive, very big wide face and that spikey chin.
And this kind of callous behaviour makes her very unappealing on the inside too.
She should have seeked help long time ago, so she would stop wrecking innocent people’s lives.
Maybe she should write music with another GREAT ARTIST Kanye,
his excuse for supporting The Orange Unqualified Bigoted Nightmare is his genius, I guess Miranda’s is sleeping around with married guys.
Maybe she gets a taste of her own medicine one day!
Miranda’s gotten some work done it looks like.
From Miranda Lambert’s ex Jeff Allen to Blake Shelton: ““You know, i’ve always given you the benefit of the doubt and chalked it up to just being human, But you must be one arrogant SOB to pop off something like this, when I know damn good and well you were cheating on your wife and Miranda was cheating on me when you two started up,” Allen wrote in a now-deleted tweet to the “God Gave Me You” singer on Thursday, April 26.” (I think it’s a tweet)
I understand why she is the one being labled a “homewrecker.” It seems she has cheated on everyone she has dated or married with married men or men in relationships.
Country singers are usually conservative Republican Christians, correct? What ever happened to “Family Values”? I’m not saying I’m perfect and haven’t made mistakes, but I don’t belong to a political party in which people who belong to the party have pointed their fingers at everyone else for years and shouted about Family Values. There is no judging here from them after years of judging progressives? Are they allowed to judge after voting in Donald Trump? I don’t think they can ever use “Family Values” again.
I know for a fact that Staci is very much NOT a trump supporter. But also that she doesn’t judge others based on their political affiliation.
I’m unfortunately not shocked that people were attacking her earlier in this thread because they read a post incorrectly and assumed she voted for someone they didn’t vote for.
She liked Bernie if I do recall…
Awwww….I want to give that poor woman a hug.
