Miranda Lambert received recognition for the second year in a row at the 45th Annual CMA Awards when she claimed her Female Vocalist of the Year award. “I was really surprised,” said Lambert. “Honestly, I’m humbled. I had a great year last year, I won three CMAs on my birthday so I was kind of here to perform and be part of it but I was totally expecting someone else to take this award home this time.”
To help promote her latest No. 1 album Four the Record, Lambert will make several television appearances this week. Tonight, she will appear on NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno to perform her Top 10-and-climbing single “Baggage Claim.” On Wednesday, she will perform on the Ellen DeGeneres Show as well as ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!. Last week, she became the first artist in the 47-year history of the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart to have all four of her first albums debut at No. 1.
Miranda’s new headlining tour On Fire kicks off Jan. 12 in Rockford, Ill. with special guests Chris Young and Jerrod Niemann.
