Miranda Lambertmay still be a sucker for a sad country song, but she’s feeling nothing but joy these days.
Before singing a stripped-down version of one of her most heartbreaking songs, “Tin Man,” on the Atlantic City stop of herRoadside Bars & Pink Guitars tourover Labor Day weekend, the country superstar told the crowd that despite singing a “sad” song, she’s “not in a sad time anymore.”
The audience cheered as her husband,Brendan McLoughlin, who stood off to the side to watch his wife perform, acknowledged her sweet shout out.
“So even though I’m not sad anymore thanks to Brendan my husband, I still love a sad country song with all my heart, so I’m going to sing a sad one if you want to get sad with me,” she added.
