Here is how this talented artist achieved a net worth of $45 million.

Lambert’s Early Life

According to Biography.com, Miranda Lambert was born in Longview, Texas, on November 10, 1983. Although her parents ran a private detective agency, her father was also a guitarist and songwriter, which influenced her love for music. She was also influenced by growing up listening to country music singers, such as Guy Clark and Merle Haggard.

Launching Her Career

Miranda Lambert began her professional career in the music industry while she was still in high school. At the age of just 16, she made her debut with ‘The Texas Pride Band’ and fronted the house band in a Longview venue. She also appeared on the Johnnie High Country Music Revue, and this led to her acquiring a recording session. However, she was frustrated by being presented with pop music when she wanted to focus on country music. Lambert asked her father to teach her to play the guitar, and she began writing her own songs. By 2001, she has released a 10-track, self-titled album. This raised her profile and she was hired to perform at Tye Phelps’ country music restaurant.

Her big break came when she competed in the talent competition ‘Nashville Star’. She finished in the third position and attracted the attention of show judge Tracy Gershon, who was also a Sony Music Executive. Gerston persuaded the music label to sign Lambert. After signing with Epic Records in 2003, Lambert released her debut single ‘Me and Charlie Talking’ the following year. This was the lead single to ‘Kerosene’, her debut album. This was a critical and commercial success, and it debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums charts.

At the 2010 CMA awards, Miranda Lambert received a record-setting nine nominations, and she went on to win the Album of the Year with ‘Revolution’. The following year, she won the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for ‘The House That Built Me’. Riding high on this success, Lambert released ‘Four the Record’, her fourth album, in November 2011. This was her first album with RCA Nashville, and she released six singles from the album.
