Throughout her career in country music, Miranda Lambert made a name for herself when releasing songs like “Kerosene” and “The House That Built Me.” Having released nine studio albums, her last, Postcards from Texas, hit the shelves in 2024. And during that time, she worked with labels like Epic Nashville, Columbia Nashville, Republic Nashville, and Big Loud. Now, ready for yet another chapter in her career, Lambert celebrated her newest label, MCA.
