July 10, 2007 — Miranda Lambert's heart and home remain in tiny Lindale, Texas, about 80 miles east of Dallas. Miranda says she chose to buy a house near her parents in her hometown of Lindale — population 4,000 — because it keeps her grounded.
"I'm on the road so much, that when I am home, I want to get back to reality," Miranda recently told North Carolina's Fayetteville Observer. "It's important to me to stay close to my roots. I can relax here and be normal."
It comes as no surprise that her current hit single is titled "Famous in a Small Town." Miranda jokes, "It's everything that did or could happen in Lindale."
Miranda recently took a week off to spend time with her boyfriend, Blake Shelton, in Oklahoma. The pair had a friendly wager on who would sell the most albums when they both released their projects on May 1. Miranda won when her Crazy Ex-Girlfriend beat Blake's Pure BS by 4,499 copies, and as a result, he owes her a vacation.
"I just had to go and date an Okie," she said laughing. "We haven't done our vacation yet, but we're working on it. There's been some hard stretches where we only see each other once a month, but being in this business, we don't have time to get tired of each other. We have time to miss each other."
