Miranda Lambert
From Blake Shelton, we move on to his ex-wife, Miranda Lambert. Third-place finisher on 2003’s Nashville Star, Miranda Lambert has since gone on to become a major player in the country music scene, with her debut album, Kerosene, producing some stellar tracks like Bring Me Down and Me and Charlie Talking.
Her subsequent albums, including Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Four the Record, and The Weight of These Wings have enjoyed incredible success. Plus, she’s won eight consecutive ACM awards, and she’s still only in her 30s. There’s no telling how far she can go.
