Blake Shelton ‘Fodder’ for Miranda Lambert’s Hit Songs (EXCL)
Miranda Lambert continues to make bucks off her long-ago marriage with Blake Shelton — and a source exclusively tells In Touch she’s still stuck on him nine years after their breakup.
Although she is now wed to 32-year-old ex-cop Brendan McLoughlin — and Blake is now married to 55-year-old pop princess Gwen Stefani — Miranda, 40, recently released the record Postcards From Texas, featuring a slew of songs that friends say delve into her painful split from 48-year-old Blake.
And while the “Mama’s Broken Heart” singer coyly refuses to say who the songs are about, she admits they are autobiographical.
“I signed up to tell the truth,” she says. “And I just feel like it’s important to — good, bad and ugly — tell your story.”
But despite their bitter split in 2015 after four years of marriage, Miranda’s songs seem to paint her once-hated ex-hubby in a positive light!
On the track “Run,” Miranda sings: “Oh this freedom I found, babe, sure wasn’t free / I owe you a lifetime of apologies / I’m tellin’ the truth now / I loved you so much / I’m sorry for lyin’ about who I was.”
A friend says Miranda has been reassessing her shattered romance with Blake over the years.
“Miranda is older and wiser now and she no longer lays all the blame at Blake’s feet,” spills the source. “Now it still gives her fodder for writing hit songs!”
