Miranda Lambert has no qualms about Beyoncé’s foray into music.
“The more people who are interested in country music, the better it is for all of us,” Lambert, 40, said exclusively. We interviewed weekly earlier this month, when we were asked about artists like Beyoncé, 42, and Lana Del Rey. who are experimenting with gender.
“We’ve had something for everybody, but it’s just not advertised that way,” the singer continued. “All those other types of artists are making country records [now], and if that brings more attention to our little circle that we have, I’m grateful. I think we just have to be open.
Lambert, who has been chatting with us while promoting his partnership with Lone River, added that he will help artists growing up in a way that feels original to them.
“Authenticity is what I stand for,” he said. And if that country music right now is authentic, then that’s all you can say. “
Beyoncé released Cowboy Carter, also called Act II: Cowboy Carter, in March. Though many have called it a country album, the pop star said she hopes the record will motivate other people to think beyond the boundaries of the genre.
“The complaint I faced when I entered this genre forced me to go beyond the limits imposed on me. The second act is the result of a challenge I set myself and taking my time dubbing and mixing genres to create this framework,” he wrote. Instagram in March. ” It’s not a country album. It’s a Beyoncé album.
As more artists move into the genre (Del Rey, 38, announced in February that her next album, “Lasso,” will be a country album), Lambert told us she thinks the time is right to be a woman in country music.
“There were times when women weren’t as good as I would have liked them to be and times when they were, and I feel like we’re back in one of those moments where the rules of the game are a little bit fairer, and I’m really excited about that,” she said. “I think Lainey Wilson has a big role to play in that as well. And I’m her biggest fan, I inspire her and say, “Run, girl, take it. Light the torch and run fast. “
Lambert noted that the formula is for her “the good looks of Nashville. “
“We’re other people’s friendliest organization and we both really love each other,” she said. “Even if you don’t like one and both songs that someone posts, we still love each other, especially as women in this world, so I’m grateful to be a part of it. “

Lambert plans to cheer up his fellow musicians by sharing some drinks at the upcoming Country Music Academy Awards rite on Thursday, May 16. You’ll arrive with your own water from the Lone River Ranch, adding the new flavor: Blackberry.
“I take my Airstream to the ACM for the artist complex. My little bar, its name is Wanda, it’s a little Airstream bar that’s powered by Ranch Water and there’s a lot of stuff to put in the coolers,” she said. We will all have one place, a small respite from all the chaos. “
