It’s a great time to be a Miranda Lambert fan. At the beginning of the year she restarted her career with her new album Postcards from Texas. The first release with her new label and team, she returned to her Texas roots. The result was a collection of songs that would have been at home on their previous releases. In short, it was a return to form for the singer/songwriter. Tonight she shared her new energy with the audience New Year’s Eve live: Nashville’s big party from their bar, Casa Rosa.

As always, Lambert took the stage in style, wearing a short denim dress with pink fringes. However, the iconic outfits and stage production are just icing on the cake. The performance she delivered tonight (December 31) proved that she could command a stadium full of fans without all the extras.

Lambert took the stage at her Nashville bar, Casa Rosa’s, to perform “Livin’ on the Run” from her new album Postcards from Texas.

Miranda Lambert thinks about it Postcards from Texas

Postcards from Texas is a groundbreaking album for Miranda Lambert. It is her first release with her new team at Republic Records. Additionally, it was the first album she made in her home state of Texas since her early independent albums. Most importantly, she had full creative control over the album.

Earlier this year, Miranda Lambert spoke to American Songwriter about rebooting her career and what her new album means to her.

Lambert found the inspiration for her latest album while celebrating her 40th birthday. She and some friends took over Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth for her birthday party. “That was the beginning of ‘I know what I have to do now,'” she remembers. “I really just want to get back to the core and root of it all. Not that I ever left it,” she added.

Lambert enlisted her longtime friend, collaborator and producer Jon Randall to start the project. They gathered a group of musicians they both trusted, traveled to Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas, and got to work. “As soon as we got there, I thought, ‘That’s right.’ “This feels right to me,” she remembers.

Lambert hasn’t revealed any big plans for 2025. But with their new energy, new music isn’t out of the question.
