Miranda Lambert recently offered encouragement to 'American Idol' contestants, recalling her rise from poverty and homelessness to stardom. As part of the show's 'Iconic Women' night, she emphasized the importance of authenticity and support. Lambert reflected on her childhood struggles, including being homeless at six, highlighting how those experiences shaped her. Her family's resilience is a central theme, as they managed to find stability despite tough times. She fondly recalled voting for Carrie Underwood during her 'Idol' journey and expressed pride in their lasting careers in music.
We were homeless. It sounds weird to say it now, because weâre so blessed.
My 'Idol' memory is Carrie Underwood. Honestly, I remember watching her and voting her, and thinking, 'This gal's going to go do some big stuff.'
Two of the windows were boarded up, and we never did get central heating. So when you had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you had to run, because it was freezing.
All that being said, it is a sad story, but it's also a story of strength and resilience.
