History Music / MirandaLambert

** "Only Prettier", which is the point of view of a CoolLoser talking to an AlphaBitch: "We're just like you, only prettier."

Miranda Leigh Lambert (born November 10, 1983) rose to fame in 2003 as the third-place finisher on the first season of the musical competition ''Series/NashvilleStar''. After singing backing and duet vocals on first-placer Buddy Jewell's debut album, Lambert secured a contract with Creator/EpicRecords Nashville. Her debut album ''Kerosene'' was released to critical acclaim and strong sales, although its singles did not perform well (the title track, at #15 on Hot Country Songs, being its best showing).

* GoldDigger: The title track from the Pistol Annies debut album, referenced above, is this UpToEleven. The trio enumerate their collective takings: a diamond ring, a GTO, a big piece of land down in Mexico, a pink guitar, a Lincoln Town Car, a high-rise flat in Hollywood, a yacht, and a credit card that the sucker in question is apparently still paying for... and the refrain is, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou "Baby I'm coming for you."]]

** "Me And Your Cigarattes" is all about how conservative Christian's shouldn't be judgemental.

* GenreDeconstruction: Her main theme in her songs (when not outright using subversion) about the stereotypes of the image of a good, docile [[TheIngenue woman]] in country music and shows that women who abides by this tradition are spineless and miserable. Best shown in "Mama's Broken Heart".

* WanderlustSong: "New Strings.

* NotSoDifferent: "Only Prettier", which is the point of view of a CoolLoser talking to an AlphaBitch: "We're just like you, only prettier."

* AlbumTitleDrop: "Bluebird" has the line "And if the house just keeps on winning, I got a wildcard up my sleeve".

** While more of a wham ''sound,'' "Gunpowder and Lead" ends with the sound of a shotgun being fired, implying that what the singer was afraid of happening (her abusive boyfriend making bail and coming home to get revenge) actually did, and she followed through on the chorus.

'''As Pistol Annies'''

* WhamEpisode: "Vice", in a meta sense. This is the first single from Miranda ever since her divorce from Blake and request that the details being kept private. Most country fans assumed that [[TheUnfairSex Blake is in the wrong]], but "Vice" is basically Miranda admitting her flaws of being TheAlcoholic and [[YourCheatingHeart sleeping with other men]] that contributed to the end of their marriage.

* ''Hells On Heels'' (2011)

* PsychoExGirlfriend: The subject of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend".

* HereWeGoAgain: "Vice" is Miranda admitting to her flaws of being TheAlcoholic and [[ReallyGetAround having meaningless hook ups]] but she can't do anything to stop it because of her loneliness. The music video also employs this trope: When Miranda is about to make a decision at a crossroad, a car comes up to her and she went to its backseat similar to her position at the start of the video, implying that it will crash like that car.

* LighterAndSofter: Undoubtedly because of her marriage to Blake, ''Platinum'' and ''For The Record'' notably contain less gritty songs compare to the other albums.

* WhamEpisode: "Vice", in a meta sense. This is the first single from Miranda ever since her divorce from Blake and request that the details being kept private. Most country fans assumed that [[TheUnfairSex Blake is in the wrong]], but "Vice" is basically Miranda admitting her flaws of being TheAlcoholic and [[YourCheatingHeart sleeping with other men]] that leads to the end of their marriage.

* TakeThat: Went after the Grammy producers and general society for accepting back Music/ChrisBrown so easily after he beat up {{Music/Rihanna}} and physically abused her and for being a convicted felon

* WanderlustSong: "New Strings."

* [[PsychoExGirlfriend Crazy Ex-Girlfriend]]

* LyricalColdOpen: "Somethin' Bad" jumps right in with an a cappella refrain.
* MsFanservice: At many of her concerts and magazine covers, Miranda is dressed in a white strapless T-shirt and jeans, arguably -- given that she is very attractive -- a fashion statement for many women in their 20s and early 30s.

* VocalTagTeam: In Pistol Annies, some songs have all three of them sharing the lead, or just one of them leading and the other two harmonizing.
