Miranda send her fans into shock by trading in tear-jerkers for a full-on, boot-scootin’ divorce anthem. Her latest single,“Alimony,”is less a mournful ballad and more a sassy slap back at heartbreak.
The Texas tornado proves she can write a catchy tune as well as she can break hearts. “Alimony” is a playful take on the often-bitter divorce process, complete with clever wordplay and a melody that’s as infectious as a case of the giggles.

While the song might be a departure from her usual ballads, it’s clear that Lambert is still the same honest and relatable artist we’ve always loved. So, next time you’re feeling down about love, just remember: even Miranda Lambert goes through breakups. And when she does, she turns it into a party.
