In country music , where the boots are tall and the tunes are even louder, you might expect that being a top star could feel lonely.
But the country music world is more like a close-knit family than a competition. Country artists often support each other and stay in touch — or at least, they try to.
For two of the biggest stars, Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen, friendship is a sure thing. But texting each other? That’s another challenge, especially when it comes to getting a reply from Wallen.
Keep reading for more details!
In a recent interview with Taste of Country Nights: On Demand , Miranda Lambert shared a behind-the-scenes tidbit about her relationship with Morgan Wallen.
She revealed that, while they may be great friends and frequent collaborators, texting Wallen can be a bit of a challenge.
Lambert even confessed that despite their bond, Wallen can be notoriously hard to get a response from.
When asked who she thought should take home Entertainer of the Year at the upcoming CMA Awards , she didn’t hesitate to give Wallen a shout-out.
But when it comes to chatting with the “ Last Night ” singer via text, things aren’t so straightforward.
“I could text him, but he probably won’t text back,” Lambert admitted with a laugh, showing that even among stars, the texting game isn’t always on point.
When Lambert delved deeper into the mystery of Morgan’s texting habits, she kept it real. “He’s a dude, dudes are terrible.
They just won’t!” she joked, suggesting that maybe it’s just a universal guy thing when it comes to being a little lax in the texting department.
This humorous take on Wallen’s texting style is just another example of the fun, laid-back relationships country stars share. They’re competitive on the charts, but behind the scenes, it’s all about camaraderie and good vibes — even if it takes a while to get a text back.
She even teased the idea of texting him live during the interview, grabbing for her phone before realizing she didn’t have it on her.
Lambert, always the jokester, suggested that if she were to send him a message, it would be something simple like, “What’s up?!” But let’s be real — Wallen likely wouldn’t see it right away.
“It’s early for us kinds,” she added, poking fun at the musician’s lifestyle, where late nights and slow mornings are the norm.
Lambert and Wallen aren’t just friendly acquaintances — they’ve worked together, too, adding another layer to their connection.
Despite the texting hurdles, the two clearly have a mutual respect and admiration for each other’s talent.
Lambert’s willingness to throw her support behind Wallen for Entertainer of the Year shows just how much she values him as a peer.
Both stars have made massive waves in the country music scene, with Wallen’s “Last Night” dominating the charts and Lambert continuing to release hit after hit.
Their friendship is proof that country music is more about building each other up than tearing each other down.
Speaking of new music, Lambert is also gearing up for the release of her next album , Postcards From Texas , dropping on September 13th under her new label, Republic Records.
The lead single, “Wranglers,” is already generating buzz, and fans are eager to hear what else Lambert has in store.
This new album is expected to carry Lambert’s signature blend of heartfelt storytelling, with a few surprises thrown in.
The transition to Republic Records signals a new chapter in her career, and Postcards From Texas is shaping up to be a must-listen.
As for Wallen, we can only hope he’s awake to hear it — or at least, eventually see the text alert from his friend Miranda telling him about it.
What’s most endearing about this little revelation from Lambert is how it highlights the real, down-to-earth nature of country stars.
Despite their fame, awards, and success, they’re just like us — complete with unread messages and missed calls.
Miranda Lambert’s light-hearted struggle to reach Morgan Wallen is a reminder that behind the glitz and glamor, these artists are real people, with busy lives and quirks that make them even more relatable to fans.
So the next time you shoot off a text to a friend and get left on read, just know, you’ve got something in common with Miranda Lambert.
And hey, if she can’t get a text back from Morgan Wallen, maybe we can all cut our friends some slack!
