Miranda Lambert celebrated “the biggest honor I could ever dream of” in her home state over the weekend.
The most awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history was inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame on Saturday evening (February 21). The Texas Heritage Songwriters Association, a non-profit organization spotlighting the impact of powerful Texas songwriters, inducted Lambert, Don Cook, Keith Gattis and George Strait in its 20th anniversary induction. Lambert shared a few photos and videos by Tyler Conrad on Instagram on Sunday (February 22). She included shout-outs to fellow country artists and collaborators for their stunning tribute performances, and producer Frank Liddell for “the most heartfelt speech” during the induction ceremony in Austin, Texas.
“Last night was one I will never forget as long as I live. Being inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame along with King George, Keith Gattis, and Don Cook was the biggest honor I could ever dream of. Thank you to [Parker McCollum], [Natalie Hemby], [Ashley Monroe], [Jon Randall] and [Jack Ingram] for singing my songs and Frank Liddell for the most heartfelt speech. Texas is always home and the music that came from our great state is the music that built me. Big lone star love to all that have supported me all these years. My heart is full💙”
Lambert’s post includes a clip of Monroe and Hemby covering Lambert’s 2005 breakout single, “Kerosene,” McCollum’s rendition of “Famous in a Small Town,” Lambert’s performance of “Tin Man” with The Marfa Tapes collaborators Randall and Ingram, and more. See her post here:
