Miranda Lambert Gets Candid About Her Anxiety During Coronavirus Pandemic

View this post on Instagram

I haven’t really known what to say on social media during all this. I’m not great at socials anyway and a time like this makes it that much more difficult for me to figure out how to be. Tuesday of this week is when I finally realized I could unpack. For the next few months for me there are no shows, no sound checks, no bus calls, no flights. Just home. Once I processed it, I actually got a feeling of peace even though , like all of us, my anxiety about the sate of the world right now is still through the roof. I’ve started working on some projects around the farm that I kept running from because I had to leave for work and some I’ve wanted to run from because organization is not my fav. Ive been having some pretty cool virtual happy hours with friends and family. Brendan and I have been cooking, cleaning, working out (some virtual classes but not enough @b.w.fitness @willowpilatesstudio 😬) spending time with dogs and horses and just being together quietly . Well besides the country music constantly coming through the speakers. I have written a few songs for the first time in a year. And text writing a cowgirl song with @ronniedunn (such a fan girl of B&D). Today I spent most of the day thanking Jesus that the sun was out. The baby chicks are about to move into their new coop and that’s about all the news we have around here for the time being. We miss our road family, New York family and I dang sure miss my Texas fam. My soul sister @apes_1983 just had her first baby yesterday, baby Finn, and we only get to see him through a screen for now. I wish I was there in person. Soon enough good Lord willin. But in happy news, this box arrived today and I felt my heart jump. Some wine from @red55winery , freshly canned salsa, apple butter, Paw Paws bbq sauce, and a note on napkin. “Sending love from home. love mom and dad (be safe). I do feel safe now knowing that even though they are over 600 miles away I’m connected to all of them. Sending light to all the first responders and health care workers. Stay home. Call home

Miranda Lambert has broken her silence about the coronavirus pandemic, stressing it was initially hard for her to put her thoughts into words.

The country crooner, 36, took to Instagram Friday to share a photo of a touching gift she received from her parents this week while she and husband Brendan McLoughlin remain at home in quarantine. The singer’s parents mailed the couple bottles of wine, snacks and a handwritten note that reads: “Sending love from home, love mom and dad (be safe).”

“I haven’t really known what to say on social media during all this. I’m not great at socials anyway and a time like this makes it much more difficult for me to figure out how to be,” she captioned the Instagram post.

The singer confirmed that, like the rest of her fellow country artists, she has “no shows, no sound checks, no bus calls, no flights” for the next few months as the pandemic continues to spread around the globe.

“Once I processed it, I actually got a feeling of peace even though, like all of us, my anxiety about the sate (sic) of the world right now is still through the roof,” she wrote.

In order to cope, the singer revealed she’s been spending her time having “virtual happy hours with friends,” as well as cooking, cleaning, and spending time with her dogs and horses.

She added that she and McLoughlin have been spending time “just being together quietly.”

The “Bluebird” singer then shared the simple things in life she’s finding comfort in at this time.

“Today I spent most of the day thanking Jesus that the sun was out. The baby chicks are about to move into their new coop and that’s about all the news we have around here for the time being,” she shared.

Despite missing her family, Lambert said she’s relieved it’s possible to still stay connected.

“Sending light and love to all the first responders and health care workers. Stay home. Call home,” she concluded.
