Miranda Lambert is up for five honors, including Entertainer of the Year, at the upcoming ACM Awards — and even as her career has exploded in recent years as one of the top women in country music, with awards, headlining concerts, critical acclaim, magazine covers, TV appearances — you name it — and of course, a growing catalog of hit records like her latest single, “Mama’s Broken Heart,” Miranda feels that in some ways — at least in terms of what she’d like to accomplish — she’s still just getting started. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• In addition to Entertainer of the Year, Miranda’s nominations for the upcoming ACM Awards include Female Vocalist of the Year — an award she’s now won for the past three years in a row — as well as Single Record of the Year and twice for Song of the Year (as artist and as co-writer with Blake Shelton), all for her beautiful number-one single, “Over You.”

  As much as she’s already accomplished in her career, Miranda Lambert says that she never wants to stop challenging herself. (:35)
“You know, I feel like I’m just still scratchin’ the surface, believe it or not. I want to build an empire. I mean, I did an interview about Dolly [Parton], and that’s what I’ve always wanted is to just be an entrepreneur and just keep going and going, and not necessarily physically keep going and going, but I just want to use my music and my career and what I’ve built for greater things and get bigger and bigger and bigger ideas and just always find things that inspire me. You know, like the Pistol Annies, for instance — that project inspires me more as an individual artist, and I think that’s a good thing to just always keep growing.”
