Miranda Lambert has been number-one for the past two weeks on CMT’s Top 20 Countdown with the video for her latest hit, “The House That Built Me.” Miranda loves the song, and she very much wanted to make a video that was authentic to her. So she asked her mom to dig out the Lambert family home movies, but the only problem was that with her parents having been private investigators, it took Mom a while to sort out which tapes were Miranda…and which ones were surveillance footage! (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Miranda says she’s so glad to have home movies because they’ve become such precious family keepsakes. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)
• “The House That Built Me” is from Miranda’s ACM Album of the Year winner, Revolution, which also includes the number-one smash, “White Liar.” 
• Look for Miranda in a “7 Questions with…” feature as she talks about cats, lip gloss, fear of stirrup pants, and more in the new issue of Country Weekly, on sale now!

  Miranda Lambert says that her video for “The House That Built Me” is very true to her. (:19)
“It’s almost all me. The only thing is, the little girl in it looks so much like me, so it is hard to tell, but you can really if you…it’s probably, almost all of it is my real home footage. That was real important to me to do ’cause I really wanted it to be true to who I was and show people about the house that built me.”

  Miranda Lambert says that her mom had to do some investigative work just to find her home videos! (:15)
“Mom and Dad were private investigators, so, literally, our home movies were mixed in with surveillance tapes and random people, you know? It’s very interesting, so Mom had to dig through all that stuff and, like, sort it out, and you know, it sure was a lot of work on her, but I think it’s a great reward ’cause the video’s awesome.”

  Miranda Lambert is grateful that her parents made the childhood home movies that, for sentimental reasons, will always be priceless. (:09)
“We had, like, this not-very-good video camera ’cause we didn’t have a lot of money. But thank God they videoed some of that stuff, like when I got my first guitar and stuff, because now it’s priceless.”
