Two of the hottest artists in country music these days have to be the wife and hubby couple of Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. And while Miranda’s career has skyrocketed, she tells us that with Blake as one of the star coaches on the hit series, The Voice, his visibility from the show has made it tough for them to go out unnoticed, even among people who aren’t necessarily listening to country music.

  Miranda Lambert says that she and Blake Shelton get recognized a lot more these days. (:47)
“I understand now why, you know, sometimes people that get largely famous and…sort of become a little bit weird. It’s not because…you get trapped in your own world, just a little bit, you know, and I’m lucky I’m in country, so it’s not as bad, but some of these big stars, you can’t walk down the street. You can’t. And I’ve learned that with even Blake, you know, with the last time we were in New York City. We couldn’t even walk five feet, and that’s New York City, and that’s not a country mecca. Now that’s he’s this big network television star, things have changed, and you know, we are exactly the same people we always were. We are, like, so down to earth and do not care about ‘the scene’ or havin’ this certain famous image, but then there’s this part that you are a star and that’s how people perceive you, so you have to always carry yourself that way.”
