Like so many artists, summertime is a big tour time for Miranda Lambert, and while she’s busy on the road, she always knows that when it’s time to relax and get away from the pressures of traveling and career, there’ll be someone special at home, waiting just for her…well, actually, quite a few “someones.” “I go to my animals,” she says, “The farm is awesome. It’s just such a great place to go home to.” And the added bonus for Miranda is that the animals don’t care about what she does for a living, “they just know there’s a lady with the treats.” (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Miranda moved up another notch in the country Top 10 this week with her big hit, “Gunpowder & Lead.” It’s the second smash, along with “Famous in a Small Town,” from her crazy-good, Gold album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

  Miranda Lambert always finds a great escape on her farm. (:13)
“The farm is awesome. It’s just such a great place to go home to, you know? I go to Texas, too; still I have the house in Texas, but you know, I go to my animals, and they don’t care about Miranda Lambert at all. They don’t even know…they just know there’s a lady with the treats.”
