Lambert continued, “I just kind of knew. It’s not about that. It’s about what I have to say, because I knew I had some really great messages I wanted to share with the world and I wanted that to be through song and not through, you know, a crop top.” The “Drunk” singer said that even as young as she was, “I was really about sticking to my guns — especially in my early years in the business of just wanting it to really be about the music.” Now, Lambert said that she’s “started to enjoy the process of maybe pushing some boundaries” in areas where she previously would have resisted.

The “Mama’s Broken Heart” singer has an exciting month ahead of her as she prepares for the Academy of Country Music Awards, which will take place on May 11 and where she will rule supreme after winning the most ACM Awards ever given to a single artist.
