Country singer Miranda Lambert, who recently released her fifth album Platinum to rave reviews, is known for speaking her mind. What you might not have known, however, is that she’s a huge Beyonce fan.

“She’s a girl from Houston, and she worked her butt off to get where she is,” Lambert told Rolling Stone magazine. “She’s not just being carted around on her chariot; she’s driving it.”

Miranda also opened up about her relationship with husband and fellow country music star Blake Shelton, their rise to fame and tabloid rumors.

“It was pretty instantaneous,” Lambert told the magazine. “One day we were country singers, and the next we’re on the front of the tabloids. I’m, like, really magical. I’ve been pregnant for two and a half years.”

According to Rolling Stone, Lambert isn’t opposed to throwing down when she gets mad. “People always try to pop off or call her bluff at bars,” her husband told the magazine. “One of them I don’t want to say the guy’s name, but he’s the lead singer of a very popular rock band. His initials are C.K. (Chad Kroeger).”
