The latest issue of W magazine features not only a glamorous photoshoot with Miranda Lambert, but also a fairly in-depth interview in which the country starlet talked about everything from the future of country music to the trials and tribulations of headlining a tour.
When asked about her opinion on the future of country music, Lambert looked no further than crossover star Taylor Swift.
"Taylor Swift is a pop singer, but she really helped country music. When she hit, I was thinking, 'Thank God Taylor's out there to show people we're not cheesy.' Some people still think that country music is twangy and cheesy, and they pigeonhole us. If her fans are watching for her, they might like me too."
Lambert also spoke about what it's like to headline her own tour.
"It's tough for a girl to be a headliner in country music. I put on my own eyeliner. A woman's work is never done."
