Miranda Lambert is happy for many reasons. The country star and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on Monday, January 26, 2026. Just one day later, Miranda closed a major deal with Sony Music Publishing.
On Tuesday, January 27, 2026, the three time Grammy-winner sold her catalog to Sony Music Publishing Nashville and Domain Capital Group. While the exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, it's believed that Miranda earned quite a lot for the sale.
As the Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston said: "Miranda is real in every sense of the word. Her authenticity sets her apart and has made her a trailblazing songwriter whose voice and songs have shaped modern country music. We are honored to partner with Pete and Domain to champion her incredible songs and continue to support her as she chases her dreams to new heights."

Miranda's humble beginnings
Miranda was born on November 10, 1983 in Longview, Texas to Rick and Bev Lambert. Her early life was a lesson in financial volatility. Her parents were private investigators who lost everything during the Texas oil crash of the mid-1980s. This period of near-homelessness in Lindale, Texas, defined her professional drive.

Her lucrative music career
After releasing her self-titled debut album, Miranda appeared on the singing competition show Nashville Star. She finished third and her career was launched. In 2003, she signed with Epic Records, beginning a partnership with Sony that has spanned over two decades and 10 consecutive Top 10 albums.
At the beginning of her career, she toured with country music legends Keith Urban and George Strait. Miranda's albums Kerosene and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend went platinum and reached number six on the Billboard 200. As of 2026, she holds the record for the most Academy of Country Music Awards in history, a legacy that significantly increased the market of her catalog.
In 2016 alone, Miranda made $18 million through her international touring footprint and her business ventures. However, her current $60 million net worth is driven by the many brands she owns, like Casa Rosa – the first female country artist-owned bar on Nashville's famous Broadway strip.

The singer puts her net worth to use. In 2016, she bought a sprawling 400-acre farm near Primm Springs, roughly an hour's drive south of Nashville, Tennessee for $3.5 million. The massive property features three residences and a private lake. She now lives on the farm with her husband.

By 2026, the foundation has raised over $1 million for animal welfare. Five years later, she launched the Redemption Ranch, a shelter in Oklahoma where she lived with her ex-husband Blake Shelton.
