This week, Miranda Lambert was awarded a Texas Medal of Arts award from the Texas Cultural Trust.
Lambert’s Texas roots run deep, and the superstar has never shied away from her roots and has worked to make her home state proud.
The Texas Medal of Arts award is given to individuals in the state of Texas who have far surpassed excellence in their fields to give back to the state. Only one-hundred and eighteen people have received the award since 2001.
“All of us Texans are extra proud anyway, but the fact that this state really lifts up art and arts of all kinds and has a whole celebration for us and to support us. It’s really such an honor and I don’t take it lightly at all,” Lambert says.
