Miranda Lambert has won more awards than her ex
While her ex Blake Shelton became more aligned with Hollywood, country superstar Miranda Lambert stayed true to her country music roots. Lambert has won more Academy of Country Music Awards than any other artist. Nominated for multiple Grammy awards, Lambert has won two Grammys for her work. Over the past 15 years, Lambert has won over mainstream music fans with her solo work and as part of the Pistol Annies group.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lambert's net worth is over $60 million, less than her ex-husband, but still a pretty significant number. The award-winning singer released seven albums, and most of the songs on her albums were written or co-written by Lambert (via Us Weekly). Also, she has released three albums with Pistol Annies.
Outside of her music, Lambert launched a lifestyle brand Idyllwind in 2020. According to the brand's website, Idyllwind is "built for the everyday girl who is also a badass! A brand based on loving who you are — being who you are — being comfortable in your skin — and celebrating that at whatever age or size." Her new brand of clothing, accessory, and boots is not included in the latest net worth estimate, so that means Lambert may be catching up to Shelton before long.
