Miranda Lambert signs with Republic Records/UMG in a deal with Big Loud, hot on the heels of the release of her latest solo music and an upcoming appearance at Stagecoach Festival.

After wrapping up her twice-extended Velvet Rodeo residency in Las Vegas, Miranda Lambert inks a deal with Republic Records, including support from Nashville-based Big Loud. The deal includes country radio promotion as well as other marketing efforts.

“Music is and always will be the thing that drives me, but having a new home has given me a hunger I didn’t realize I still had inside me,” says Lambert. “I can’t wait to get out there with this new label and this new music — Monte Lipman and his team fire me up!”

The announcement comes in time for the release of Lambert’s first new solo music since 2022, with “Wranglers,” arriving on May 3. And fans worldwide can tune into her highly anticipated appearance at Stagecoach Festival on Saturday, April 27, via the Amazon Music livestream and SiriusXM’s The Highway.

“Miranda Lambert’s legacy as both a consummate storyteller and legendary performer speaks for itself. Her new music is spectacular, and we are thrilled and honored to welcome her to Republic Records in partnership with Big Loud,” says Republic Founder and Chairman, Monte Lipman.

“We’re honored Miranda Lambert has entrusted us with this next chapter of her career,” adds Republic President and Chief Operating Officer, Jim Roppo. “As she puts the final touches on her fantastic new body of work, it has all the hallmarks of her signature sound, yet she continues to push herself as a songwriter, producer, and performer. We’re all at the beginning of a very special moment, and we’re grateful to be on this journey with her.”

Last November, Lambert and Jon Randall announced a strategic partnership with Seth England and Big Loud Records, launching the imprint Big Loud Texas.

“Being in Texas with Jon, recording where I cut my teeth as a young artist, felt like coming home. I thought about the women — and men — who’ve lived, loved, and found power in my music, and I wanted to get back to the root of those spaces,” Lambert explains. “Talking to Monte, Avery Lipman and the team at Republic, as well as Seth and the Big Loud folks who are leaning in, everyone understood my desires and vision for this next era of my music.”

“Aligning like that is empowering; it gives you a license to really chase it. Signing with Republic has inspired me to find the sweet spot for me and all the people like me. I can’t wait for everyone to hear ‘Wranglers,’ and the rest of this record.”

Lambert also recently announced a return to the road, including a three-night stand at New Braunfels, Texas’ Whitewater Amphitheater, as well as concerts across North America. With tour dates running all summer, she is also headlining major festivals, including Rock the Country, Calgary Stampede, Under the Big Sky, and more.
