Miranda Lambertknows that thingsdon’t always go as planned.
Before singing “The House That Built Me” on Thursday night at the Long Island, New York stop on her Bandwagon Tour, Lambert’s guitarist played for a few seconds, stopped abruptly and then started strumming again after a short pause. “Sometimes you gotta start over,” the country star, 34, told the audience.
Lambert went on to deliver a powerful performance of the emotional ballad, and kept it real the rest of the night.
“I’m making my goal every time I walk on this stage to make you feel something before you leave here,” she said to the crowd. “Sometimes in country music, feeling something means feeling sad and I do, so I wrote about it. Sing along if you know it; This one’s called ‘Tin Man.’ “
