Miranda Lambert reached "a pretty high level of burnout" in 2023
The 40-year-old singer has revealed that she suffered from burnout last year - even though she didn't realise it at the time
22 August 2024
Miranda told the 'Dumb Blonde' podcast: "I didn't realise what it was until I was like, 'I think this is what they call burnout' - just from not taking a break or a long enough one."
The country music star wrapped up her Las Vegas residency last summer. But Miranda now recognises that she didn't give herself enough of a break.
The 'More Like Her' hitmaker said: "Just a couple of days at a time just wasn't enough for like, the amount of busyness."
Miranda now accepts that she needs to find a better "balance" moving forwards.
She reflected: "I just feel like we have to learn the balance.
"It's really hard when you're so driven to relax into doing nothing. But if you don't recharge, it's like then you're only operating at 50 percent anyway."
Miranda previously claimed that her sudden rise to fame had a detrimental impact on her health.
The country music star - who released her self-titled debut album in 2001 - said in her 'Y'all Eat Yet?' cookbook: "I've had to deal with the ups and downs of [weight and body image] my whole life, and definitely the road makes it harder to find good food and find time to exercise and all of that. It took me a minute to adjust all of that."
Despite this, Miranda feels her fans helped her to overcome her insecurities.
She said: "It was the fans who helped me with that, because girls would come up to me and be like, 'Thanks for just being normal-sized and confident in who you are, no matter what size you are.' And that always saved me for my own self when I would get doubtful or worried about it."
