Us Weekly Exclusive: Blake Shelton: How Miranda Lambert Saved Me

Blake Shelton and Miranda LambertIn a recent interview with US Weekly magazine, Blake Shelton opens up and tells the magazine how Miranda helped him ‘tame his once wild ways.’

According to the article, “I was a single male country singer raising hell, going out after concerts to bars and drinking and doing whatever I wanted,” The Voice mentor recalls. “And why the hell not? I wouldn’t take it back, either.”

Later in the article, Blake says, “I grew tried of going out drinking until 7 a.m. and then waking up at noon and eating pizza,” Shelton tells Us.

“Now if I want to go drinking, I only want to sit at the house with Miranda watching Snapped on TV at home. It’s crazy because even if I’m just out on her bus while she’s on the road or watching her do her shows, I’m 100 percent comfortable because she is there. She really is that rock for me and the center of all of this.”
