Miranda Lambert<\/a>\u00a0still has a big one on her bucket list: Smoke weed with Willie Nelson<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lambert was a guest on Taste of Country Nights<\/em><\/a>\u00a0recently, and\u00a0she named\u00a0the “On the Road Again” legend as one of her favorite artists of all time.<\/p>\n So naturally, we had to ask: Has\u00a0Miranda ever smoked with Willie?<\/p>\n “No, I never got to smoke weed with Willie,” Lambert explains, but: “I want to \u2014 I mean, I would.”<\/p>\n You hear that, Willie? The future Country Music Hall of Famer<\/a> would like to hang out with you one time and fire one up! Let’s make it happen.<\/p>\n It almost<\/em> happened when Lambert played at Nelson’s 90th birthday party<\/a>\u00a0in April of 2023, but she said she didn’t get to\u00a0greet him that day. However, the party and performance were “awesome.”<\/p>\n She likely won’t get to light up with Nelson \u2014 the celebrity face of weed has pretty much given up smoking marijuana<\/a> because\u00a0it was affecting his lungs \u2014 so they’ll have to gummy instead.<\/p>\n Lambert has been thriving on her new record label, Big Loud<\/a>,\u00a0which she made the jump to back in April of 2024.<\/p>\n Since then, she has released her album\u00a0Postcards From Texas\u00a0<\/em>and has joined labelmate Morgan Wallen on his I’m The Problem <\/em>Tour<\/a>, which is ongoing through\u00a0Sept. 13.<\/p>\n You can’t talk about 2000s country music without spending time on these 25 women. Each is a trailblazer with an original voice and perspective.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Of all of the side hustles country artists could partake in, opening a bar or restaurant is the most fitting \u2014 and very common. After all, many of these stars got their start on a barstool, tip jar nearby, playing their music for anyone who would listen.<\/p>\n These places feel like home for many of these singers. Over the years, several artists have gotten into the bar or restaurant game, and for a select few, brands have turned into franchises with several locations and\/or concepts \u2014 we’re looking at you, Jimmy Buffett!<\/p>\n Let’s take a look at the country star food and entertainment venues that have opened over the years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Jess<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n25 Most Important Country Women of the Last 25 Years<\/h2>\n
