Miranda Lambert opened up onstage about rough split with Blake Shelton

Remember when Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were the darling married couple of country music, and everyone thought their relationship was hotter than “Kerosene” about to be lit up? The couple never really talked about their 2015 split after 10 years together (four of which they were married). But one of them is now.On the same weekend that Shelton shared the Grammy stage with his bae Gwen Stefani for a live performance of “Nobody But You,” Lambert was taking to the stages in Nashville during her current Wildcard tour. It was there that she opened up to the packed crowd about what the city has meant to her over the years, and in particular during the years she and Shelton were bringing their marriage to an end.

"I spent a lot of time [in Nashville] on highs and lows… I went through a really hard time in my life,” the 36-year-old Grammy nominee said, noting that she moved to the country music city “in the middle of a s**t show… But I was lifted up by people who were like, ‘We got you, girl'."Although Lambert didn’t explicitly name her ex, she moved to Nashville in 2015 just as things were coming to an end with Shelton. At the time there were plenty of infidelity rumours (especially as Shelton and Stefani grew closer on The Voice), but neither camp has ever really revealed why the conscious uncoupling happened.[video_embed id='-1']Here’s why Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton aren’t married yet[/video_embed]“I feel like Nashville is somewhere where you can go if you need to be a dreamer and not be judged about it,” Lambert continued, revealing how much the place helped with her healing process. Of course, finding love with her new husband, NYPD officer Brendan McLoughlin, whom Lambert first met on the set of Good Morning America and surprise-married in February of last year, is pretty helpful, too.

1 year ❤️. I’m so happy to walk through this life with you. Thank you Brendan for making me the proudest wife and stepmom. You are the reason for all my new smile lines.I love you. #MrsMcLoughlin pic.twitter.com/54zGiBPKHP

“It's really good to be genuinely happy. You almost don't realize that you're not until you get there and you're like, ‘Man, I didn't know that there was a level of comfort and happiness out there that existed like that,’” she said.And here the 20,000 or so concert-goers in attendance were probably just expecting a performance of “Dark Bars,” the song that was inspired by Lambert’s split from Shelton. Whether Lambert meant to open up that much or not remains to be seen, as she continues her world tour in Salt Lake City this weekend. Meanwhile, Canadian fans can catch her when she hits up the North in April and May.[video_embed id='1881174']Pam Anderson secretly weds Jon Peters[/video_embed]
