Miranda Lambert and Brendan McLoughlin Cuddle Up at the CMA Awards

Miranda Lambert and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, made a perfect pair at the 2024 CMA Awards.

The couple were all smiles as they walked the red carpet together ahead of the Wednesday, November 20, ceremony, which was held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Lambert, 41, stunned in an off-the-shoulder floor-length black gown while McLoughlin rocked a suit.

While Lambert is not nominated in any categories this year, she has won 14 CMA Awards throughout her career, seven of which were for Female Vocalist of the Year.

Lambert was accompanied by McLoughlin, 33, whom she married in January 2019. Earlier this year, she opened up about their life outside of the spotlight.

The Best Red Carpet Looks at the 2024 CMA Awards

“We’re pretty chill. When we’re off work, I’m in my patio hang vibe,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in her September cover story. “We’ll make drinks and listen to music. Sometimes we’ll have the best parties just by ourselves. He loves what he calls ‘happy hour music’ — Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls. So we have different tastes, but we’ll sit there for hours and listen. Sometimes I say to him, ‘We kind of live on a date,’ which is pretty awesome.”

Lambert also revealed how she and McLoughlin ended up cowriting the song “Dammit Randy” from her latest album, Postcards From Texas. After he suggested “songwriting can’t be that hard,” she put him to the test.

“We made him come to the studio and spend a whole day writing,” she elaborated. “He changed his tune after that. It was more of a fun experiment, but he got a great song out of it.”

Miranda Lambert and Brendan McLoughlin's Relationship Timeline

Whether the two are working together or enjoying quality time at home, Lambert told Us she has learned “so much” about love since being with McLoughlin.

“I guess the thing I’ve learned the most is just that communication is everything,” she explained. “Love doesn’t always cut it. You’ve got to talk about s—. And you have to compromise sometimes and be willing to listen to each other when you have something important to say. Love is hard some days, but the reward is so worth it.”

Although her professional success shows no signs of waning, Lambert has focused on her personal life more in recent years in an effort to attain the best of both worlds.

“I’m lucky,” she told Us. “I reached a lot of my goals early, and then you’re like, ‘What do I chase now?’ It takes a while to figure out the balance of actually living your life so you have something to write about and constantly being on the grind. And I think I finally found that balance pretty good.”
