She raised a ton of money for an incredible cause.
Today, Miranda Lambert announced that her “Music for Mutts” benefit event in Round Top, Texas, last week raised more than $1 million in support for her MuttNation Foundation, in order to support its ongoing mission to improve the lives of shelter pets.
Miranda headlined the show, and it included plenty of guest appearances from some of her closest collaborators in Jack Ingram, Jon Randall and Juliana Rankin, with Randy Rogers opening the event.
During the evening, Miranda and her foundation made a donation to the Gardenia E. Janssen Animal Shelter to help them complete their surgical suite, which will allow them to perform spay and neuter on site, and guests also helped fill MuttNation’s iconic Little Red Wagon with donations to further support the shelter and the animals in its care.
Miranda started the organization with her mom, Bev, in 2009, and Miranda says the night “embodied exactly what MuttNation was created to do”:
“This night embodies exactly what MuttNation Foundation was created to do: bring animal lovers together to support communities and help pets in need. None of this would be possible without the incredible people, partners and supporters who believe in our mission and continue to show up for these animals.
Whether it’s donating, volunteering, supporting our events or simply giving a shelter pet a second chance, every bit makes a difference. I’m so grateful to everyone who helped make this night possible and for the impact we can make when we all come together.”
MuttNation Foundation has grown into a nationwide operation for animal welfare, and they’ve helped more than 2,000 shelters and millions of pets through different programs and partnerships over the years.
Fans of her know that Miranda is a massive animal lover, and this is a cause near and dear to her heart, so the fact that she raised so much money for her foundation in one night is just beyond incredible.
She also shared some footage from the event on
“Last week a small group of Texans came together to raise over $1 million for MuttNation. Time and time again, I’ve seen my home state come together when it matters most and I can’t thank y’all enough for stepping up to help shelter pets.”
Miranda also just announced she is dropping an album called Songline on November 13th, along with a companion film of the same name on November 20th, in partnership with Amazon Music.
The album is full of live performances that were recorded on October 1st and feature some of the news songs on her recent album Crisco, as well as old fan favorites. It’s unique in that Miranda was backed by her longtime band, as well as a 12-piece orchestra.
Miranda called the show at new Nashville venue The Truth a night she’ll never forget:
“I don’t think I’ll ever forget that night at The Truth – getting to play these songs with my ride-or-die band and the magic of an orchestra, surrounded by so much love from the fans.
These songs have been the soundtrack of my life, and being able to revisit that night through the ‘Songline’ album and film is really special. I’m excited for everyone who wasn’t there to get to experience a little piece of it, too.”
