Guns, Horses, and Heritage
The Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA) describes the sport as a blend of horsemanship and marksmanship, where riders race against time through obstacle courses while firing .45 caliber single-action revolvers loaded with blank rounds at balloon targets. Scoring depends on speed and accuracy, with penalties for missed shots or dropped guns.
Rogan couldn’t help but marvel at Lambert’s choice, calling it “very Wild West” and joking that she’s “essentially training how to fight with a gun on a horse.”
For a country star known for her no-nonsense authenticity, it’s a perfect fit. But the reaction from the online left was swift and venomous.
The Woke Mob Can’t Stand It
Lambert’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience was enough to set off a digital firestorm. As one of the most-watched podcasts in the world, Rogan’s show has become a lightning rod for progressive outrage—and now, anyone who appears on it risks guilt by association.
Lambert posted a clip from the interview on Instagram, thanking Rogan for having her on. The response was immediate.
“Wow, this is really disappointing,” one fan wrote. “Especially with your support of the drag and LGBTQ communities, this is pretty unexpected.” Another commenter complained, “Miranda sings All Kinds of Kinds but goes on podcast of man that has built platform against all kinds of kinds.”
The pearl-clutching crowd didn’t hold back, claiming they felt “betrayed” by her decision to appear on Rogan’s show. Once again, the self-proclaimed champions of tolerance showed just how little tolerance they actually have.
A Star Who Refuses to Apologize
Lambert isn’t bowing to the outrage mob. Instead, she’s doing what she’s always done—living life on her own terms.
She told Rogan that picking up the sport gave her a new sense of focus. “It’s just try to like preoccupy my mind and, and I don’t know, I think it inspires me to, like, take a break from thinking about what I think about every single day, which is music industry, you know?” she said. “So, just like trying new things and saying, ‘What the hell, let’s go for it.'”
That fearless attitude has been her calling card from the start. Raised in Lindale, Texas, with a father in law enforcement, Lambert learned early on to stand her ground and never apologize for being who she is.
America’s Cowgirl Spirit Lives On
Lambert has built one of the most decorated careers in country music history—35 Academy of Country Music Awards, more than any other artist. The Chicago Tribune once named her “the greatest country artist of all time,” and in 2024, she took home the Country Icon Award at the People’s Choice Country Awards.
Now, she’s carrying that same fearless energy into a sport that embodies everything the American heartland holds dear: freedom, courage, and grit.
Mounted shooting has exploded in popularity, boasting over 20,000 members across the U.S. Women like Kenda Lenseigne have shattered stereotypes, with Lenseigne becoming the first and only woman to win the Overall Championship at the CMSA World Championships—beating every man in the field.
That’s the kind of empowerment the left claims to celebrate, yet conveniently ignores when it involves guns and self-reliance.
Lambert’s Message Is Simple: Be Yourself
At 41, Lambert is proving it’s never too late to start something new—or to reject Hollywood’s narrow definitions of “acceptable.” Her comfort with firearms isn’t political—it’s personal. With a father and husband who both wore badges, it’s simply part of her life.
While critics rage online, Miranda Lambert is doing what real Americans do—riding horses, shooting targets, and refusing to apologize for it.
In an era when authenticity is rare and outrage is cheap, she’s a reminder that true independence means never asking permission to live freely.
