Saddle Up

Get ready, OKC: Miranda Lambert’s “Certified Platinum Tour” is coming to the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

On March 6th, Lambert will perform hits from “Platinum,” this year’s Grammy Award winning Album of the Year. Special guests include Justin Moore, Sunny Sweeney, and Jukebox Mafia. Lambert’s roots dig into our own Oklahoma soil via her country star husband, Blake Shelton, who is native to Ada, Oklahoma. Miranda herself owns The Ladysmith, a boutique bed and breakfast, in Tishomingo where the couple resides. With over thirty stops on her Certified Platinum Tour, OKC is proud to be one of them.
