Miranda Lambert made a heartbreaking admission on ABC’s “In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: All Access Nashville” back in 2010, sharing there was a time she and her family were homeless and her parents Richard Lambert and Beverly Lambert’s P.I. business went bust and they couldn’t afford their home. “We were homeless. It sounds weird to say it now because we’re so blessed,” she recalled, sharing the harrowing ordeal happened when she was just 6 years old, adding, “The next thing you know, the banker’s coming, saying, ‘I need the keys.'” Thankfully, the Lambert clan’s bartering skills came in handy, as they initially moved in with family, before then asking the landlord of a dilapidated property if they could live in the home if they renovated it. Though the Lamberts managed to make it a home, it sounds like the property wasn’t exactly ideal in the beginning.
“Some of the windows were boarded up, and we never did get central heat. So when you had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you had to run, because it was freezing!” Miranda shared.

She also opened up about that tough time to Redbook the following year, admitting her parents had lost everything. “We fixed [the house] up as the money came little by little, one room at a time. I remember my mom tacked pictures on the walls of what it was going to look like, every little detail,” she shared.
