Background and show

edit

The tour was announced in September 2017, and the tour name "Livin’ Like Hippies" are lyrics from the track, " Highway Vagabond".[1]

Lambert opens the show with "That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round" and "Kerosene". After singing past hits and album tracks she ends with "Little Red Wagon".[2]

Critical reception

edit

Timothy Finn of The Kansas City Star writes, "Miranda Lambert shows Sprint Center crowd why country music needs more women stars." Also "But Lambert's more effective songs are those in which she is at her most vulnerable, in which she admits to her deficiencies and bares her faults, and she sang several of those."[2]

Maggie Jones of Knoxville News Sentinel described the Knoxville show as Lambert "...showcased sass, vulnerability and most of all, relatability, as she sang about her quirks, flaws and passions, and how she's accepted them."[3]
