Miranda Lambert concert chronology

Background

The tour was first announced in May 2014, and began on July 10, with the first leg ending on September 20. Lambert says, "Platinum represents a lifestyle for me. It's the color of my hair, wedding ring, my airstream trailer, so it's just a natural fit for the name of my new album and its why we decided to name the tour Platinum too." [2] A second leg was later added beginning on January 2, 2015 and will end on March 26. The shows in March 2016 are a part of the C2C: Country to Country festival and will be Lambert's first European shows.

Concert synopsis

At the beginning of the show, there is "a montage paying homage to female pioneers", such as Sally Ride. Then on a black screen "a slogan in white text" and in capital letters appears saying, "Well-behaved women rarely make history." Before the show began, "there was a screening of the music video for "Somethin' Bad", her hit song with Carrie Underwood. Lambert starts the show with "Fastest Girl in Town" and closes with "Gunpowder & Lead".[3] During "Famous in a Small Town" the video screen shows "clips of Lambert as a child and as a young country star starting her career."[4]

On March 6, 2015, in Oklahoma City and on March, 7, in Wichita, Kansas, Lambert surprised the audience by bringing her husband, Blake Shelton up on stage to sing "God Gave Me You".[4][5]

Fan interaction

Inspired by Lambert's song and video, "All Kinds of Kinds", Lambert wants to know what "kinds of kinds" the fans are. Concert goers can uploaded photos of themselves online for a chance for their photo to be shown on the big screen during the show.[6]

Critical reception

Nate Chinen of the New York Times says, "She hit her marks, but seemed to be punching from a distance for the third of the show. It was as if she had grown weary of her own ironclad image, or the delivery system around it, or the many forms of upkeep required." "Whatever the case, as she labored, her band smoothly churned, with a balance of muscle and finesse." [3]

The Wichita Eagle's Denise Neil remarked how Lambert thrilled the crowd at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita.[4]

Notes
  1. The October 19, 2015 concert in Calgary at the Scotiabank Saddledome was originally planned to take place on July 9, but was rescheduled due to Lambert's illness.[9]
gollark: You can't, I think, test in a way which could not be faked by a not-good dictator.
gollark: Great!
gollark: The issues of picking an initial dictator, and passing it on to the next person, will run into similar issues to modern democracy: you're optimizing for someone who's convincing and sounds good and not necessarily someone who *is*.
gollark: And you run into the issue of: how do you pass on leadership?
gollark: Even if you start with a dictator who seems good and all, they may stop being good after a while.
