The country star teams up again with longtime collaborator Trey Fanjoy and digs out her old matchbook from the “Kerosene” video to bring the latest single to life
Miranda Lambert has paired her new breakup anthem 'Wranglers' with a music video that brings the song's lyrics to life.
The visual, directed by longtime collaborator Trey Fanjoy, finds Lambert and pals comforting a friend after a breakup, with the group holding a ritual bonfire of the ex's belongings and proving that, in fact, 'Wranglers need forever to burn.”
The “Wranglers” video is also reminiscent of Lambert's 2005 single “Kerosene,” with the singer using a replica kerosene can and the same matchbook from the video of the song for the “Wranglers” visual. Continuing the trip down memory lane, the video also co-stars Lambert's childhood friend Laci, along with actress Elle Lamont, who previously appeared in Lambert's “If I Was a Cowboy” video. Jessica Stroup and Christopher Backus – as the guy who loses his jeans – round out the cast.
“'Wranglers' is a classic story of a woman taking back her power,” Lambert previously said of her latest single. “I think we can all relate to the character in this video because we've all gone through a time in our lives where we needed to find our strength and also get a little revenge on someone who wronged us or hurt us. This offers such a cool, raging take on how something like this plays out. I'm so proud to sing this song.”
“Wranglers” is expected to be the first single from Lambert's upcoming 10th studio album, her first LP since 2022 Palomino.
Lambert is currently on tour and delivered a special performance at Stagecoach earlier this spring, with the help of special guest Reba McEntire, who performed her own “Fancy” and two of Lambert's songs, including “Gunpowder & Lead”.
