Miranda Lambert shares new romance on social media: too much too soon?

Country singer Miranda Lambert seems to be continuing the “No, really, I’m doing just great” tour (since her breakup with Blake Shelton) saturating social media with photos alluding to her budding relationship with new beau, Anderson East.

The 32-year-old singer posted a screenshot to her Instagram page of Anderson’s new song “Learning” playing on her cell phone. The photo showed the cover of the compilation album Southern Family (as you may recall, they met during the recording sessions for that album). She used the post to promote “Learning,” written by Anderson as a tribute to his father who supported his son’s dreams of becoming a singer. She captioned the pic with a snippet of the song’s lyrics, “It takes a man to teach a man” and ended with the hashtags #whatasong #whatasinger.

"It takes a man to teach a man"- @andersoneast @raytair Learning is out today! #SouthernFamily #whatasong #whatasinger

Apart from the snuggle post, Anderson hasn’t been quite so outwardly lovey-dovey about Miranda on social media. He did use his Instagram account to promote the release of the album and the first comment was from Miranda, who gushed, “OMG I love you 😍❤️.” Awww…

Social media sharing aside, the couple seems to be making beautiful music together not only figuratively, but possibly literally. A source close to the couple told E! News that, “Anderson is a complete gentleman! Miranda gets butterflies with Anderson. He is a wonderful guy with an amazing personality. Miranda loves his sense of humor and his love for music. They have many things in common.”

So, yeah, they are clicking in the romance department, but what about the music? Miranda most recently posted a pic of herself playing guitar on a patio with the caption, “Weekend well spent. @andersoneast” and added the hashtags, “#writin’ #singin’ #overallsandbeer #pencilandpaper #thecountry #weekendsoff #recharging #tennessee #❤️.” Could she be hinting that a new collaboration is in the works? I’ve just recently started listening to country music, but I think Miranda and Anderson have a better shot at a “couple hit” than Blake and Gwen. Right?

    Part of this screams LOOK BLAKE, I HAVE A NEW BOYFRIEND AND HE’S WAY BETTER THAN YOU!! But whatever, hope she’s happy. Drinking beer in overalls. Not to be a snob, but that would make me cry. Not the beer part. 🍺

    • Erinn says:

      It does kind of seem like that – and hey. I’m not even going to shade her for it. Blake and Gwen have been all over the place, and have gotten so much attention, that I’m not going to side-eye Miranda for this one.

      I haven’t worn overalls as real pants since I was like…8 in the 90s. Other than that, coveralls in the cow and sheep barns… but solely as a protection for my real clothes.

    “It takes a man to teach a man”

    Yeah, FU all you single mothers of sons.

    • Lindsay says:

      It’s lyrics in a song written as a tribute to this man’s father.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        It’s still a stupid line, because it isn’t true. Men can’t learn anything from women?

      • Josefina says:

        @GNAT
        And it doesn’t have to be “true” because it’s a song, not a documentary feature.

      • J-Who says:

        GNAT – Moms can’t teach their sons everything and they can’t teach them how to be a MAN as well as a father can. Don’t make this into a sexist, anti-feminist issue when it’s not. There is truth to the “it takes a man to teach a man” thing. Women weren’t created to do everything a man can do. Boys tend to grow up into more well-adjusted, family men when a man/father figure is in the picture. If boys don’t have that male influence in their lives while growing up, it’s much harder for them to be the same, positive influence in their own adult lives. I know this because I am a single mom with a son and I see this every day. Thank God for my wonderful boyfriend because my son has really latched on to him – and he’s 16!! <3

    • Patricia says:

      Trixie you must love to get offended. Because come ON.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      While there are plenty of single moms who raise fine young men, there are some things a woman cannot teach a boy about being a man just like there are some things a father cannot teach his daughter about being a woman – simply because they don’t know, haven’t experienced it, or can’t relate. That in no way means single moms can’t raise a boy to be a good man. men can learn some things from women but not everything. And some boys need a father more than others – individuality and personality play a role.

      I have a great friend who is a an awesome single mother. Her son is a really great kid and I know he’ll be a good man when he grows up, but even she knows there are some things she can’t help him with in regards to being male in this world, so she got her son involved with “Big Brothers of America.” That’s what they’re for – to teach and mentor boys who don’t have a father.

      Not every family make-up that doesn’t align with your’s is against you or putting you down. Praise for a certain parent is in no way a slam on those who aren’t said certain parent.

  3. Lora says:

    Well blake moved on waaay faster so…

    • kcarp says:

      Kinda what I was thinking. Blake and Gwen are the lamest of the lame when it comes to public romances. Facetiming your bf while the paps watch is probably the most immature ridiculous thing I have ever seen and considering she is in her late 40’s, well that’s just pathetic.

    • Katie says:

      Didn’t even read this and that was my reaction. How could anything she does be too much too soon by comparison?

  4. Locke Lamora says:

    Anything shared on social media is too much. The moment you put somethig out for the public to see it stops being romantic and intimate. Not just celebrities, but everyone.

    • Rice says:

      Amen! I know people who post several times a day. They post anything that pops into their head, ” Never knew that water was wet! ” and rubbish like that.

    • SusanneToo says:

      Same thoughts, here. Keep it private, please.

  5. Don't kill me I'm French says:

    Barely divorced, her ex publicly dated his new divorced colleague

  6. suzysunshine says:

    mirandalamberrt OMG I love you 😍❤️ –that’s not Miranda Lambert’s account. Her last name isn’t spelled with 2 rrs. Thank goodness–it appears she was not the poster.

  7. Shambles says:

    As long as they have a kid and name it South.

  8. Mimz says:

    She’s not doing too much too soon! Let her be. I’d take this over that OTT Gushy Fairytale Bullsh*t that Gwen and Black are shoving down our throats.
    Cannot. stand. it.

  9. Bishg says:

    …Wasn’t it too soon when Blake and Gwen started parading their fake relationship?
    Strangely enough, now that the show is over we don’t see as much of them as before, do we?
    Not a fan of either one of them, just stating the obvious here. Love-display on social media is plain ridiculous to me, I don’t mind the occasional picture with your partner, but if you constantly have to show off him/her and the (supposedly) private moments you share together it means that you are overcompensating.

  10. NewWester says:

    I guess these days if a person does not post on social media( relationship, new baby, fresh califlower, etc) it never happened

  11. Josefina says:

    4 hours after their divorce, Blake was already acting a lot worse than this. Not a fan of social media oversharing, but I can understand why she’d feel the need to tell the world she moved on as well.

    • Luxe says:

      I get why fellow normies on my own social media feed do it after a breakup, but not celebrities. I think if it were me and I just HAD to let the world (and my ex) know I was coupled up and happy and fabulous, I would use my fame to my advantage and arrange pap walks and take my new man to red carpet events instead.

      It has to be done right though – very few pap walks, not Affleck nanny or LeAnn Rimes frequency and not as obvious.

  12. Lucy2 says:

    At least it’s not as desperate as the Blake and Gwen show.

  13. Karen says:

    I dont think a couple of hashtags, a link to his new song, and one photo of them together counts as too much too soon.

    See Blake and Gwen to see what’s too much too soon after a divorce.

    • Lara K says:

      This.

      I actually think she has shown remarkable restraint, given the absolute barf fest of PDAs her ex has been exhibiting.

      Honestly I’m much more likely to support this type of romance (mostly private, kinda sweet) than the sh*t show that is Blake and Gwen. Who frankly cannot go away fast enough.

  14. Lama Bean says:

    I get nothing but fake from Miranda. I’ve been trying to figure out why the sight of her makes me roll my eyes. It’s because of the “I’m a good old country girl sitting around in overall drinking beer. Aw shucks” vibe. I do believe there is a lot of country in her, since she’s from Oklahoma, but I think she way overdoes it.

    • ash says:

      She’s from Texas.

      • Lama Bean says:

        Thanks for the correction.

        Let me fix that.

        Yup, still feel the same way.

  15. Michelle says:

    I feel like this is a double standard. When Blake moved on (months ago) no one said he moved on too fast, yet, as soon as Miranda, a woman does it all of a sudden it is too fast!?!

    How is this okay?

    I personally do not care for country music but I do have a problem with men and women being treated differently for doing the exact same thing

    • Josefina says:

      Both Blake and Gwen got a lot of shit for being the tacky messes they were after their respective divorces.

    • Luxe says:

      This is the only gossip site I come to, but at least here it seemed like most people were definitely side-eyeing Blake and Gwen – including myself.

  16. Mollie says:

    Anderson East is one my favorites and as soon as I found out these two were dating I snatched up 12.00 tickets in a local dive bar coming up. He’s amazing, and now that she’s exposed him to the masses it will be impossible to see him as time goes by. Happy for him, bummed for me!

  17. JenniferJustice says:

    The difference with Blake and Gwen is it is/was a PR driven hype move for The Voice. They are not really a couple. I can’t beleive people fall for this in this day and age. They’re having a ball putting on a show and obviously they really do enjoy eachother and probably needed the companionship even though it was manufactured. My point is – Blake and Gwen are part of a business promotion. Miranda is simply trying to get attention – Blake’s attention. I do not see Gwen on Blake’s social media. I don’t see Blake doing social media period. What I see are pap walks and formulated photo ops. They put themselves out there for others to do the publicity for them. Miranda is putting her own personal stuff on her own personal Twitter and Instagram. Two very different approaches for two very different end goals. One is for ratings while the other is all about ego – IMO.

    I don’t care for Miranda any more. People can say what they want about the supposed rumors that Blake is cheater, but there’s no proof of that other than he got with Miranda when he was still married to his first wife. The only proof of cheating once Blake and Miranda got married is that Miranda cheated – with more than one guy and for a very long time. She drinks like a fish and she’s insecure. With them being apart when she’s touring and he’s filming The Voice, it was just a matter of time because she needs constant reassurance and validation. There’s a lot more in regards to her nature and methodology – she stole music, she harrassed a fellow musician and his wife when he rejected her advances. She is known for going
    bat-sh!t crazy when she doesn’t get her way. It will be interesting to see what happens with her in the future now that Blake and his label arent’ there to protect her from consequences. Blake is thee country music mogul and people didn’t want to mess with that even if they had a legitimate complaint about Miranda. She had better change her ways or she’s going to ruin her career because she can’t hide behind him anymore. I love her music and I think she is one of the most talented women in music, but Girl is cray cray.

    • J-Who says:

      Wow, you must know her personally to be able to put all of that stuff out there about Miranda. So, tell us again, how exactly do YOU KNOW that she cheated multiple times, needs constant reassurance, drinks like a fish and is insecure? Not that I could give two craps about this whole mess but I find it funny when regular people say things like this as if they know all about what’s going on and know them on a personal level like that, LOL

  18. TOPgirl says:

    Crying for attention. I don’ t think Blake has anything to worry about because he has Gwen and Gwen is WAY better for him.

  19. Tredd says:

    Oh, come ON!
    Blake and Botox Stefani have been doing this for weeks!
    Who carezzzzzzzzzzzzz?

  20. Janet says:

    All i have to say is thanks to this relationship I came to know of Anderson East and his amazing music…..such a great voice 🙂

  21. J-Who says:

    Alright, so wait a minute……you’re asking if it’s “too much too soon”? What’s too much? A few pics and some tweeting to her new boyfriend’s account? And how exactly does it scream “Look, Blake, I have a new boyfriend!”? If anything was too much, too soon it’s Blake and Gwen and aaaaallllll those pics and tweets and instagramming and magazine interviews and yada yada yada that simply seemed to say “you’ve been replaced and I’m a huge douchebag”. Miranda has been pretty low key in all of this. I don’t see why she’s expected to be the down-and-out ex-wife.
