Now that Miranda Lambert has swept the major country music awards for album of the year, she faces a daunting prospect: Topping “Revolution.”

“I’ll probably be panicked the night before my new record comes out because I love ‘Revolution’ still and I can’t even imagine starting on a new record,” Lambert said in an interview earlier this month.

“But I know I’ve got to and I know that I don’t need to compare myself to myself. I’ve just got to keep doing what I do and moving forward. But, yes, I’m so freakin’ nervous.”

Lambert’s last album, released in September 2009, went platinum, spawned two No. 1 hits and helped her win three awards at the CMAs last week and three more at the Academy of Country Music Awards last April. The good times will continue for Lambert on Dec. 1 when she performs during the hourlong CBS television special when Grammy nominations are announced.

And her tour with Eric Church and Josh Kelley continues into the new year.

It’s on her tour bus with Church and Kelley, brother of Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley, where she’s slowly been gathering the songs that might be candidates for her next album. She said the guitar came out the first weekend they were on tour together and so far she’s written four songs with Church and three with Church and Kelley.

“It’s kind of crazy,” she said. “I guess when you have three writers and musicians on a tour together, some music is going to be made somewhere. It’s a blast.”

Church, whose 2009 album “Carolina” drew plenty of attention, is excited about the songs that have come out of those sessions.

“We’re a lot alike,” he said of Lambert. “She’s kind of the female version of me. We grew up listening to the same kind of music and we write great songs together. We do a lot of that, as much as we can on the road. … Hopefully the songs will turn up on each other’s records.”

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton have kept relatively mum on their wedding date, but it looks like one tabloid may have let the cat out of the bag.

According to Nashville.com, Lambert was a little peeved when a publication announced that the country crooners will be getting hitched on May 11, 2011. However, the news source explains that Shelton told a North Carolina radio station that he was in hot water when he made a boo-boo and asked his bride-to-be if that were true.

“That didn’t go over too well ’cause apparently it’s a big deal to not know when your wedding day is,” he said on the radio show.

To add fuel to the fire, the chart topper admitted that he still is a little unsure. “I took off the week she said to take off. It’s in there somewhere,” he added.

Let’s hope Miranda wasn’t listening! Blake just put a ring on her finger this past May, and considering most brides take a year to plan their wedding, we think this rumor may carry some weight.

Miranda Lambert’s coronation at the Country Music Association Awards came with the most authentic endorsement you can get in Music City: Loretta Lynn.

“Nobody in country music is more country than Miranda,” the icon said.

Lambert won three CMA awards Wednesday night, including the coveted album of the year, celebrating her 27th birthday by leading a sea change in country music that also included two wins for her fiance, Blake Shelton, and entertainer of the year for long-suffering Brad Paisley.

The blond Texas firebrand whose breakthrough album “Revolution” was just that joined Lynn on stage with Sheryl Crow for a rendition of “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

Lambert received her female vocalist of the year trophy from Lynn, who is celebrating her 50th year as a singer.

“I hope it’s the beginning,” Lambert said. “I hope that I’m here 40 years from now, handing out an award like Loretta did.”

Lambert also won video of the year for “The House That Built Me,” which also won song of the year for songwriters Tom Douglas and Allan Shamblin.

It’s a song that Lambert almost missed out on. It originally was pitched to Shelton, but when Lambert heard it, she immediately broke down because it seemed to perfectly describe her hard-luck childhood.

She asked Shelton if she could have the song instead. It went on to become her second No. 1 hit and helped her earn nine CMA nominations, a record for a woman and the second most in CMA history.

Miranda Lambert walked away with the top three prizes at the 44th annual CMA Awards on Nov. 10, which also happened to be her 27th birthday

Lambert, who was nominated a record-breaking nine times, won Video of the Year for her touching clip for ‘The House that Built Me,’ Album of the Year for her critically-acclaimed ‘Revolution,’ and Female Vocalist of the Year.

And you might say the bride-to-be also got an early wedding gift from the Country Music Association, when fiance Blake Shelton won both Male Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year for his duet with Trace Adkins, ‘Hillbilly Bone,’ thus ensuring matching his-and-her’s trophies.

Lambert and Shelton are the first couple to win vocalist honors in the same year since Faith Hill and Tim McGraw in 2000.

It was also a historic night for Brad Paisley, who earned his first CMA Entertainer of the Year win after six straight nominations. The musician also co-hosted the show for the third time with Carrie Underwood, earning lots of laughs throughout the evening, as the two poked fun of peers, current events and adulterous athletes.
