Happy birthday to the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend of country music, Miranda Lambert! Let’s celebrate this Scorpio’s special day with a zodiac playlist of some of her best songs!
Don’t forget to check your moon and rising sign as well as your sun sign. You can check your birth chart here.
Aries – Kerosene
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Steve Earle.
There are a couple of reasons why I paired this song with everyone’s favorite cardinal firecracker. Aries kicks off the zodiac cycle, and one could argue that this song kicked off Miranda Lambert’s career. The feisty little fan will love this song about figuratively setting fire to a toxic relationship… at least I hope she meant it figuratively.
Taurus – Mama, I’m Alright
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Travis Howard.
Taureans are notoriously one of the biggest mom-friends in the entire zodiac. Because of this, they tend to worry about their loved ones. So, I think they will appreciate a song where the singer reassures her mother that she is doing okay and capable of following her dreams.
Gemini – Bluebird
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby.
When you really listen to the lyrics, you realize just how perfect this song is for Gemini. In the song, Miranda calls herself a “rhymer” and says she has a wildcard up her sleeve. These words will speak to the mutable poet of the zodiac.
Cancer – Greyhound Bound For Nowhere
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Rick Lambert.
The moon children are known to be particularly sensitive and sentimental. And I have always found this particular tune to be one the most emotional and heartbreaking songs in her whole catalog. Cancerians will enjoy a good cathartic cry while listening to it.
Leo – Famous in a Small Town
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Travis Howard.
Leo’s are natural-born performers! So naturally, I had to pair the theatrical fire sign with a song about small-town suburbanites trying to claim a bit of notoriety. Plus, the song is just really fun to dance to while you’re listening.
Virgo – Mama’s Broken Heart
Written by Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally, Kacey Musgraves. Performed by Miranda Lambert.
Virgos are known to be quite practical. So this song about a girl receiving, and ultimately ignoring, the pragmatic advice of her mother after a heartbreak will surely resonate with the mutable earth sign.
Libra – Settling Down
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby.
Venus-ruled Libras are known to be excellent lovers. But they are also known to be ambivalent and indecisive. So this song with lyrics like “one heart goin’ in both directions” and “am I settlin’ up or settlin’ down” will speak to the air sign on so many different levels.
Scorpio – I Wanna Die
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Scott Wray.
Scorpios are known to be one of the sexiest and most flirtatious signs in the zodiac. Naturally, I had to pair them up with one of Lambert’s most sensual songs. It also has a bit of broody charm that the water sign will just love.
Important note: The title of this song is meant to be a lascivious metaphor for romance, and not a declaration of self-harm. If you or anyone you know are struggling with thoughts of self-harm please contact the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
Sagittarius – New Strings
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert.
Miranda Lambert has three Sagittarius placements in her chart, so it’s no wonder why she loves to sing about traveling so much. The mutable fire sign will love the lyrics “I bet this road will take me out of here” and “you said I wouldn’t get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart.”
Capricorn – House That Built Me
Written by Tom Douglas and Allen Shambling. Performed by Miranda Lambert.
I have often likened Capricorn’s strength to solid foundations that you could build a life and a home upon. That is why I paired them with this sweet and charming song about a person reflecting on the memories of their childhood home.
Aquarius – Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)
Written and Performed by Elle King. Co-written by Martin Johnson and co-performed by Miranda Lambert.
Aquarians often get labeled as outsiders. But not many people realized that they have a rebellious party side to them. They enjoy a good night of revelry, which is why they will love this song about partying it up all night with a group of close friends whom they’d just met.
Pisces – Carousel
Written and performed by Miranda Lambert. Co-written by Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby.
The sweet mutable water signs love fantasy and a bit of escapism. They are also quite emotional and sentimental. That is why I paired them with this lovely, wistful song about the whirlwind romance of two circus performers.
Ophiuchus- Whataya Want From Me
Written by Max Martin, Pink, and Karl Schuster. Performed by Adam Lambert.
Ophiuchus is not a real sign, so they don’t get a real Miranda Lambert song. Instead, they get paired with an Adam Lambert song. And no, they are not related.
