Pistol Annies “Got My Name Changed Back”

Miranda Lambert has always been at her best when she’s salty and spiteful, so it’s hardly a shock that she shines very bright on a bitter divorce song like this. She sings about the formalities of going back to her maiden name with a dark sort of glee – clearly very excited about moving on, but also quite aggrieved that she’s had to move on from anything at all. But still, if there’s even a trace of love in this song, I can’t discern it. This is a song for someone who’s truly come to despise someone they used to want to spend their life with, and while it’s all very fun, it’s a mean sort of fun meant to blunt out the pain.
