Miranda: Thank You George Strait!
Miranda Lambert says her father forgave her for getting her first tattoo because of George Strait. She told Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton that it all happened five years ago, when she was opening shows for George Strait: “I had gotten my first tattoo of guns and wings because Kerosene had just gone Gold. My dad was on tour with us selling my merchadise. I called my dad and told them what I had done, and it was big time family drama. Like, “How could you do this to your self?” Any dad would feel that way. Anyway, we went in to take our end-of-tour photos with all of our band and George’s band, and George sent out for 75 stick-on tattoos. So we took our regular picture, then George rolled up his sleeve, and everybody else rolled up their sleeve, and they all had stick-on tattoos where mine was, and he smiled and we took a picture of that (see picture). The fact that he cared about this tiny artist meant the world to me. George Strait is the reason my dad forgave me! Thank you George!”
