We’re talking about the #1 location when it comes to the city that’s housing the most homes of the stars Los Angeles. Recent social media posts by Lambert have alluded to prior songs in her catalog of a similar ilk, including 2007's "Gunpowder & Lead" and 2011's "Mama's Broken Heart." As of November 2023, she's been announced as having moved from her 18-year home at Sony Nashville to becoming a Republic Records-signed artist and Big Loud Texas imprint co-founder alongside frequent collaborator and singer-songwriter Jon Randall. The hardest-rocking version ever of Reba’s “Fancy” was sandwiched between duet versions of “Mama’s Broken Heart” and “Gunpowder & Lead,” before the fireworks lever got pushed a second and final time. How potent it would be to get a co-headlining tour between these two, capped by an extended, explosive moment like the one this show ended with? Surely this space won’t be the first or last time where that idea gets floated.

I thought if I could touch this place or feel itThis brokenness inside me might start healing.Out here it's like I'm someone else,I thought that maybe I could find myselfIf I could just come in I swear I'll leave.Won't take nothing but a memoryFrom the house that built me. “The House That Built Me” went on to sit at the number one position on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, receive a Platinum certification, and win the Best Female Country Vocal Performance Grammy Award in 2011. Safe to say, this song not only moved Lambert but country music fans everywhere. The Lambert family eventually moved into a rental home and started rebuilding their lives as well as the home itself.

Did You Write The Song, Or Did The Song Write You?
According to the songwriters, the inspiration behind the song came from a conversation between Allen Shamblin and his wife. They were discussing the fact that they had to sell their house and how emotionally attached they had become to it. Shamblin suggested that Douglas write a song about the topic, and “The House That Built Me” was born. The Christian rapper talks about where his trip to Haiti and his history of addiction fit into his songs.

Some of the rooms didn't have windows and everything needed fixing or replacing from floor to ceiling. For those of you looking to invest your money in a more regimented celebrity house tour LA, look no further than Starline Tours. They are perhaps one of the most well-known of the handful of celebrity bus tour Los Angeles options. At about $60 per person, it’s a bit pricey given the lack of customization that you get (they take you to the homes they want to, you don’t get to choose) but if you have no transportation of your own, it’s a nice experience! Hollywood Homes tours of celebrities have become a huge industry with many copycat buses poping up.
Miranda Lambert Surprised Fans By Bringing A Country Icon On Stage During Her Stagecoach Set
Still, they're likely about to make a big real estate profit when they sell their Mediterranean mansion in Hollywood Hills for almost $28 million more than they paid for it, per Dirt. They listed the nearly century-old nine-bedroom home for $35 million in October of 2021, and if it sells, it'll be record-setting for the Hills (via The Los Angeles Times). Unlike some other nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods, homes in the Hollywood Hills don't usually sell quite so high. The only ones that have done so within the past few years were an abode featured on "Selling Sunset" and another mansion in the famed Bird Streets. The buyer got quite the deal on the stunning home, which features an eye-catching black façade as well as touches from Teigen's own Southeast Asian culture (via Architectural Digest). With those additions, which include wood ceilings made in Thailand as well as an upscale boho color scheme, Teigen and Legend renovated the entire property that dates back more than 50 years.
In 2008, she co-founded CountryMusicIsLove, eventually selling it to a major record label in 2015. Following the rebranding of the website to Sounds Like Nashville, Black served as Editor-in-Chief for two and a half years. Currently, she assumes the role of Editor-in-Chief at Country Now and oversees Country Now’s content and digital footprint. Her extensive experience also encompasses her previous role as a Country Music Expert Writer for Answers.com and her work being featured on Forbes.com. The lyrics also ring true to the details of Lambert’s life growing up in the house that built her.

“Up those stairs in that little back bedroom/ Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar/ And I bet you didn’t know under that live oak/ My favorite dog is buried in the yard,” she sings. During multiple interviews, Lambert has detailed how the standout song represented a time in her and her family’s lives that was incredibly difficult. Lambert’s own mother and father can’t believe their daughter didn’t write the song herself because of how accurately it describes what they all went through. I thought if I could touch this place or feel itThis brokenness inside me might start healing.Out here it's like I'm someone else,I thought that maybe I could find myself.If I could walk around I swear I'll leave.Won't take nothing but a memoryFrom the house that built me. Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazine.Plans were drawn, concrete poured,And nail by nail and board by boardDaddy gave life to mama's dream.
One of rock's top photographers talks about artistry in photography, raising funds for a documentary, and enjoying a County Fair with Tom Waits. "It's such a sad story, but it's really such a happy story because it really just built our family back and it made us stronger than ever," Miranda said. And the little room at the top of the stairs is, in fact, where Miranda did her homework and learned how to play guitar.
Through its more than 7,000 square feet with direct beachfront access, it features nine bedrooms, several terraces for California sunshine, and a two-bedroom guesthouse if those nine bedrooms aren't enough (via Velvet Ropes). The home also has a pool, a lush backyard leading to the beach, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a massage room. Unlike the many celebrities who constantly trade off homes, Sharon Stone has lived in the same Beverly Hills mansion for nearly three decades. Stone gave the entire property a revamp in 2018, giving the home's elegant style a modern makeover, according to Architectural Digest.
The song itself has a similar history—- being torn apart and put back together with care. “The House That Built Me” was written by Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin and the tune went through seven years of rewrites before it was finally fixed up to become the Texan’s hit song. "We were so convinced we had a classic, we'd get together for years and think, 'What is wrong with it? Why isn't it resonating?'" Douglas says. Eventually, they realized they were trying to put too much story in the original version. Including the crucial addition of the line, "If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave — I won't take nothing but a memory."
They had originally bought it from Sylvester Stallone's first wife for more than $6 million. Still, after being there for a few years, they began to custom build a home in Nashville which they planned to move into following the sale of their Beverly Hills abode. With tour dates running throughout July, August and September, Lambert is also headlining festivals including Rock the Country, Calgary Stampede, Under the Big Sky and more. "Signing with Republic has inspired me to find the sweet spot for me and all the people like me. I can't wait for everyone to hear 'Wranglers' and the rest of this record." The three-time Grammy-winning, seven-time Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year and five-time Academy of Country Music Album of the Year winner's 41st year on Earth finds her in greater control of her artistic and creative direction than ever. He could have been mistaken for a true country traditionalist if not for his habit of inserting the F-word into literally every sentence, or close to it, between numbers.
Mad Men actor John Hamm is also one of the many rich and famous to snatch up a deluxe crib in the neighborhood. Hollywood Hills is tough to map because so many surrounding cities have limits that extend up into the hills, but us locals refer to “The Hollywood Hills” as anything north of Sunset Boulevard, from West Hollywood to Los Feliz. Bel Air is one of the more popular neighborhoods located on the Westside of Los Angeles in the foothills the Santa Monica Mountains. It measures just 6.371 miles in square mileage but packs quite a punch in terms of financial demographics. Home to the infamous zip code, the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the incredible Mulholland Drive. Although the abode was beautiful, it didn't garner the nearly $15 million that McGraw and Hill initially asked for when they listed the plush pad in 2008, which was five years after they moved in (via Variety).
Here's hoping that they perform together or at least consider taking this show on the road for a co-headlining tour. That Big Loud Records would be involved somehow in Lambert’s career was already established. Last fall she and her frequent collaborator Jon Randall announced a partnership with Big Loud to launch a new imprint, BIg Loud Texas, through which the two singer-songwriters will directly sign and develop talent. “The House That Built Me” tells the story of someone returning to the home that they grew up in. Taking a chance and knocking on the door of the home, the narrator asks to come inside for a chance to re-live the memories of her childhood with hopes of finding herself again.
