Miranda Lambert has performed "Little Red Wagon" several times at big awards shows, including the
2015 Grammy Awards and, most recently, the 2015 ACM Awards. Fans love it, eagerly singing along, "You can't ride in my little red wagon!" but the big question remains: What does it actually mean? Writers and critics have debated plenty about the "little red wagon"
in the song: Is it a metaphor? Is it a person? Finally, Lambert has cleared things up. "I think it's just about a state of mind. You know, [like], 'I've got this on my own. I've got swagger,'" she tells Glamour. "I think it's just sassy, and it's up for whatever interpretation you have as a person." Through the years, Lambert has certainly shown she's
got swagger, sass and a plethora of talent. Even though there's been a huge lack of females in country music lately, she took home trophies in three major categories at this year's ACM Awards — Song of the Year, for "Automatic;" Album of the Year, for Platinum; and Female Vocalist of the Year — and received one of the 50th Anniversary Milestone Award. "People are asking all the time why aren't there more females [in country music]," Lambert says. "I think there's a lot of great guy artists right now, and they're having their moment, and it will go through phases, but there's room for all of us. "It makes me so proud to have a spot
here and to be waving that flag for the girls," she adds. "There's so many great female artists that have paved this way for me, and there's so many coming along behind us. I just feel excited about where country music is going to go and all the female artists on the way up. I'm so thankful for my job, and I love all of the guys, too." "Little Red Wagon" was actually written and first cut by another singer, Audra Mae, but when Lambert heard it, she immediately fell in love. “When I heard it, I thought, ‘Oh god. This girl is ridiculous,’” she recalls. “So I stalked her down. We’re the same age, and she’s from Oklahoma. I asked her point blank: ‘What’s your plan for "Little Red Wagon"? Can I cut it? Can I even try to be a hair on the a-- of how you did it?’” And the rest is history. See One of Miranda Lambert's Childhood Photos You Think You Know Miranda Lambert? There's just something different about country music royalty. Maybe it's simply the fact of interviewing a star in, say, Dallas, instead of on the red carpet in Los Angeles; or maybe it's the fact that so many of country music's best and brightest have personalities that feel a bit more down-to-earth. In any event, interviewing country music superstar Miranda Lambert is its own kind of thrill—and there's no denying that the business's leading It Girl has become a force to be reckoned with across various genres. Simply put, our favorite Texan has come a long way since her days on Nashville Star. Is Ms. Lambert still the Texas girl she was back in those days? Heck yes. Case in point: When we asked about her stunning gown at this year's ACM Awards, she said she couldn't say who designed it. Considering that knowing what designer you're wearing is often red carpet 101, we took a pause, but Lambert just laughed. "I'm literally too redneck," Miranda whispers. "I can't pronounce it!" (She then dissolved into a fit of laughter.) For the record, the designer is Bibhu Mohapatra, and while we'd consider it perfectly acceptable to be flustered by a tricky pronunciation on the red carpet before you're about to perform in front of 70,000-plus fans (and potentially give seven acceptance speeches), what's really refreshing is that Miranda's just honest. That's the beauty of Miranda. Plucking a question from our Glamour clutch (Ed. note: she actually has the same Edie Parker clutch! That makes us fashion soulmates, right?), she describes what she has in her closet. "Cowboy boots and sequins!" she declares. "I'm from Texas," she adds, matter-of-factly. "I mean, obviously! That's pretty clear, right?" But down to brass tacks. What, exactly, is the little red wagon she sings of in her newest hit single, "Little Red Wagon"? Is it a metaphor? As Taste of Country said, "If Taylor Swift cut Little Red Wagon,' we'd spend hours or days trying to decipher who she was talking about. For Lambert, it's just a feisty punk song set to a country beat." Then there are speculators like the folks at The Cut, who liken the wagon to "the most disconcerting euphemism for a vagina." Sex: Just A Little Drugs: None Violence: None Language: Just A Little Miranda Lambert's "Little Red Wagon" is a song about not letting someone else ride your coattails, or so says songwriter Audra Mae. The girl in the song has confidence and attitude and doesn't need this guy who is
apparently hitting on her. "No you can't step to this backyard swagger. You know it ain't my fault when I'm walkin' jaws droppin' like ... ooh." The sassy song kind of combines country with a school-age pop chant - and Lambert drops one s-bomb later in the song. Some have speculated or wondered if there are other hidden meanings or metaphors behind "you can't ride in my little red wagon," but neither Lambert or Audra Mae have yet to affirm anything along those lines. In the video Lambert pulls up to a desert motel, and makes the jaws drop in her little red outfit. Everybody there will remember her visit, as she leaves wearing a belt that says "Mrs. Shelton."
