MIRANDA LAMBERT / LORETTA LYNN

Pam Tillis is paying quite the compliment to Miranda Lambert. The “Maybe It Was Memphis” singer calls Lambert the modern-day Queen of Country, Loretta Lynn. Tillis, who’s the daughter of country legend Mel Tillis, made the comment during an appearance on the weekly radio show, “Tonkin’ With Tracey Lawrence.” She says Lambert has made her place in history and “paved the way for a new crop of ladies.”
