Country star Lauren Alaina shares how Miranda Lambert gave her a reality check about the music industry during an impromptu first meeting.

“Miranda Lambert – I ran into the BMI Awards, in the bathroom. It was my first time meeting her, and she was like, ‘Don’t let this town or anybody change who you are. You’re a sweet Southern girl, and always will be,'” the “Road Less Traveled” singer shared.

Alaina first appeared in the music industry at the age of 15 on the stage of “American Idol.” He was successful in the singing show and reached the final in 2011. He finished second as Scotty McCreery took first.
