Miranda Lambert says her anxiety has been ‘through the roof’ during COVID-19 crisis… and reveals she and husband Brendan are ‘just being together quietly’
Miranda Lambert has confessed her anxiety has been ‘through the roof’ amid COVID-19.
The 36-year-old took to social media on Friday to reveal she’s struggled over the past few weeks but is finally feeling a little better with the help of her husband Brendan Mcloughlin, 27.
‘I haven’t really known what to say on social media during all this. I’m not great at socials anyway and a time like this makes it that much more difficult for me to figure out how to be,’ she began the lengthy post.
