Miranda Lambert has had many highlights in her career; one that she hasn't had yet is an Entertainer of the Year award. She hopes to take one home one day, but for now, she's quite happy with where she's at.

Miranda told us, "Entertainer of the Year would be great. One day. I don't care how long it takes, even about 30 more years. It's fun. But I also have a lot more life goals."

She adds, "I just want to enjoy my surroundings and not rush through everything... like when I'm on stage and the whole crowd's swaying. I stop and I soak that moment in. I'm more comfortable just sitting in the moment."

Lambert kicks off her brand new "Wildcard" Tour on January 16 in Tupelo, Mississippi.

In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
