Miranda Lambert was a fan of Willie Nelson long before they collaborated throughout their respective careers in country music. Now, the “Tin Man” artist reveals the No. 1 thing that she wants to experience with the legendary cowboy.

During a recent appearance on Taste of Country Nights, Miranda, 41, explained that she has yet to smoke weed with Willie, 92, but would “want to.”

“I mean, I would,” the Grammy-winning artist continued.

The country icons collaborated in 2013 when Miranda hopped on Willie’s album “To All The Girls …” for their song "She Was No Good For Me.”

One decade later, Miranda was one of the many renowned artists who performed at Willie’s 90th birthday concert at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on April 29 and April 30, 2023, singing his smash hit "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.”

The “House That Built Me” vocalist reflected on why "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” is a song she has held near and dear to her heart, although the single was released five years before she was born.

“Man, what a story that is. I feel like it is one of those songs that I hear it differently every time I hear it — still, to me. It’s just, it’s such a message,” Miranda told Texas Monthly in January. “And I actually sang it this weekend at Whitewater Amphitheater, where we were playing, and I did it with Calder Allen and Wade Bowen. And just seeing the crowd and what that song — like, the way that song hits people, seeing the crowd just sway their arms and sing it so loud. Because cowboys have this reputation, because they don’t stick around long . . .”

During the interview, Miranda listened to the smash country tune and later gushed, “It makes me want to be a cowboy, real bad. In my next life.”
