Miranda Lambert performed on CBS' New Year’s Eve LIVE: Nashville’s Big Bash Tuesday night (12/31). Before she took the stage live on TV, Miranda shared a few of her 2024 highlights and what she hopes to do in the new year.

In a video clip posted to her Instagram, the country superstar said, "My favorite work moment of 2024. Writing songs, I got to write a lot of songs and two of my favorite writes were with Lainey Wilson in Texas and Elle Langley."

She added, "My favorite life moment of 2024? Riding horses like any time I can get on the back of a horse, I am happy."

When asked which of her songs best sums up 2024? She plied, "I think 'Living on The Run' sums up 2024. It feels like a really good way to enter 2025. It's like full speed ahead."

And what is she most excited about in 2025? She offered, "2025 hopefully brings a lot of songs, a lot of music, and a lot of life moments. You know, I want to really make sure that I am present, and I recharge the batteries and spend a lot of time with my animals."

Lambert posted a clip of her performance from her bar in Nashville on CBS' New Year’s Eve LIVE: Nashville’s Big Bash, and wrote, "Happy New Year from Nashville y’all!"

Many fans responded to her post with one saying, "Happy New Year, queen! Let’s hang out this year!" Another fan wrote, "Love this one, hope to hear it live in concert soon!"

Lambert recently announced she was adding another animal to Muttnation Foundation's mission. As Miranda tells People magazine, aside from dogs and cats, now Muttnation will be responsible for saving horses.

Miranda shared, "I love people that are as fanatical about rescue as I am, and rescuing horses is such a different animal. I mean, honestly, pardon the pun, but it's such a big deal because these are huge animals who have been through so much trauma. And so it takes so much patience on either side and so much trust on either side. And I think that it's just not an easy feat."

They recently launched the annual Idyllwind Grant, named after Miranda's first horse, through MuttNation. The foundation awarded the first grant to Lucky Break Rescue — a woman-owned and operated nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing at-risk equines — for its continued efforts to save horses.
