The Platinum Tour presented by Crystal Light is the current headlining concert tour by American country music singer Miranda Lambert. The tour is in support of her fifth studio album, Platinum. The first leg of the tour began on July 10, 2014, in Fort Loramie, Ohio and ended on September 20, 2014, in Honolulu with there being thirty dates for that leg. Lambert kicked off the second leg called, the "Certified Platinum Tour" on January 15, 2015, in Evansville, Indiana. This leg will end on July 9, 2015, in Calgary, Alberta.

Background

The tour was first announced in May 2014, and began on July 10, with the first leg ending on September 20. Lambert says, "Platinum represents a lifestyle for me. It's the color of my hair, wedding ring, my airstream trailer, so it's just a natural fit for the name of my new album and its why we decided to name the tour Platinum too." [1] A second leg was later added beginning on January 2, 2015 and will end on March 26.

The shows in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are apart of Jason Aldean's Burn It Down Tour & the show in Chicago is apart of Kenny Chesney's The Big Revival Tour where she will serve as an opening act.

Concert synopsis

At the beginning of the show, there is "a montage paying homage to female pioneers", such as Sally Ride. Then on a black screen "a slogan in white text" and in capital letters appears saying, "Well-behaved women rarely make history." Before the show began, "there was a screening of the music video for "Somethin' Bad", her hit song with Carrie Underwood. Lambert starts the show with "Fastest Girl in Town" and closes with "Gunpowder & Lead". [2] During "Famous in a Small Town" the video screen shows "clips of Lambert as a child and as a young country star starting her career."[3]

On March 6, 2015, in Oklahoma City and on March, 7, in Wichita, Kansas, Lambert surprised the audience by bringing her husband, Blake Shelton up on stage to sing "God Gave Me You".[4][3]

Fan interaction

Inspired by Lambert's song and video, "All Kinds of Kinds", Lambert wants to know what "kinds of kinds" the fans are. Concert goers can uploaded photos of themselves online for a chance for their photo to be shown on the big screen during the show. [5]

Critical reception

Nate Chinen of the New York Times says, "She hit her marks, but seemed to be punching from a distance for the third of the show. It was as if she had grown weary of her own ironclad image, or the delivery system around it, or the many forms of upkeep required." "Whatever the case, as she labored, her band smoothly churned, with a balance of muscle and finesse." [2]

The Wichita Eagle's Denise Neil remarked how Lambert thrilled the crowd at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita.[3]
