Yes, she has said so, but it's her own account and the woman can't be identified. On the And the Writer Is... podcast, reported around November 1, 2026, Miranda Lambert described a woman who came up to her in Indianapolis, didn't want a photo, and said: "I did shoot him — and I got off." Lambert said the woman told her the song had given her the courage to act, and that they cried together afterward. Lambert also said the moment changed how she saw the 2007 song, which she wrote with Heather Little, a domestic violence survivor. Coverage of the podcast quotes the same words, so the wording is consistent across outlets, but nobody else has confirmed the encounter. For the full context, see WWBL's report on the podcast. The song itself, a woman waiting with a shotgun for her abusive husband to be released from jail, was reviewed by NPR in 2007 as one of the year's sharpest country revenge songs.
