Miranda Lambert says her anxiety is 'through the roof' amid coronavirus pandemic
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Miranda Lambert has broken her silence about the coronavirus pandemic, stressing it was initially hard for her to put her thoughts into words.
The country crooner, 36, took to Instagram Friday to share a photo of a touching gift she received from her parents this week while she and husband Brendan McLoughlin remain at home in quarantine. The singer's parents mailed the couple bottles of wine, snacks and a handwritten note that reads: "Sending love from home, love mom and dad (be safe)."
"I haven't really known what to say on social media during all this. I'm not great at socials anyway and a time like this makes it much more difficult for me to figure out how to be," she captioned the Instagram post.

"Once I processed it, I actually got a feeling of peace even though, like all of us, my anxiety about the sate (sic) of the world right now is still through the roof," she wrote.

"Today I spent most of the day thanking Jesus that the sun was out. The baby chicks are about to move into their new coop and that's about all the news we have around here for the time being," she shared.
