Miranda Lambert says she 'had to sing with someone with a penis' to get another No. 1 song
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Miranda Lambert is opening up about her and Jason Aldean's summer hit "Drowns the Whiskey."
The song, which was released in May and reached No. 1 status three months later, was the country singer's first tune to reach the same accomplishment in four years, according to The Washington Post.
Lambert's last No. 1 hit was her single "Automatic" off of her "Platinum" album in June 2014.

"I do like this person, Jason Aldean, a lot . . . so it was a great song with an old friend," she continued, explaining that "it is interesting that I haven’t had even a Top 20 in a long, long time. And then it goes No. 1 because it’s a dude."

The country superstars are set to perform the single at Wednesday's CMA Awards, where it's up for three awards including single and song of the year.
