Jennifer Lawrence Could Only Listen to 1 Country Music Deep Cut For the Rest of Her Life
Jennifer Lawrence‘s music taste, like many Academy Award-winning actors’, spans several genres and generations of musicians. Lawrence’s love of country musicians is especially strong.
Jennifer Lawrence’s music taste
In January 2022, Jennifer Lawrence stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to talk about her return to acting and much more. In one segment called “Colbert’s Questionert,” the Hunger Games actor had to answer rapid-fire questions.
Colbert asked Lawrence if she had to listen to only one song for the rest of her life, what that song would be. She struggled to come up with an answer.
“Umm…I can’t answer that! How do you answer that?” she said, throwing her hands up in the air.
Jennifer Lawrence loves Miranda Lambert
Lawrence was able to narrow it down to one artist: country music superstar Miranda Lambert. “‘Holding On to You,’ Miranda Lambert,” she concluded. “Holding On to You” is a romantic ballad is featured on Lambert’s 2014 album Platinum.
Platinum was Lambert’s first LP to top the Billboard 200 albums chart. It also included the hits “Automatic,” “Little Red Wagon,” the Little Big Town collab “Smokin’ and Drinkin’,” and the popular duet with Carrie Underwood “Somethin’ Bad.”
Not surprisingly, Platinum was certified platinum with over one million copies sold.
Jennifer Lawrence’s return to acting
Lawrence is currently pregnant and back in the spotlight after taking a step back to focus on herself. After starring in hit movies such as The Hunger Games series and Silver Linings Playbook throughout the 2010s, she slowed down to reevaluate what mattered to her the most.
The actor opened up about that time on a 2020 episode of the Absolutely Not podcast.
“It was kind of one of those things where I, like, I was like, ‘OK, how did I get here?’” Lawrence recalled as she reflected on her career and all the achievements she had earned at such a young age. “I realized that I needed to take some time. I mean, we all [felt] that; everybody needed a break and the public needed a break from me. I needed a break.”
She admitted that she was proud of her career, but she was starting to feel like it was getting the best of her.
“I realized that, you know, once you go into this machine, it just doesn’t stop,” Lawrence said, noting the nonstop nature of a movie star’s career. “It’s like the next big movie, you know, do this, do this, do this. And you’re like, ‘Oh my God. Great, great. What an amazing opportunity.’ And you’re just a part of this machine. And then you’re like, wait a minute. I’ve lost track of the kind of films that I want to make and why I want to make them. And I felt like my career had taken on a life of its own, like a slick, a slick life kind of thing. And I just had to make some changes and I did.”
