Photo Credit: David McClisterMiranda Lambert is often seen rocking high-fashion looks on magazine covers and red carpets, but you won’t find her putting on a fashion show for her upcoming Platinum tour. Miranda works hard to keep the focus on her music.

She explains, “I try to really focus on the music and the covers we pick and the video content and really it being about the band and the crowd more than the outfits I could possibly change into.”

Just picking out one outfit for a show is enough of a challenge for Miranda.

She admits. “I think I would just absolutely lose my mind if I had wardrobe changes during the show. Yeah, maybe a tank top change just from sweating or something, but that’s probably the extent of it.”

Miranda’s Platinum tour hits the road next month with special guests Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett.

Big Machine RecordsFather’s Day is this weekend, and many of country’s top stars will be celebrating the holiday with their kids, including Tim McGraw. He and wife, Faith Hill, have three daughters together, and Tim admits they’ve played a big role in helping him calm down over the years.

“I think either I’m getting mellower with age or they’re teaching me patience,” Tim says. “One or the other. I’m not sure which one it is. Probably a combination of both.”

Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LeVox feels he’s learned a lot from his daughters, too.

He says, “They are truly the greatest gifts that I ever could’ve imagined being a part of. I’m so blessed to be their father, and they’re just a wonderful part of my life, and the biggest part of my life.”

For Dierks Bentley, being a father to his three young kids has made him realize just how much he needs his wife, Cassidy, to rein in the madness. Last week, Cassidy asked Dierks if he was OK to watch their two daughters and baby boy, Knox, while she ran some errands.

He replied, “With three? No, I’m not. Like, there’s no —  physically impossible. It’s not safe. No! You can’t go anywhere!”

Dierks adds,”It definitely requires all hands on deck.”

Though parenting three kids has pushed Dierks to new levels of exhaustion, he loves being around the little ones as much as possible.

“They’re so fun to be around,” Dierks explains. “They kinda provide energy in a weird way. Whatever they don’t, alcohol makes up for the rest.”

Randy Houser‘s son, West, is showing signs of budding musical talent just like his dad.

“He can sing his ABC’s on pitch,” Randy says. “I’m like, ‘Woah!’ It looks like he’s gonna be a singer.”

West is talking up a storm, too, though Randy admits they can only understand about half of what the little one says.

Randy adds, “He’s just growing. Turned into a boy. He’s still my baby, though.”

Speaking of babies, Lady Antebellum‘s Dave Haywood and his wife, Kelli, are expecting their first child this fall. He’s been getting lots of parenting advice from band mate Hillary Scott, who welcomed her first child last year. In the end, Dave knows he’s just going to have to dive in and go to work when the baby comes.

He tells ABC News Radio, “I’m reading a couple books, so I’m doing the best I can. I know there’s no way to really prepare, so we’re going to go into it with good attitudes and a happy, excited spirit.”

Speaking of the anthem, Josh says, “It was inspired by an actual event where our country was attacked, prevailed and our flag was still waving in the aftermath. It outlines what our flag stands for and why that’s so important. It is always an honor to sing it.”

MCA NashvilleKip Moore has a big celebrity crush on Shania Twain. In fact, her “Any Man of Mine” video is his favorite of all time.

Kip tells CMT.com, “That’s when I discovered that we were meant to be together. She just doesn’t know it yet.”

Kip and Shania are on the same record label, so there’s a good chance he might get to meet her one day. Unfortunately for Kip, Shania tied the knot with her husband, Fred, in 2011.

ABC/Chris HolloAfter 14 months and 86 concerts all over the globe, Taylor Swift‘s RED tour has finally come to an end. Her fans aren’t quite ready to let go, however, using the hashtag #LongLiveREDTour on Twitter to express their sadness about the fact that it’ll be a while before they get to see their idol rock the stage again.  That’s why Taylor’s taken to Instagram with a message designed to make them feel better.

Taylor wrote, “Just so you know….” and posted a photo of a piece of paper with this quote by author C.S. Lewis: “There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”

This is, we assume, a reference to the fact that Taylor will now have time to finish up her new album, which she said is “already my favorite thing that I’ve ever created.”  It’s due at the end of the year, and a slew of TV and magazine appearances will likely precede and follow its release, so cheer up, Swifties:  it won’t be long before you’ll have wall-to-wall Taylor in your life once again.
