SMP Nashville and Domain also secure go-forward publishing deal with Lambert, extending SMP’s longstanding partnership with the country superstar
Sony Music Publishing Nashville and Domain Capital Group have partnered to acquire the catalog of critically acclaimed, award-winning songwriter, artist, entertainer, producer and entrepreneur Miranda Lambert. The deal encompasses her complete back catalog of songs.
Alongside this news, SMP Nashville and Domain have signed a go-forward publishing deal with Lambert covering future works, extending SMP’s longstanding partnership with the country superstar, which originally began in 2003.
A multi-dimensional talent and one of the most decorated artists in country music history, Miranda Lambert is renowned for her influence as a songwriter and storyteller. Her catalog encompasses No. 1 hits including “White Liar,” “Bluebird,” “Over You,” and “Heart Like Mine,” as well as No. 1 country albums including Platinum, The Weight of These Wings, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Kerosene. She has also achieved acclaim for songs she has penned for other artists including Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know,” Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” and Ashley Monroe’s “I’m Good At Leavin’,” plus Luke Combs’s “Outrunnin’ Your Memory” and Lainey Wilson’s “Good Horses,” both of which also showcase Lambert as a featured artist.
Her current GRAMMY-nominated single, “A Song To Sing” which she co-wrote and sings on with Chris Stapleton, arrived as the biggest streaming debut of her career, while her additional co-written collaboration “Trailblazer” with Reba McEntire and Lainey Wilson is also up for a GRAMMY this year. Her tenth solo studio album, the GRAMMY nominated Postcards from Texas, continued her streak of ten consecutive Top 10s on the Top Country Albums chart.
Lambert’s critically acclaimed catalog of music will also serve as the inspiration for a forthcoming project being developed by Sony Pictures Television for Hulu.
Managing Director, Domain Capital Group Pete Chiappetta said, “Miranda Lambert’s many awards and accolades are a testament to her ability to create impactful songs and her catalog is full of them. We are excited to be able to partner with her as well as Rusty and the incredible team at Sony Music Publishing and see what Miranda does next. This catalog is a meaningful addition to Domain’s country music portfolio and reflects our continued focus on investing in timeless songs and the writers who create them.”
Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston said, “Miranda is real in every sense of the word. Her authenticity sets her apart and has made her a trailblazing songwriter whose voice and songs have shaped modern country music. We are honored to partner with Pete and Domain to champion her incredible songs and continue to support her as she chases her dreams to new heights.”
Across her career, Lambert has achieved seven No. 1 solo albums, 10 No.1 radio singles, and 25Billboard Hot 100 hits, solidifying her status as one of the most successful and influential artists in country music. A TIME100 honoree as one of the world’s most influential people, she holds the record as the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, including its highest honor, Entertainer of the Year. Her accolades also include three GRAMMY Awards, 14 Country Music Association Awards, and numerous RIAA certifications. A National Cowgirl Hall of Fame member, she will also be inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame this February.
Beyond her outstanding success as a songwriter and artist, Lambert has established herself as a dynamic entrepreneur. She and longtime collaborator Jon Randall are co-founders of their own label imprint, Big Loud Texas, launched in 2023 in partnership with Big Loud Records. She is also a New York Times bestselling author, the first female restaurateur on Lower Broadway with her Tex-Mex cantina Casa Rosa, and the creator of the Wanda June Home collection and Idyllwind, her western clothing, accessories and footwear brand. Additionally, Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation has raised over $11 million since its inception to promote adoption, support shelters nationwide and assist with animal rescue efforts during natural disasters.
Miranda Lambert was represented in the transaction by Greenberg Traurig, LLP, and Domain Capital Group was represented by Sheppard Mullin.
