MIRANDA LAMBERT CROWNS WANDA

NASHVILLE (AP) If you happen to see a vintage trailer topped with a crystal crown rolling down the highway, it belongs to Miranda Lambert and its name is Wanda. Lambert has topped her 1954 Flying Cloud Airstream with a six-foot-wide, three-foot-high crown. She named the trailer Wanda the Wanderer after her grandmother. Lambert is taking the Airstream to seven cities beginning with Los Angeles on May 20 so fans can hear a preview of her new album, “Platinum.” You can track Wanda’s progress and win prizes even if Wanda doesn’t come to your town at http://mirandalambert.com/platinumacrossamerica .
