NASHVILLE, Tennessee—Blake Shelton, her husband, isn’t the only person Miranda Lambert is texting these days—she’s also been chatting it up with breakthrough singer Meghan Trainor.

The country star will perform with the “All About That Bass” singer at the Country Music Awards.

“I’ve not met Meghan, but we’ve been texting back and forth,” Lambert said in an interview on Monday in Nashville, where the CMAs will be held (today, Manila time). “We’ve listened to ‘All About That Bass’ probably about a thousand times this summer on the tour, so I already know it, obviously.”

“Bass” is spending its eighth week on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The doo-wop pop song has sold more than 3 million tracks so far.

“It’s a song about positive body image and kind of rocking what you got, and I am all about that,” Lambert, 30, said about “Bass.” She is the lead nominee at the CMAs with nine, and says she and Trainor will make a “great match.” AP
