Lambert shouts out her bus drivers

Lambert, 36, first sent out prayers for Nashville. She then talked about the many miles she's covered in the past two weeks. The "Tin Man" singer thanked her band and crew for going above and beyond to make it happen.

She added: "Our bus drivers and truck drivers drove all night and day with snow chains on the tires, and through another blizzard night before last to get us to our final show of the run."

Drivers pose for the camera

Of course, the star also showed appreciation for her fans. As for the bus, named Elvira, Lambert said she was "dirty but runnin' good through it all." Followers saw the state of the bus for themselves.

In the photo, five men stood in front of a tall tour bus, which should have been white but, instead, was covered in brown dirt. You could still make out the white horse at the front, however.

Lambert's husbands leaves his job

Lambert's husband, Brendan McLoughlin, is another person who's making her tour a bit easier. The former NYPD officer recently gave up his job to become a bodyguard for his wife.

The pair, who got married last year, will now be able to travel all over without taking a break from each other. A source through Hollywood Life reported that the singer has "no regrets" about it.
