Miranda Lambert Will Feel Right at Home During Australian Trek

Miranda Lambert will embark on her first tour of Australia next month as the special guest of Alan Jackson, who is also marking his first time Down Under. The pair will play a total of four shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane beginning March 4. The fiery songstress is a bit apprehensive about performing over there, but feels once the audience sees her live, she will fit right in with them.

"I'm really excited about Australia," Miranda tells The Boot. "I'm a little bit scared, I don't know why, just because I don't know how the crowds are going to be to me. But I heard they like rowdy women, so I've got that covered. [laughs] And I've heard Australians are a lot like Texans, so hopefully, I'll feel at home. I'm really excited to go."

Some of the terms she may want to learn before heading over to Australia are "Schooner," which means a large beer glass in Queensland, but a medium beer glass in South Australia; a "Tinny" may either mean a can of beer or a small aluminum boat; a "Pot" means a 285 ml of beer, not something you cook in; Hello is "G'day," while goodbye is "Hooroo."

As far as Alan goes, he was scheduled to go to Australia last year, but scheduling conflicts cropped up, and the tour was not able to take place, much to the disappointment of his fans. This year, he is looking forward to the trek, mainly because of everything he has heard about the country from his fellow country stars. "I've always heard that it's just beautiful down there," Alan says. 'Everyone I know that's been has loved it. [They] said the people down there are really nice and welcome people from the U.S. so generously. I know I've got a lot of fans down there and I know they like my kind of music -- so I think it'll be a fun trip!"

Following her dates in Australia, Miranda will then launch her own headlining trek. Her Revolution Continues tour, featuring Justin Moore and Josh Kelley, will kick off February 24 in St. Louis Mo., and is currently scheduled to wrap April 16 in Melbourne, Fla.
