The platform has previously succeeded with documentaries on global stars like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Shania Twain. But investing in Miranda Lambert, a multi-Grammy, CMA, and ACM Award-winning artist, signals the streaming giant’s most ambitious step yet into the heart of Nashville and the country genre.
