Miranda Lambert has found happiness after spending the last year working on her music.

Lambert posted a screengrab of her new single, "Vice," reaching No. 1 on iTunes, and alongside the picture she wrote an emotional caption about the highs and lows of the past year. "The last year of my life has been one of heartache and healing, ... Of learning to be honest .... Accepting the flaws and celebrating the smiles. Finding peace in dark places ... having some moments alone with me. Facing fears and feelings... All of them," she wrote, alluding to her split from Blake Shelton.

"I got to know my guitars...became friends with a pencil and paper ... Used melodies to lead me places I had never been.... Made music with my friends. Because music is medicine," she continued. "This means the world to me. Thank you for joining me on this journey. #vice."

Fittingly, the lyrics to "Vice" also deal with heartbreak and facing her demons, but while the song expresses the gamut of emotions she has been feeling, Lambert has also found plenty of sunshine with boyfriend Anderson East. "Miranda adores Anderson. They understand each other," a source recently shared with E! News. "Anderson has given Miranda this confidence she hasn't felt in some time. They are very supportive with each other and their careers."

So supportive, in fact, that they have performed together in concert! The country singers took the stage together at Chris Stapleton's concert at the Greek Theatre in California in April, and fans just couldn't get enough of what was about to unfold. "When she came out, the crowd went nuts," an eyewitness told E! News at the time.

East opted to perform a raspy rendition of the Temptations classic, "My Girl" alongside the concert's headliner while Lambert sang backup vocals alongside Stapleton's wife, singer Morgane Stapleton. Lambert didn't stay too long, though, as fans spotted her scurrying off the stage so she didn't "take the attention off Chris and Anderson."

Cute!
