I have sat back and watched y'all bash my idol for months now and I don't normally do this, but I've decided I wanted to get my word out there.  I know I will probably get some hate for this, but I don't care, it needs to be said. I don't even know where to begin because there has been hate comin from every angle. Whether it's about Miranda's weight, her new album, whether she will leave Blake, meet & greet "problems," and quite frankly I am so sick and tired of seein all this. I have been a RanFan possibly longer than many of y'all have been alive.

How could ya hate on someone whom not only every night is up on stage puttin on a show for ya, away from her family and friends, but on her days off she is helpin with dogs and animal shelters all over ?! Currently, she is workin on reconstructin the no-kill animal shelter in her home town of Tishomingo, "Redemption Ranch." This shelter will be the home to over sixty dogs/cats, that are currently bein held at the Humane Society in Tulsa. In 2012, Super Storm Sandy hit my state and brought tons of damage. About four months after the super storm, Miranda came and played a show in New Jersey and durin her meet & greet a fan brought up a shelter for domestic animals that were up for adoption, but it also housed exotics and zoo animals that were either abused, neglected or on death’s row, called Popcorn Park Zoo. Popcorn Park Zoo offers these animals a loving retreat to live out the rest of their lives. After Super Storm Sandy, many dogs and cats were brought in and the shelter was in need of help. Without second thoughts, Miranda offered to send funds though her foundation MuttNation. They dontated $5000 with the note that they hope to send many more funds in the future and that one day, Miranda and her mom would love to visit. Miranda has done this for many shelters across the US, not only this one. How could ya call this selfless ?! Miranda has nothin but a heart for everythin and everyone.

Many of ya out there are claimin to be fans of Miranda, but would real fans really bash her for her every move or change ?! Just because Miranda changed on the outside, doesn't mean she changed on the inside. She is so happy and confident now and all she is gettin is hate because she changed. People say she decided to lose weight because Crystal Light is sponsorin her, but that is not true at all. Miranda decided to get healthier way before Crystal Light came along. She decided to get healthier for herself and no one else. So before the healthier Miranda, she was gettin hate because she was bigger and now the healthier Miranda is gettin hate because she doesn't stand for what she always said. Miranda only lost one pant size since her health kick, but when she loses, she loses all over, and it looks like a big difference. "Like I have always said, it’s not about a scale, it’s about how you feel and how your jeans fit. I am proud to be a normal size girl and I want to encourage everyone to be confident at any size." If Miranda feels confident and is happy now with where she is, then let her be, don't go around bashin her and sayin she changed all because of her weight and whom is sponsorin her. She's always worn makeup for her shows. She's up in front of thousands of people each night, of course she's gonna wear makeup. She has people takin pictures of her on the daily and she's up on stage, so if wearin makeup for that reason makes her feel better, than let her be. 

People are sayin that Blake is lookin like he is gettin bigger now and that Miranda would leave him ?! That makes me laugh because I just saw Blake and to me he looks better. And even because of weight, they would never leave one another for that reason. Their love is based off of true love and what's on the inside, not what one looks like on the outside. They are the cutest couple out there and always and I mean ALWAYS talk so highly of one another and ya can tell how much happier they are when they are together. If ya don't see this, then ya must be love blind because they shine when they are together or talk about one another.

Another thing I see people hatin on is Platinum. Just because it is different than her previous albums, doesn't mean it's a bad album. Miranda is 30 now, happily married, and in love. She's not goin to sing songs about killin guys and burnin houses down, when her life has changed. She's goin to sing about happy things and things that make her happy. She feels like this album reflects whom she is. Just because this Miranda isn't the Miranda ya have known in the past, if ya were a real fan, ya would grow up with her. Don't get me wrong, Miranda will never stand a man beatin up on a woman, but she just doesn't have to always sing about that. And if she wants to make a happy album for once, then so be it, let her. 

I recently saw Miranda on the Platinum Tour and let me tell ya, she rocked the stage. She had so much confidence in her every move. She rocked her new songs and had so much fun up their on stage, but when it got to the more serious songs like "Over You" and "The House That Built Me" she stood up their on stage on the verge of tears. She for sure put me in tears durin those songs and I'm sure I ain't the only one.

Every time I have met Miranda she has been as sweet as can be. Everyone has bad days, but just because Miranda says "lets just take a normal picture" after ya had her pose for many different pictures, doesn't mean ya should go out and bash her. If ya were a real fan, ya would respect her wishes and just take a normal picture and be happy and feel fortunate ya got that opportunity. Ya get one picture and one thing signed for a meet & greet, and usually if a group of y'all get meet & greets together, Miranda will do individuals with all of ya and then a group one, don't ask for more. Be fortunate, grateful, and lucky you're in that position because believe me, many people would want to be in your shoes.

Miranda would hate to see the way her fans treated one another, she wants nothin but love spread throughout. Love Miranda, for Miranda. Love one another, for one another. So all I ask, as a RanFan myself, is to stop all the hate and bashin, towards not only Miranda, but all other RanFans. We are all part of this for one thing and that is to love and support Miranda ! Not put down Miranda and fans down for the way they are. We are "All Kinds of Kinds."

With all of this said, Miranda is still the same Miranda. She just has a different shell, a different exterior. But on the inside, she is still the fun lovin, grateful person standin up there on that stage every night. She is grateful for every single one of us and if ya were a real fan, ya would stop with the bashin and be happy for her, like she is for herself. She is an amazin person and saved so many people and she doesn't even know it. Hate on me all ya want, but I had to put my thoughts out there, like many of y'all that bashed her in the past few months.
