April 27, 2005 (Nashville, TN) -- Epic Nashville Recording Artist Miranda Lambert will be a special guest at the
prestigious White House Correspondents Dinner on April 30 in Washington, DC. The

politicians and political dignitaries mix. Miranda will be the guest of People
Magazine and will be escorted to the dinner by People’s Executive Editor Peter
Castro. Joining Miranda at the People table will be actress Kristen Chenoweth

“Being able to attend this dinner, visit the White House and dine
with the President of the United States is beyond thrilling,” exclaimed Miranda.
“It’s such a great honor to be a part of Washington history, especially at such
a unique event. I had to postpone a tour date to be able to attend and that’s
not something I do, but to be honest, I’d probably move my own wedding for this
kind of opportunity! I’m so grateful to People Magazine for inviting me to join
them at their table.”
Miranda will be wearing a gown by American designer Carmen Marc Valvo

Danes, Bridget Fonda and Kelly Preston among many others.
