"Priscilla" is the fifth track on Miranda Lambert's Platinum. The song is about a woman who lives in her husbands spotlight and where Lambert compares herself to Priscilla Presley. It includes the lyrics "He's always in high demand" and "It's a difficult thing being Queen to the King" which is a comparison to Elvis and Priscilla relationship and also a similar comparison to the relationship of Miranda and Blake. When interviewed by The Boot, Miranda said "[It] does it in a fun way, though," she explains. "It happens, and it's happening a lot, lot more to Blake and I than ever before, and I thought it was a really smart take on how it happens, and I definitely don't want people to think I'm comparing us to Priscilla and Elvis in any stretch of the imagination."[1]

Critical reception

The song received many positive reviews; Entertainment Weekly said about Lambert "She's not Priscilla. She's Elvis."
