Country music superstar Miranda Lambert released her emotional ballad "Bathroom Sink" in 2014 as part of her album Platinum.

As the song progresses, we see flashbacks of a younger Lambert struggling with her appearance, trying on different clothes and hairstyles in front of the bathroom mirror. These moments are intercut with scenes of her in present day, still trying to find confidence and acceptance in herself. The video ends with Lambert standing in front of the bathroom sink, now stripped of all the bottles and makeup, as she sings the powerful lyrics "It's amazing the amount of rejection that I see in my reflection." It's a poignant reminder that even the most successful and beautiful women have insecurities and moments of self-doubt. "Bathroom Sink" by Miranda Lambert
