In any case, this unfortunate news about Miranda Lambert was shared on the venue's Facebook page on July 7, 2015:
However, when the vocal cords become inflamed, they turn red and swollen.
This is an unfortunate situation for a singer because of their regular voice use and need to use it forcefully. Given vocal use requires the vocal cords to come together and vibrate, with inflamed vocal cords, the pitch deepens and potentially becomes raspy. With continued voice use, it only irritates the vocal cords further worsening the hoarseness and pitch.
In this scenario, the voice is better in the morning and worse by the end of day with voice use.
STRICT VOICE REST is required along with steroids to help resolve the inflammation. Reflux medications are also recommended. If treated early, complete resolution of the vocal cord inflammation can occur within 1-2 weeks.
In "special" situations and depending on how bad the vocal cords are, a large dose of steroids can be administered to help with vocal cord inflammation to allow a singer to "get through" a performance with the caveat being absolute voice rest for a prolonged period of time afterwards. Such typical situations include important auditions or one-time performances (i.e., Christmas Show performance).
