Miranda Lambert is one of the more unfussy country stars in the industry, and her girl-next-door charm shone as she performed “Bluebird” during CBS’ ACM Presents: Our Country event on Sunday night (April 5).
Lambert looked quite cozy, sporting a blue bandana as a headband and a distressed flannel shirt. She reflected on getting married to husband Brendan McLoughlin on that very porch and how much being in the Tennessee woods brings her comfort.
“We’re in it together. Thank goodness for technology so that we] can still connect,” Lambert began. “Music is medicine, I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again.” The star let her voice and trusty acoustic guitar do the rest of the talking as she cooed the motivational chorus: “I’ll keep a light on in my soul/ Keep a bluebird in my heart.”
Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain, Little Big Town and Luke Bryan were among the many artists who previously performed during Sunday night’s event. The 2020 ACM Awards, which was one of many events rescheduled due to the ongoing pandemic, will now take place Sept. 16.
Lambert is currently the reigning queen of the awards show, winning the most album, song and female artist of the year trophies. “Bluebird” is featured on Lambert’s 2019 album Wildcard, which topped the Top Country Albums chart upon its debut.
