Blake Shelton's ACM Performance Had A Hidden Connection To Miranda Lambert

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Friday, May 31, 2024

When Blake Shelton hit the stage, he performed a little bit of everything for his fans. That included new hit "Minimum Wage," which is expected to be on his upcoming studio album, Body Language, according to Taste of Country. But before that, Shelton began his performance with his debut hit single "Austin." The song came out in 2001, so it was a real throwback for OG fans of the country singer (via CMT News). 

Some fans may even remember that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert once sang the song together back in 2014 (via YouTube). The two would call it quits just one year later in 2015 after 10 years together (via People). The split was an emotional one, especially for fans who considered the two country royalty. So, it would make sense that some fans would clock the connection between the two with Shelton's ACM performance. 

However, both Shelton and Lambert have happily moved on after their split. Miranda Lambert married N.Y.P.D. officer Brendan McLoughlin in 2019 (via People). And of course, Shelton and Stefani are expected to wed soon. However, they haven't picked a date just yet, but that's because the two want to have a big ceremony, according to Sounds Like Nashville. With current COVID-19 restrictions, that can be a bit hard right now.
