Miranda Lambert got personal during her Loretta Lynn tribute at the Country Music Awards last week. The 39-year-old performed a medley of great hits at the award show, and despite being the recipient of 14 CMA Awards, Lambert admits she still feels privileged to perform.
Lambert paid tribute to the late music legend Loretta Lynn alongside Carrie Underwood and Reba McIntire this year. She changed outfits from a vintage Mugler dress to denim & leather pants and a two-piece mini skirt combo.
Performing Geraldene Live
Lambert performed her latest single, Geraldene , from her 2022 album Palomino in a pair of black leather and denim two-toned country-inspired outfits. The skintight leather pants had studded denim bell bottoms, while her jacket was a cropped mesh style with fringe sleeves.
The singer wore her blonde hair down with bouncy curls and performed with a tambourine
while singing Geraldene. Lambert’s post about the song on Instagram corrected her colleague and friend, Natalie Hemby, who, like many other fans, spelled “Geraldene” wrong before then.

Creating Memories With Lynn
Speaking to People Mag , Lambert shared her experience with Lynn before her death, saying the country music star influenced her in ways she couldn’t fully express. The Kerosene singer said she spent time with Lynn, who made her feel safe and “at home” despite being intimidated by spending time with her hero.
Lambert said the moment had become a core memory, and she’s thankful to the late singer for sharing that with her. They sang together and shared stories, and Lynn signed her guitar, which Lambert never takes out of her home.
Still Dominating The Country Music Scene
On being in the Country Music conversation 15 years later, Lambert said she’s grateful to her fans and colleagues for keeping her relevant and appreciating her craft. She’s about to start a Vegas residency next Spring, and fans are already excited to share that experience with her.
