It may have been a few years since country superstars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert got divorced, but things are still obviously tense.
Miranda even reportedly threw shade in the most savage of ways towards her ex recently: by not clapping at his CMA performance.

Uh oh. Looks like there’s still some bad blood between exes Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton!
After Shelton’s recent performance at the 2019 Country Music Association Awards, everyone stood up to clap for him… except for Miranda and her new husband, Brendan McLoughlin.
Awkwardddd.
Once upon a time, Miranda and Blake were a match made in country heaven.
The country superstars had first been drawn to each other when Blake was still married to his first wife, Kaynette Gern.
After Blake divorced Gern, he began dating Lambert in 2006. Then by 2010, they were hitched.
While things were bliss for a while, their blossoming careers soon got in the way.
Conflicting schedules left them little time to spend with each other, ultimately leading to their split in 2015.
From there, things were anything but amicable as rumors circulated about both partners being unfaithful during their marriage.
In a recent interview, Miranda admitted that going through their messy public divorce was “frustrating.”
“When everyone’s worried about your personal life, it makes you feel like, ‘Well, if you could just spend some of that time talking about my actual art, that would be great!’” she told Health .
“But I guess I asked for it, getting into this business. I’m never gonna get used to the public eye in that way.”
Part of going through their divorce in the “public eye” meant that the world sometimes witnessed their public jabs at each other.
Like the time Miranda changed the lyrics to one of her songs RIGHT in front of Blake!
This drama took place back in April when the singer was on stage at the ACMs, performing her single, “Little Red Wagon.”
While the lyric originally said: “and I live in Oklahoma,” which is where Miranda and Blake used to live, she changed it to this:
“And I got the hell out of Oklahoma.”
Uhhh… awkward!
The internet couldn’t handle all the shade.
BTW, the irony is not lost on the fact that the first time Miranda and Blake sang together, it was the song, “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma.”
Well, it appears that the shade continues!
When Shelton performed his single at this year’s CMA’s, his performance was met with a standing ovation from the audience… all except for Miranda and her new husband.
“Everyone stood up for Blake at the end of his performance except Miranda Lambert and her husband,” an eyewitness told “Us Weekly.”
“At the commercial break, they both left their seats,” they said .
That same night, Miranda’s performance didn’t get a huge response from her ex-husband either.
He and his girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, who had attended the event together, were shown nodding their heads politely as Lambert performed her new single, “It All Comes Out in the Wash.”
The good news, at least, is that both Blake and Miranda are in happy, committed relationships.
As we all know, Blake went on to fall in love with his The Voice co-judge, Gwen Stefani, and Miranda is now even married again!
She shocked the world when she announced that she had secretly wed her NYPD boyfriend after knowing him for only three months!
“I feel like I’ve been through enough in my life to know what I don’t want,’ she said.
“So when I know what I do want, I snatch it right up.”
What do you think of Miranda not clapping to Blake’s CMA’s performance?
