Miranda Lambert sang about divorce at the ACM Honors a few evenings ago, just weeks after her divorce from The Voice coach and country music superstar Blake Shelton made news.
The song Miranda Lambert belted out on Tuesday night was Loretta Lynn’s classic, called “Rated X.” She also presented Lynn with the Crystal Milestone Award to mark her 50-year career in country music.
