At the ACM’s Girls’ Night Out: Superstar Women of Country event on April 22, 2011, Blake Shelton took a moment to show his deep admiration for Miranda Lambert in a way that only he could. The special event celebrated some of country music’s most influential female artists, including Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, and Martina McBride, but Shelton’s tribute to Lambert truly stood out.
As Lambert’s turn came, Shelton took the stage, humor and warmth in tow, to introduce his fiancée. With heartfelt sincerity, he shared, “She has captured the hearts of millions of Americans, and I’m proud to say that I’m one of them.” His words were genuine, adding a special touch to the evening.
In front of a captivated audience, Shelton began singing Famous in a Small Town, his voice rich with emotion. Throughout the performance, his eyes never left Lambert, who, visibly moved, fought back tears. Her pride and love for him were clear, and his delivery made this tribute one of the evening’s most touching moments.
When the song ended, Lambert smiled, relieved that Shelton had stuck to the original lyrics rather than adding his usual playful twists. With a laugh, she lovingly admitted that, above all, he was her biggest fan. It was a beautiful, personal moment shared between two stars, and one that made the night even more unforgettable.
