George Strait and Miranda Lambert’s Magical ACM Awards Duet Is “The Definition of Country Music”

Although a top name in country music, Miranda Lambert once dreamed about standing on stage in front of a sea of fans. Besides just dreaming, the singer moved to make that dream a reality when she appeared on the show Nashville Star. While gaining praise, she ended her time on the show, coming in third place. But again, not letting it stop her, Lambert eventually landed in the spotlight. And her dreams couldn’t compare to reality when she received the chance to perform at the ACM Awards alongside country legend George Strait.

When it comes to hit songs, there are few who compare to Strait. Throughout his career, the singer released songs like “I Cross My Heart”, “Check Yes or No”, and “Amarillo by Morning.” With so many hit songs, the country singer holds the record for most No. 1 songs on all charts by an artist. And that achievement is across all genres of music. Again, carving out his own space in country music, Strait and Lambert appeared to make history when they performed “Run.”

Receiving millions of views since making its way online, fans showered both Strait and Lambert with praise, labeling them the “most magical duo” of all time.

“George Strait is the definition of country music,” one fan wrote. Another added, “My two favorite artists singing my favorite song?!?! Doesn’t get any better than that!”

George Strait Helped Miranda Lambert When It Came To Her Father

Outside of sharing the stage together, Lambert once discussed how Strait helped her get over an argument with her father Rick Lambert. “When I was on tour with George, I was 22 and my dad was on the road with us. And I had gotten a tattoo, and it ruffled my dad’s feathers pretty good, and he was really, really mad. We rode the same bus together on the Strait tour, and so I had to wear long sleeves for two weeks and he wouldn’t talk to me.”

With word about the argument getting to Strait, the singer had a wonderful idea that featured the entire crew wearing temporary tattoos for a group photo. Following through with his idea, Lambert recalled, “When we took our group picture, everyone that was in the photo, which was like 60 people, rolled up their sleeve and they all had a tattoo exactly where my tattoo was, even my dad. So I have to thank George for helping me get back to talking to my father again after I got my horrid, hideous tattoo. So thanks George, for mending our relationship.”
