Country singer, Miranda Lambert, whose latest single, “Vice” has shot up the country – and pop – charts, let her emotions get the best of her at a concert at the at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois on Friday. During a performance of the song “Over You”, fans saw the 32-year-old singer crying and basically getting “verklempt” while she was singing. She ended up having the audience fill in for her on part of the song, as one fan posted to Twitter.

The song was a collaboration between Miranda Lambert and her ex, Blake Shelton. They wrote the song for Blake’s older brother, who passed away when Blake was a teenager. A contributor to Chicago Now reported that Miranda was emotional and “low key” throughout the show, blaming her mood on “that time of the month.” Oh honey, I can so relate. The singer also cried while performing âThe House That Built Me.â A concert attendee told Us Weekly, âShe was amazing. But emotionally unstable. Crying the whole show.â
I feel bad for Miranda. She has kept her personal life low-key, and is still seeing fellow country crooner Anderson East. Prior to her show on Friday, Miranda spoke with a Chicago area radio station about her new single and working with Anderson on new music. She told the station that working with him “made it more fun and it made it bearable,” adding that “there’s no better way to bond with someone than to write about it.” You can listen to the quick interview below:
Is is just me, or did Miranda sound kind of melancholy during that call? She does seem happy with her new relationship with Anderson, if her social media is any indication. She recently posted a pic smooching him on Instagram with the caption, “Happy Birthday to my favorite ‘Bama’ boy! @andersoneast â¤ď¸.”
It’s got to be hard to see your ex all over the tabloids looking happy with a new lady, but I don’t think Miranda did too shabby. I like her new song, and I like that she tries to keep things on the DL. During the radio interview, she said she didn’t play Pokemon GO and didn’t use Snapchat because “It’s terrifying.” She also won me over when asked about her fashion sense, confessing, “I love a good Target tee.” Who doesn’t really? I’m wearing my ‘Living La Vida Broka” shirt I got there as I write this. Breakups hurt (I know all too well), but she’s doing her best to move on. Maybe she should just alter her set list for a little while?

she is such a good songwriter
I’m not a huge country music fan but I do prefer her up tempo stuff to her ballads. The lyrics to her songs are beautiful but her voice is not that strong.
She’s a really great performer live as well. I’m not a country music person, but my husband is. I saw her when she opened for George strait in San Antonio…she has a really good energy on stage, interacts with the crowd, and I think her voice actually sounds better in person than on the radio.
I’m not even a country music fan, but I have been buying her music for years. I love her songs and I love her voice.
Someone said an audience member was facetiming her boyfriend or husband in the military so he could watch her perform and Amanda realized that and was kind of performing to that guy and that’s what made her cry when she was singing the song.
If she was lowkey, maybe she was missing her boyfriend or they had had a spat before she went on. She seems to be crazy about him.
I don’t think either of them are over each other. She’s still melancholy and he’s still angry. Just dating other people doesn’t guarantee they’ve truly moved on.
Good point!
I don’t know her or her music, but her ex seems like a dickhead. Moving onwards and upwards lady!
You’d have to know them both personally to know what or who went wrong. He doesn’t come across as a dick head to me. I think they both made mistakes they couldn’t take back but both regretted.
I bet Blake Shelton’s ex wife did some crying when Miranda and Blake became a couple js
Social media portrayals of a relationship have nothing to do with the reality of the relationship. There are so many examples but here’s the latest one from my real life:
A woman I’m friends with on social media but haven’t seen in person in a number of years began a new relationship. I’m all happy for her because she’s been through some sh*t but this looks to be the best relationship ever. He’s loving, he’s sweet, they are happy all the time, all according to her (and his!) posts.
Then a mutual friend crashes with her for a month, getting on his feet. He quickly finds out that they fight on the daily, get drunk and hit each other, and are basically living in angry chaos. But they still manage to take cute snapshots and portray this whole fantasy of a perfect relationship on social media. I was shocked!
So yeah, it’s just one of many stories like this. I don’t ever believe people are happy just because their social media says so. Anyone else have this kind of story? I mean, I HOPE Miranda is happy. But there’s no way to tell from her posts.
I have so many stories like this one.
We blame celebrities for the games they play with the tabloids and for trying to manipulate through them but with social media every person in the world has a platform to do the exact thing, you don’t have to be a celebrity to do it.
I know a girl that went on 3 dates with a guy six months ago and she has been posting about him ever since. You would thing they are actually in a relationship.
I think shes heartbroken. Separations/divorce can be so difficult. I went through it once and went off the rails for about 2 years. It took so long to get past. It’s hard being not being with someone you loved..I cant imagine doing it in the public spotlight.
I wasn’t the biggest fan of her last album but Four the Record is one of my favorites. Her songs can be emotional and sweet and so perfectly country. I’m also going through a divorce and I have momens where I just cry and cry for no real reason other than growing pains. I can’t imagine if I knew what my ex was up to AND had to sing sad songs.
I feel for her. Even if she wanted the divorce (which I don’t know if she did) it can’t be easy to watch your ex move on in such a public way.
Didn’t she cheat on Blake multiple times? I sort of remember some country awards show (when they first got engaged) where he was gushing over her and she did not seem nearly as smitten. It was awkward. Then again, he was also promoting a song at the time with the lyrics ‘My oh my, you’re so good-looking. Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends. But I’ve not tasted all your cooking. Who are you when I’m not looking?’. Sounds more accusing than sweet.
That’s ridiculous. FFS.
The rest of the song is obviously not accusing. The rest of the lyrics:
Do you pour a little something on the rocks? Slide down the hallway in your socks?
When you undress, do you leave a path? Then sink to your nose in a bubble bath?
My oh my, you’re so good-looking Hold yourself together like a pair of bookends
But I’ve not tasted all your cooking Who are you when I’m not looking?
I wanna know
Do you break things when you get mad? Eat a box of chocolates ’cause you’re feelin’ bad?
Do you paint your toes ’cause you bite your nails? Call up momma when all else fails?
Who are you when I’m not around? When the door is locked and the shades are down?
Do you listen to your music quietly? And when it feels just right, are you thinkin’ of me?
I wanna know
My oh my, you’re so good-looking But who are you when I’m not looking?
I mean, The House that Built Me will never NOT make me cry. I’m crying just thinking about it sheesh.
Both Over You and House that Built Me destroy me almost every single time I hear them. I can’t blame her. Especially if it IS her time of the month :'(
She informed an audience of several thousand that she was menstruating? Pure class, this one.
