Miranda Lambert sings about being ‘unhappy’ with ex-husband Blake Shelton as he’s sat in front at ACM awards

Blake fans also believe the new song he performed is a snub to his ex-wife

MIRANDA Lambert gave an emotional performance at the ACM Awards, as fans were shocked she sang a song believed to be about her ex-husband with him in the audience.

Miranda, 41, took the stage at the ACM Awards on Thursday, May 8 to perform her songs Kerosene and Run.

Before she sang the upbeat song with Ella Langley, she performed the emotional Run.

Lyrics include, “Well, it wasn’t that you didn’t have the answers/ There was just no question in my mind/ I was gonna run.

“And you took too long to see I was unhappy/ And I took too long to tell you that I was gonna run/ I was gonna run.”

More lyrics include, “Oh, this freedom I found, babe, sure wasn’t free/ I owe you a lifetime of apologies/ I’m tellin’ the truth now/ I loved you so much/ I’m sorry for lyin’ about who I was/ I was gonna run/ I was gonna run/ Ooh, I always was gonna run.”

Fans are convinced the song is about her relationship with Blake, 48, who she was married to from 2011 to 2015.

They couldn’t believe she performed the song in front of her ex-husband, as he was at the awards show to perform his new song Texas.

Fans turned to social media to praise Miranda for her “brave” performance.

“That took a lot of bravery to get up and sing that song about Blake knowing he was in attendance,” one fan wrote. “The truth always comes out and what a beautiful way to do it.”

A second said, “Ohhh wow Blake is there and wrote this for him. Healing all around.”

A third commented, “Just weird she sings this & Blake sings Texas????”

A fourth believes, “Texas is about you that Blake Shelton sings.”

Fans also speculate Texas is about Miranda, as Blake sang, “She cut me loose and caught herself a somewhere wind/ I haven’t heard a word and haven’t seen her since/ She disappeared quicker than this double shot of Jim/ ‘Cause everybody at the bar started askin’

“She’s probably in Texas/ Amarillo, all I know/ George Strait said it/ Yeah, that’s where all them exes go/ If she ain’t with me out here in Tennessee/ Then I don’t know where she’s headed/ If I’m guessin’, I reckon/ She’s probably in Texas.”

The exes have both moved on since their divorce.

Miranda has been married to her husband Brendan, 33, since 2019, as they tied the knot after just three months of dating.

Blake married Gwen Stefani in 2021 after meeting on The Voice.
