At the 2009 ACM Artist of the Decade All-Star Concert, held on April 6 in Las Vegas, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton delivered a standout performance of George Strait’s 1986 hit, “It Ain’t Cool to Be Crazy About You.” This tribute event honored Strait’s enduring influence on country music, featuring renditions of his iconic songs by various artists.
Lambert and Shelton, who were in a relationship at the time, showcased their undeniable chemistry on stage. Their duet blended Shelton’s smooth vocals with Lambert’s raw energy, adding a fresh layer to the classic song. Their performance was widely regarded as one of the evening’s highlights, reflecting their admiration for Strait’s legacy and their own dynamic as a couple.
Their engagement followed in May 2010, when Shelton proposed to Lambert in a rustic setting near her home in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. He sought her father’s blessing beforehand, and Lambert described the proposal as “so Southern and old-school and perfect.” The couple married in May 2011 but announced their divorce in July 2015 after four years of marriage. wonderwall.com+2cbsnews.com+2people.com+2the-sun.com+2iiab.me+2en.wikipedia.org+2
