One of Miranda’s most talked-about ACM moments was when she threw some lyrical shade at her ex-husband, Blake Shelton. During a medley performance that included “Kerosene” and “Gunpowder and Lead,” she changed the lyrics of “Little Red Wagon” from:
“I live in Oklahoma”
to
“I got the hell out of Oklahoma.”
It wasn’t the first time she used that line in concert, but it was the first time she sang it with Blake in the room, which made the moment unforgettable. Since Blake is famously from Oklahoma, the lyric change added a little heat to the already fiery performance—and fans loved every second.
Their Song “Over You” Still Holds Meaning
Despite the jabs, Miranda and Blake share some emotional history through music. Their co-written song “Over You”, about Blake’s late brother, remains one of her most heartfelt performances. Miranda once said:
“I’m glad we shared that song and that it helped his family heal, to have that together.”
It’s a reminder that while they’ve moved on, some songs still resonate on a deeper level.
Calling Out Ashton Kutcher’s Cringe Moment
At the 2012 ACM Awards, Miranda didn’t stay quiet about what many considered a strange and uncomfortable moment: Ashton Kutcher, dressed in over-the-top cowboy attire, performed George Strait’s “I Cross My Heart” before announcing the Female Vocalist nominees.
Fans were confused, and some felt Ashton’s performance mocked the genre. Miranda later called it out, saying it was a “dumb moment in ACM history.” But to her credit, she kept it classy.
A month later, she ran into Ashton at the Kentucky Derby and shared that he genuinely loves country music, which helped patch things up a bit.
