Miranda Lambert stopped her Friday night show (July 5) to meet an adorable young fan who just so happens to share her name.
During a performance in Hinckley, Minn., Lambert spotted a young girl who was repping her signature style — complete with cowboy hat and fringed denim jacket — and pulled her up onstage to say hello.
“What’s your name?” the country singer asked, and the crowd roared when the girl replied that she was also named Miranda.
“I absolutely love your jacket. Did your mom make it?” Lambert asked.
“My mom did it,” replied the little Miranda, who was also sporting a pink princess dress, matching cowboy boots and dangling Texas-shaped earrings. “Your mom’s awesome,” Lambert told her, before thanking her for coming to the show and giving her a big hug.
“I met the cutest lil gal also named MIRANDA last night. She stole the show and my heart!” the singer said after the fact, posting video of the moment to her social media.
The adorable mini-me moment proved that Lambert’s shows truly are for all kinds of fans: It happened less than a week after the singer made headlines for breaking up a fight in the front rows of another concert. The fight happened during one of the singer’s best-loved emotional ballads — “Tin Man” — and after the fact, she jokingly reminded fans that she’s got no problem with them fighting during the rowdier songs, but when the ballads come around, they should show some respect. In addition to her own headlining dates, Lambert’s got a very special show with Chris Stapleton coming up next month. She’s joining his All-American Road Show for one night only during a stop in her home state of Texas.
