Miranda Lambert celebrated the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough hit “Kerosene” with a special performance and appearance on American Idol on Sunday, May 4.
Lambert, the winningest artist in the history of the ACM Awards, also served as a guest mentor on the show.
“20 years later it’s still the ripped-jeans, boot-stompin siren song to women & girls across the country! It’s an anthem that says loud & clear, raise a little hell, always be yourself, and most importantly ALWAYS stand up for yourself! 🔥🔥👊👊💪💪love you Miranda!” wrote one fan.
“👏👏👏🔥🔥❤️🙌👏our Texas Queen ❤️❤️❤️❤️👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑,” raved another.
One fan questioned another country star’s reaction to Lambert’s performance. “I’m sorry, if I was Carrie underwood I would have been up on my feet dancing. She looked like she was watching an audition! It’s MIRANDA FREAKING LAMBERT 🔥,” they wrote.
“Not just my favourite artist but the most gorgeous woman!!! There aren’t words for how your music has carried me through so much! Love you Miranda❤️❤️,” another one raved.
However, another fan wasn’t that impressed and questioned the use of the title “country queen” for Lambert. “Is Reba dead?! No! So how is Miranda the queen when Reba is still breathing?! Miranda isn’t the queen and if anyone can replace Reba it’s Lainey Wilson! I like her voice so much more! Country On! 🇺🇸,” they wrote.
