During a previous ACM Awards performance, Miranda captivated the audience with a medley featuring hits such as “Kerosene” and “Gunpowder and Lead.” However, the standout moment occurred when she altered the lyrics to “Little Red Wagon.” Instead of the original line, “I live in Oklahoma,” she passionately declared, “I got the hell out of Oklahoma.” This was a clear jab at Blake, who hails from Oklahoma. Although she had been performing the song with the revised lyric for some time, this marked the first occasion she did so with Blake present in the audience. Naturally, fans were eager to see his reaction. While it may have seemed like a trivial moment, it was clear that everyone was anticipating the camera to capture Blake’s expression.

Ultimately, Miranda is justified in modifying the lyrics, particularly since she no longer resides in Oklahoma. Nevertheless, the performance certainly had an added intensity with Blake in attendance, and her fans appreciate her for it.
