Miranda Lambert releases her third album, Revolution, on September 29. She performed the entire project, from start to finish, in a special sold-out show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium last week. Fans from around the country attended the show, and reacted enthusiastically to the new music. Miranda’s boyfriend, Blake Shelton, co-wrote three songs on the album. Before performing “Me And Your Cigarettes,” she told the audience that Blake was on the road, and unable to join her. Also missing were Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum, who co-wrote “Love Song.” However, mid-way through the show, Miranda acknowledged that there was at least one celebrity in the house. Taylor Swift was seated in the front row of the balcony. She brought her guitar player and a member of the rock band Paramour as her guests. After doing the entire 70-minute album in order, Miranda took a short break, and returned to do three classics: Merle Haggard’s “The Way I Am,” Patsy Cline’s “Crazy,” and the Hank Williams song “Settin’ The Woods on Fire.” While singing “Crazy,” Miranda stepped away from the microphone to demonstrate the power of her voice without amplification. Then, she did 5 of her hits, ending the show with “Gunpowder & Lead.”
