You never know who’s gonna pop up at a show in Nashville…
And for fans at the Brooks & Dunn concert at Bridgestone Arena last night, they got way more than their money’s worth when Kix and Ronnie pulled Miranda Lambert up on stage to sing a few tunes.
The Texas native was there taking in the show and “gettin’ drunk” with her friends in the audience, when Ronnie got wind that she was there and wanted to bring her up on stage.
Of course, she obliged, saying this as she walked out to cheering from the crowd:
“I can’t hear shit, I was out there gettin’ drunk enjoyin’ the show. What?!”
She joined the iconic 90’s duo for the tail end of “Cowgirls Don’t Cry,” and as excited as she was to be up there, told them she was heading back to her seat to drink some more after the song ended:
“I just got to sing with B&D In Nashville, Tennessee y’all! Well I’m going to drink, y’all go entertain them.”
And as she walked away, she realized they were about to play their signature song and #1 hit “Neon Moon,” so naturally, she turned around immediately at the first lick of the steel guitar to help them out a little more.
Ronnie, who was impressed that she pulled it off with zero practice or warning, promised the audience she really had no prior warning he was going to do that:
“That’s not fair to Miranda, but Miranda can walk out here and do anything unrehearsed. It’s all about being real.
I swear to you I just pulled her out of the audience. She had no idea.”
And Miranda, who’s an old pro herself, agreed, saying she would have dressed for the occasion if she would’ve known she was getting on stage:
“I swear to God he did.
I woulda worn my fishnets and Spanx if I woulda known!”
Ronnie: I swear to you I just pulled her out of the audience. She had no idea.

A girl after my own heart… you have to love it.
It’s cool to see an artist like Miranda, who’s sang with the best of the best in country music (like George Strait, for example) still gets excited to sing with her musical heroes.
It’s the trio I never knew I needed, honestly. Check out their full performance here:
