Miranda Lambert and her Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars tourmates were just crowned ACM Awards winners, taking home the trophy for the ACM Award Music Event of the Year category for “Fooled Around And Fell In Love.”

Released in September of 2019, the song was produced by Jay Joyce and features Lambert, Maren Morris, Ashley McBryde, Tenille Townes, Caylee Hammack and Elle King.

“The girls on the Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour can sing their asses off,” Lambert shared at the time of the song’s release. “There’s something crazy about seeing these artists with a new fire in their eyes. It reignites your own flame. I’m so excited to watch them every night on tour.”

Lambert is set to perform her latest hit, “Bluebird,” at the upcoming ACM Awards. The show will also feature performances from Jimmie Allen, Kelsea Ballerini, Gabby Barrett, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Riley Green, Mickey Guyton, Tim McGraw, Maren Morris, Old Dominion, Thomas Rhett with Jon Pardi, Blake Shelton with Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift, Tenille Townes, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban with P!nk, Morgan Wallen and Trisha Yearwood.

The 2020 ACM Awards will take place in Music City for the first time ever. The three-hour show will broadcast from three iconic venues: Grand Ole Opry House, Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Cafe.

Urban is set to host the star-studded event, which will broadcast on Wednesday, September 16 (live 8:00-11:00 PM ET/delayed PT) on CBS.
