AceShowbiz - Miranda Lambert delivered a vibrant performance of her new single Crisco during the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night. Known for her frequent and celebrated appearances at the ACMs, Lambert combined country roots with disco influences in a fresh, upbeat track that immediately captured the audience’s attention.

Wearing a signature white cowboy hat paired with denim and sparkling accents, Lambert led her band accompanied by a string section through the lively number. Released just days before the show, Crisco features a distinct late-Seventies and Eighties Urban Cowboy flair. The song nods to iconic artists like Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream,” and Glen Campbell’s “Southern Nights,” showcasing Lambert’s ability to blend nostalgic sounds with modern country music.

Alongside her own music, Lambert has been instrumental in reviving smooth Eighties country vibes as a co-producer on Ella Langley’s album Dandelion and her pop hit “Choosin’ Texas.” Langley was seen enjoying Crisco from the audience, highlighting the close creative partnership between the two artists. Lambert also provided backing vocals on Langley’s chart-topping single and shared a duet with her on the album’s track “Butterfly Season.”

Over two decades, Lambert has become the most awarded artist in the history of the ACMs, earning 35 wins out of 75 nominations. Although she missed out on Top New Female Vocalist in 2006, she secured the award the following year and most recently received the Triple Crown Award in 2023, underscoring her lasting impact on country music.

Lambert’s latest album, Postcards from Texas, was released in 2024, but the release of Crisco signals new directions and continued artistic evolution. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how this fresh disco-country fusion shapes her upcoming projects and live performances.
