Miranda Lambert performed her latest hit during the Academy of Country Music Awards.

On Wednesday, Lambert performed her No. 1 hit single "Bluebird" at The Bluebird Cafe, an iconic music venue in Nashville.

"We are so happy to be here at the legendary Bluebird," said Lambert, 36, who wore a blue fringed Western shirt, which she accessorized with a glitzy belt and big hoop earrings. "I'm performing with my good friends and cowriters Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby, and we're gonna do a stripped-down version, basically the way we wrote the song; we're gonna do "Bluebird" right here at the Bluebird. Here we go!"

Ahead of the show, Lambert gave followers a glimpse of her outfit and got pumped up for her performance by lip-syncing Aretha Franklin's hit "I Say a Little Prayer" with her glam squad in a video on Instagram.

This year, Lambert is nominated for three awards, including female artist of the year, alongside Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, Carrie Underwood and Kelsea Ballerini. Lambert's Wildcard is also up for album of the year against Thomas Rhett's Center Point Road, Morris' GIRL, Jon Pardi's Heartache Medication, and Luke Combs' What You See Is What You Get.

The singer already won an award ahead of the broadcast. Lambert, along with Morris, Ashley McBryde, Tenille Townes, Caylee Hammack and Elle King, won music event of the year for their rendition of Elvin Bishop's 1976 hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love."

"What a day! I’m so happy to share this moment with these artists I respect so much," she wrote about the award. "Not only that , I’m thankful to call them all friends. Love y’all!"
