From performing throwback hits like 2007’s “Famous In a Small Town” to more recent tracks like “If I Was a Cowboy” off her latest album Palomino, Lambert sung her heart out.
The country star was decked out in fringe and shocked fans when sparklers shot out of her jacket sleeves while performing “Gunpowder & Lead”. She even rocked a bright blue Elvis-inspired ensemble with a rhinestone embellished cowboy hat — obviously.
