Miranda Lambert apparently watched The Kelly Clarkson Show recently, and when she saw Kelly do a Kellyeoke rendition of her song “Tin Man,” the country star loved it.

Miranda shared a clip of Clarson’s performance on her X and added a heart emoji and applause emoji, giving her approval.

Lambert’s fans agreed, commenting, “This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Please make it a duet and re-release.” Another fan said, “I love Kelly’s rendition, but if only I hadn’t heard Miranda’s first. Great version’s by both ya’ll.” One more fan wrote, “I liked Kelly’s version of it! It’s like a house that built me; though only Miranda can really do it justice, Kelly can cover anything. She’s one of the best vocalists.”

Miranda released “Tin Man” in 2016 from their sixth studio album, The Weight of These Wings. Lambert, Jack Ingram, and Jon Randall wrote the song, which appeared in an acoustic version on the trio’s 2021 collaborative album, The Marfa Tapes.

“Tin Man” won ACM Song of the Year in 2018.

In other Lambert news, she released a music video for her new song “Wranglers” last week (6/13), and it received the biggest streaming debut of her career.

Filmed outside Austin, Texas, the video puts to film the song’s sense of hard-won freedom for anyone leaving a situation that didn’t serve them.

Miranda said of the new music video, “‘Wranglers’ is a classic tale of a woman taking her power back. I think we can all identify with the character in this video because we have all had a time in our life where we needed to find our strength and also get a little revenge on someone who did us wrong or hurt us.”

She added, “This offers such a cool, raging take on how something like this unravels; I am so proud to sing this song.”

The new music video features Miranda’s childhood best friend, Laci, who also appeared in “White Liar.”

The clip also harkens back to Lambert’s fiery breakthrough hit, “Kerosene.” As the country star fires to a less-than-stand-up paramour’s Wranglers while donning her own Idyllwind Denim, the gas can used to fuel the flames is a replica of her first kerosene can, and the matchbook is the exact one used in that original shoot nearly two decades ago.
