Miranda Lambert Had to Stop Singing Because of a Soldier’s Sign
MIRANDA LAMBERT was singing “The House That Built Me” at a show in Connecticut last Friday, and stopped to check out a sign that a fan in the front was holding. Then she brought it up on stage so the audience could read it too.
Listen to what it said: “Three combat tours. Your voice is the last thing I listened to EVERY NIGHT. THANK YOU!!!” She got so emotional she started crying, and the AUDIENCE had to finish the song.
