Midway through Sunday night’s 53rd Annual ACM Awards Show, Miranda Lambert took the stage for the second time to perform her hit song, “Keeper of the Flame.”
Lambert used a light brown acoustic guitar during the performance, which noticeably had something written on the front of it.

Some of Lambert’s more observant fans were able to zoom in and see what it read, revealing that the guitar was signed by none other than Country Music Hall of Famer Loretta Lynn.

Lambert made headlines multiple times throughout the night.
She won the first award of the night, Song of the Year, for her hit song “Tin Man.” The heartbreaking song is about her divorce from Blake Shelton, who just so happened to be in the front row of the MGM Gran alongside his girlfriend Gwen Stefani, that gave social media a kick out of the awkward encounter.
That awkwardness continued as she walked onstage later in the night, giving a noticeable side-eye to her former husband of four years. It was reported on April 8 that Lambert and her most recent boyfriend, singer Anderson East, broke up recently.
