Miranda Lambert stepped in to help out her home state over the weekend, joining the lineup for the We’re Texas livestream concert benefitting those affected by the recent winter storms in the state. The country star shared a video performance from outside on her porch, her phone and a can of something cold on the railing beside her.
Decked out in full Western wear including jeans, a hat, bandana and a shirt with patches that read “School Crossing Guard” and “Outlaw,” Lambert strummed a pink acoustic guitar as she sang. “This song is called ‘Heart Like Mine,’” she said ahead of the performance, a banner under her name sharing her hometown of Klein, Texas. “Hope you like it; it’s an oldie but a goodie.” “Heart Like Mine” was the fifth and final single from the Grammy winner’s 2009 album, Revolution, and went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and No. 44 on the Billboard 100 chart.
