At the 2025 ACM Awards, held at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas, Lambert delivered a two-song performance that stole the show (Yahoo Entertainment).

She wore a bright pink jacket with fringe sleeves and jeans with pink embroidery, showcasing her unique style. Her second song, “Kerosene,” marked its 20th anniversary in 2025. Joined by Ella Langley, Lambert performed as the stage was set ablaze, creating a dramatic moment that thrilled the audience.
Her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, watched from the crowd. The couple, married since 2019, often supports each other at events.

The night highlighted Lambert’s ability to command attention with her powerful voice and stage presence.
