At the 2009 ACM Artist of the Decade All-Star Concert, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton delivered a memorable performance of George Strait’s classic hit, “It Ain’t Cool to Be Crazy About You.” This special concert, held in honor of Strait’s legendary career, featured country music’s biggest stars paying tribute to him with renditions of his most iconic songs.

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, who were then country music’s power couple, brought their unique chemistry to the stage, making their rendition of the song one of the highlights of the night. The performance captured the song’s essence—a classic tale of unrequited love—while also showcasing Shelton’s smooth vocals and Lambert’s raw energy. Together, they added a fresh layer to the 1986 hit, balancing the song’s heartache with their own stage presence.

This performance was a beautiful nod to George Strait’s influence on the country music genre, and their tribute reflected their admiration for one of the genre’s greatest icons.
