During his All-American Road Show tour stop in Buffalo, New York, on July 16, 2017, Chris Stapleton brought out a surprise guest, fellow country star Miranda Lambert, to perform his powerful ballad “Fire Away.”

Known for her commanding stage presence, Lambert joined Stapleton and his wife Morgane on stage, where their voices blended beautifully in a haunting, soulful rendition of the song. Lambert’s impromptu appearance thrilled the crowd, adding an extra layer of emotional intensity to the performance as she harmonized with the Stapletons, especially during the final chorus, which showcased her vocal power and sensitivity to the song’s somber tone.

This memorable collaboration highlighted Stapleton’s return to the stage after a brief hiatus due to a hand injury. Lambert’s appearance was a double treat for fans that night, as she was also there to celebrate the birthday of her then-boyfriend Anderson East, who had been opening for Stapleton’s tour.

This spontaneous duet resonated with the audience, who were captivated by the chemistry and musical synergy among the performers. It was a powerful moment underscoring both Stapleton’s and Lambert’s dedication to bringing raw, authentic emotion to their live shows​.
