There have been a lot of iconic moments at Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem Tour this summer, but in Miami during July, it was Miranda Lambert singing her version of his song that took the cake. She gave fans her spin on Wallen's "Thought You Should Know", a song he originally wrote for his mother. Fans must have thought that was an unexpected song choice for her to make until she totally flipped it on its head.

Changing the lyrics from "You've been losing sleep since '93" to "'83," replacing his mom's birth year with her own. This changed the course of the song entirely, giving lyrics like "Can you believe I'm on the radio? / Just thought you should know," a whole new meaning. Fans were pleasantly surprised by her take, but I'm sure they wouldn't be that shocked if they knew she was a writer on the song back in 2021.
While sitting in a writing room with Nicolle Galyon and Lambert back in 2021, Wallen started talking about how he wanted to write a little something for his mama. Later on, Lambert would go on to talk about how special the writing session was. "It was so pure," the country legend said of writing the hit. It's not super often that a writing session like that happens magically, but that seemed to be the case here.
The I'm The Problem Tour Has Been Full of Special Moments
If you haven't been keeping up, Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem Tour, which features Miranda Lambert as an opener, has been giving fans not only the rowdy concert experience they're hoping for, but also a lot of touching moments to look back on.
Also at a show in Miami, Lambert talked about her bandmate's father, who had recently passed. The country singer had forgotten her belt, and her bandmate, Gwen Sebastian, offered her one that had belonged to Gerald Sebastian. Miranda wore the belt proudly, which had "Gerald" engraved on it. She later shared in an Instagram post that she was "honored" to wear it.
Another touching moment, involving Morgan Wallen himself, has been his transition to the B-stage during each show, where he aims to create a special moment for the crowd. It's here that he delivers heartfelt speeches, stripping away the big production to connect directly with fans. At a show in Indianapolis, he revealed his intention behind the more intimate concerts.
"One thing that I miss about playing those smaller places is I could go out on stage every night, and I could pretty much look at every single person in the eyes. That's not possible now, but this is my best attempt at getting a little bit closer to you, so I want to sing a few songs back here, acoustic-style."
Fans are definitely feeling the love from both Wallen and Lambert these days, who have proven themselves to be not only great performers but great showmakers as well.
