You’re the reason God made Oklahoma… There are duets that aren’t just sung with voices… but also born from a love story that once moved the entire country music world. Every time Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert stood together on stage, their eyes, smiles, and the way they harmonized made millions believe it was a love that would last forever. Even though that story ended long ago, performances like “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma” or “Over You” still bring tears to fans’ eyes whenever they watch them again. Perhaps, music still preserves things that time cannot.

Thanks for the memories, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. While the two will surely be booked for the same event in the future (both are already set to play WE Fest the second weekend of August), they’re unlikely to sing a song together again. So Taste of Country has compiled the best moments from previous, impromptu duets. What’s your No. 1?

Blake Shelton + Miranda Lambert -- Country Love Stories

Lambert and Shelton fell in love over song. “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma” brought them together in 2005, and through the years they’ve performed his hits, her hits and cover songs. Who can resist them singing “Play That Funky Music” in Las Vegas? We can’t.

Lambert and Shelton divorced on July 20 after four years of marriage. Neither has commented publicly on the split, saying only, “This is not the future we envisioned.” Since then Shelton has returned to work at The Voice, while Lambert showed up to help her best friend Ashley Monroe sing “Heart Like Mine” at Monroe’s album release party for The Blade on Wednesday (July 22)

If you know the words… sing with me… When the music unexpectedly went silent in the middle of the US presidential inauguration, Carrie Underwood remained unfazed. Without backing vocals, without a second chance—only with her powerful voice resonating throughout the hall—she confidently sang “America the Beautiful” a cappella, turning a technical glitch into a moment where the entire audience sang along. This masterful performance was quickly hailed as proof of one of America’s finest voices: without a band, Carrie’s voice alone was enough to fill the room.
