Publish date: 2024-08-17

Miranda Lambert flaunted her cleavage in a busty blue gown on Thursday when she attended the 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards on the arm of her handsome husband Brendan McLoughlin.

The 39-year-old Kerosene songstress – who recently hung out with Jennifer Garner at Willie Nelson's 90th birthday concert – brought major sex appeal in her plunging dress. 

Miranda's lustrous blonde hair was styled in sultry waves and her gown featured a thigh-high slit, allowing her to get leggy on the carpet. 

The bombshell's hunky other half looked dapper in his classic black suit and slick coif. 

It's a big night for Lambert as the country superstar scored an impressive five ACM nominations.

The Gunpowder & Lead singer is also up for Entertainer of the Year, competing against fellow nominees Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood and Morgan Wallen. 

Lambert is the most-awarded person ever at the ACM Awards, and she broke the record for most Female Artist of the Year nominations with her 17th this year, surpassing Reba McEntire's 16. 

HARDY leads the ACM nominations this year with seven, while Lainey Wilson is close behind with six nods. 

Lambert is performing this year along with Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Jo Dee Messina, Jelly Roll, Cole Swindell, Keith Urban, Morgan Wallen, The War And Treaty, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman. 

Two legends are hosting the ceremony as Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks will be working together for the very first time. 

Parton gushed about Brooks in a statement after they were announced as co-hosts, saying: 'While I've had the pleasure of spending time with him throughout the years, I can't believe we've never had the chance to work together.' 

Miranda recently dished on how she met McLoughlin in 2019 when he was an officer for the NYPD. 

The country superstar told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she had her security invite her now-husband to a concert after seeing him on guard duty at Good Morning America.

Telling the story, Miranda explained: 'We invited him to our show that night. Well, we did it through security because I'm not going to get out on the street and go, ''Want to go see a country show?'' I felt weird about that so my security invited him and we gave him one ticket.'

'I love it,' said Andy. 'I love that he went alone, that meant he was ready to go.'

But Lamber said that her future husband initially had no clue that she was interested in him: 'He was like ''I just thought you were thanking me to come to a show." I got nervous and didn't see him before the show. 

'So after we all, the band and crew, went to a bar and I invited him. We hung out and he was really cool. My dad's a police officer and tons of cops and firemen in my family so it just settled right in.'
