Miranda Lambert showed off the quiet cool of her new track “In His Arms” on the 56th annual ACM Awards Sunday (April 18), teaming up with collaborators Jack Ingram and Jon Randall for a moment of pristine acoustic heartbreak.

The three Texas-born artists performed the lost love lullaby on the famed Ryman Auditorium stage, a fitting venue for the country tune. Lambert, looking radiant in denim and a cowboy hat, sat in the middle of the stage with Randall and Ingram on each side. Each artist played acoustic guitar while Lambert sang the pining lyrics, in which she wonders where an old love is now and wishes she was in his arms. The singers finished the soulful tune, and after applause from the small audience, continued playing the song’s melodic guitar phrase as host Mickey Guyton teased the next act.

“In His Arms” appears on the Texas trio’s upcoming album, The Marfa Tapes, which arrives May 7 and captures the magic of their songwriting collective. Their work has previously led to hits like “Tin Man” and “Tequila Does,” and the new album presents more new songs in their natural state. The superstar first announced the project in early March.

“They’re raw. You can hear the wind blowing, the cows mooing,” she wrote on Instagram. “We wanted you to feel like you were right there with us, sitting around the campfire, escaping the world, disappearing into the music.”

Miranda Lambert was up for five nominations at the 2021 ACM Awards. The night was hosted by Keith Urban and Mickey Guyton, broadcast live on Sunday, April 18 (8:00-11:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
