ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- The country music star known for her hit song "White Liar" was rocking the big orange box.
2011 Female Country Vocalist of the Year Miranda Lambert is keeping Stateliners on their feet at the BMO Center Thursday night.
Lambert's song "The House that Built Me" just swept the Single of the Year, Song of the Year and Video of the Year Awards at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Lambert recently married fellow country crooner Blake Shelton but despite the rumors, Shelton did not join Lambert on stage. He's busy touring on his own.

Miranda rocks as much as she demonstrates her country roots. With a play list that included Aerosmith, Aretha Franklin, and chart toppers she wrote herself it should have been hard to find something that did not get you off your seat. Awesome!
