Musicians Miranda Lambert (L) and Dierks Bentley perform onstage during the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards at STAPLES Center on Feb. 10, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.
Since Lambert and Bentley were tasked with “celebrating the art of country music at its finest,” there was little hope that they would live up to such expectations (despite singing beneath a giant fake oak). However, Lambert is always incredible, and she did not fail to provide a powerful version of “Over You” that she co-wrote with her husband Blake Shelton. Bentley— a less charismatic country version of Coldplay’s Chris Martin‚—managed to accompany Lambert without making his presence known.
