Miranda Lambert will be opening the CMA Awards show on Wednesday night (11/10), which also happens to be her birthday. She said, "I am opening the show this year, and I can't tell you much because of some surprises, but I'm also done at 7:05 so, I get to sit and enjoy my night which is amazing."

Lambert also gets to spend some time with her friend and "Drunk and I Don't Wanna Go Home" duet partner Elle King. She offers, "Elle King and I, I've just always been a fan of hers since she came out. I think she's a really cool chick. And I love her music, we went on tour together, and we just became really good friends, she's really genuine and cool. I just love her vibe."

Maybe this week, the girls can live out their song. Miranda says, "It's been so fun to watch. We've never actually gotten to get drunk and not want to go home together because she got pregnant. So, this CMA's we're sitting together, and I think this is our first time we get to live out our song, so I'm very excited about that."
