Miranda Lambert isn't afraid to get a little personal onstage.

Friday evening was another big show for the country singer who helped make night two of WE Fest 2015 in Detroit Lakes, Minn., a success.

But while performing her biggest hits for thousands of concertgoers, many attendees couldn't help but notice the blond beauty make a comment about her personal life.

According to multiple fans, Lambert reportedly joked to the crowd, "I wish I've been drinking all day, I deserve it. I just got divorced."

Some were quick to feel her pain. Others took it as an innocent joke from the newly single singer. Regardless, Lambert carried on with her show that included renditions of "Over You" and "All Kinds of Kinds." 

In fact, a few special guests came up onstage to give fans an extra reason to cheer.

Gwen Sebastian helped Lambert sing her current single "Smokin' and Drinkin'." Soon after, close friend Dierks Bentley appeared to help cover Tracy Lawrence's "Texas Tornado."  

Ever since news broke of Lambert and Blake Shelton's divorce, the couple has remained focused on work and hanging out with close friends. Just last weekend, Lambert traveled to Nashville where she had a girls night at Shania Twain's concert.

"Shania Twain. Fringe Saddle. That's All," she wrote on Instagram from her seat. "#Nashville #GirlsNight #RockThisCountry #BadAss #MusicIsMedicine."

Meanwhile, Shelton has been filming a new season of The Voice while also performing gigs across the country. In fact, his next show is Saturday night at WE Fest.
