  • Miranda Lambert played Verizon Arena Friday night.

Miranda Lambert isn’t afraid to speak her mind and sing the songs she wants to sing. Armed with a big voice, a feisty personality and a pink guitar, she did just that Friday night as she brought her On Fire Tour to Verizon Arena. Lambert – accompanied this time out by Chris Young and Jerrod Niemann – put on a high-energy show that featured her top hits plus covers ranging from Lady Gaga to Waylon Jennings.

With a crowd of 8,681 roaring their approval, she played the woman-out-for-revenge part to the hilt with such trademark hits as “Gunpowder and Lead” and “Kerosene.” Nobody in country music today can do it better. But while you’re watching her toss her hair with the best of ’em and whip out a threatening line or two with that strong voice, just don’t make the mistake of thinking that’s all she can do.
