Miranda Lambert Replaced Chris Stapleton’s Wife Morgane at ACMs
If you wondered why Chris Stapleton’s wife, Morgane, wasn’t present for their duet of “Maggie’s Song,” it was due to Morgane’s commitment as a doula, the ACMs noted prior to the show’s airing. Morgane sings backup on the song which was penned by Stapleton a day after the couple’s adopted lab-terrier’s death. “She deserved a tribute of a song. Now, whether or not I did her justice in the song, I don’t know, but she was a dog that deserved a song so I wrote a song about her the day after she died,” Stapleton said in a radio interview. Miranda stood in for Morgane and tweeted a video of the performance along with the caption, “Support @muttnation’s dog rescue efforts at http://muttnation.com #acmawards” Have you suffered the loss of a furry friend recently?
