Over You - Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton (NASH BASH 2/18/13)

On February 18, 2013, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton delivered a heartfelt performance of “Over You” during the NASH BASH event, which took place in Nashville, Tennessee. This song, co-written by the couple, has a deep emotional resonance as it reflects on loss and longing, inspired by Blake’s personal tragedy—the death of his older brother, Richie, in a car accident when Blake was just 14 years old.

During their NASH BASH performance, the chemistry between Miranda and Blake was palpable, and their shared history added layers of meaning to the song. “Over You” was released as part of Miranda’s fourth studio album, Four the Record, in 2011 and quickly became one of her signature songs. It showcases both artists’ remarkable vocal abilities, blending Miranda’s powerful delivery with Blake’s subtle harmonies. The song’s emotional depth is enhanced by its poignant lyrics, which capture the heartache of losing a loved one and the ongoing struggle to cope with that loss​.
