<p>The first outfit Lambert showed fans in the video was a bright blue jumpsuit with gold bling. Speaking to the camera, Lambert revealed that the outfit is called “Lone Star Elvis” and was inspired by one of Presley’s famous outfits. </p>
<p>“Opening night, this one is Lone Star Elvis. Patented it after one of Elvis’ famous jumpsuits he wore in Las Vegas,” Lambert said. </p>
<p>The country singer also revealed that the outfit’s name is a reference to one of her most popular songs, “Actin’ Up.”</p>
<p>“My song lyrics snuck in there too. ‘Lone Star Elvis’ is a line in ‘Actin’ Up,’ so see what I did there,” she said.</p>

<h2 id=”h-miranda-lambert-mentions-elvis-presley-in-her-song-actin-up”>Miranda Lambert mentions Elvis Presley in her song ‘Actin’ Up’</h2>
<p>Lambert released <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/why-miranda-lambert-made-actin-up-1st-song-palomino.html/”>the song “Actin’ Up”</a> on her 2022 album <em>Palomino</em>. Since releasing the song, it has become a fan-favorite and one of Lambert’s favorite songs to perform in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>“I love ‘Actin’ Up.’ I’ve had a great time with that one. I’m always testing the waters. I’m like, <em>Are there too many new ones? Are people going to be over it?</em>” Lambert told <a href=”https://www.vulture.com/2022/09/miranda-lambert-vegas-best-worst-music.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vulture</a>.</p>
<p>The singer continued, “That’s one of those songs that people were singing before they knew it. Sometimes songs on the records just pop out on their own, without being a single or whatever. I usually come out with guns blazing, but ‘Actin’ Up’ has this build, and it’s been fun to do that.”</p>
<p>With “Actin’ Up,” Lambert sings of wanting to live her life on her own terms. </p>
<p>“I want a sunset ride, a velvet rodeo/ A Colorado high, a California glow/ I wanna see the desert from a painted Palomino/ Señorita need to have a little fun/ I’m actin’ up, I’m actin’ up,” she sings in the song’s chorus. </p>
<p>In the third verse of the song, Lambert references Presley, singing, “Lookin’ for that lightning, when I find it then I rhyme it, actin’ up/ Little Lone Star Elvis gonna gеt a little selfish, shackin’ up/ With my microphone monеy, bought my own milk and honey/ Got my own kind of country, kinda funky, turn it up.”</p>
