The night already promised a special guest appearance from Natalie Hemby, one of Nashville's most sought-after songwriters and Lambert's longtime collaborator.
The two belted out their hit "Bluebird" together, leaving fans in awe of their powerhouse vocals and undeniable chemistry.
"One of my best friends in the world was in Vegas last night," Lambert gushed on social media, sharing a video of their duet. "We wrote our first #1 song together ("White Liar"). We have gotten to celebrate a lot of milestones together personally & professionally since then."
