Concert-goers at Jimmy Buffett’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in St. Louis, Missouri in 2017 got the surprise of their lives when a country superstar joined the leader of the Parrotheads for a special performance.
Joining him for a thrilling rendition of his iconic song “Margaritaville,” Miranda Lambert looked the part as she walked on stage wearing a flower crown, a plastic lei and a Hawaiian-style shirt.

One fan recorded the duet and used jokingly the caption, “Who is this Miranda Lambert person who crashed my Jimmy Buffett concert? Maybe she has a future in the biz.”
It seems Lambert was just as excited to be there as Buffett’s fans were!
“All smiles,” she captioned a cute photo of her with Buffett backstage. “Last night we got the hang with Jimmy Buffett in St. Louis! And I got to join him onstage for ‘Margaritaville.’ It was my first time to see him. I’m a parrothead now!”

Perhaps there will be a future collaboration in the works! In the meantime, watch them sing “Margaritaville” below.
