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.

“Opening night, this one is Lone Star Elvis. Patented it after one of Elvis’ famous jumpsuits he wore in Las Vegas,” Lambert said.

Miranda Lambert mentions Elvis Presley in her song ‘Actin’ Up’

Lambert released the song “Actin’ Up” on her 2022 album Palomino. Since releasing the song, it has become a fan-favorite and one of Lambert’s favorite songs to perform in Las Vegas.

“I love ‘Actin’ Up.’ I’ve had a great time with that one. I’m always testing the waters. I’m like, Are there too many new ones? Are people going to be over it?” Lambert told Vulture.

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.”

With “Actin’ Up,” Lambert sings of wanting to live her life on her own terms.

“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.

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.”
