While performing some of her popular songs to crowds that had gathered, the blonde country beauty made a very personal comment about her marital status, according to E! News.

In what was meant to be a joke, according to fans quoted by the entertainment website, Lambert has said she wished she had been drinking adding "I deserve it. I just got divorced."

Fans of the country star were quick to react to the emotional statement made by Lambert and went on to their personal social media accounts to express their sympathy or to say they would not mind drinking with Lambert as well.

According to a report in Us Weekly, one fan claimed the singer began to tear up while performing "Over You" a song that she wrote together with then husband Shelton about the death of his brother who was involved in a car crash.

Previously Lambert got emotional on stage in a show just a few days before the official announcement was made that the two stars would split.

Ever since the official announcement was made of the couples' divorce  Lambert and Shelton have remained very focused on work and have chosen to spend time with close friends.

Recently, Lambert traveled to Nashville where she spent a girl's night with Shania Twain at her concert.Meanwhile, Shelton has thrown himself into filming of the upcoming season of "The Voice" while continuing with performances  across the Unites States.

Incidentally, Shelton also took the stage at the WE Fest in Minnesota and the performance  happened to be the final scheduled show in his concert calendar for this year.
