Alt-county superstar Amanda Shires performed a cover of Beyonce’s classic hit “Single Ladies”. This cover came from one of Shires’ shows where she opened for her ex-husband Jason Isbell at Denver’s Mission Ballroom. Once known as an alt-country power couple producing memorable hits in the last decade, Isbell and Shires are now divorced. During the show, Shires addressed the crowd about the challenges of being a single mom following their separation.

According to Stereogum, Shires also performed “Stupid Love” where she changed the opening lyric from “You were smiling so much you kissed me your teeth” to “You were smiling so much you kissed with your crooked teeth”. Delivering a sneering, snarky response to her ex-husband. Isbell hasn’t discussed the divorce since the announcement. However, in an article from Rolling Stone, he was magnanimous about the taunting from his ex-wife. Telling the crowd “I’ve seen a lot of Amanda Shirs sets, but that was on of my very favorites. It was a real honor and a real pleasure to have her and her fantastic band out here.”

Amanda Shires was incredible musically…spent most of her set shitting on Jason Isbell though 😬
