Miranda Lambert: Ashton Kutcher ‘Lives Country Music…For Real!’

Miranda Lambert may have started waves when she tweeted a skeptical remark about Ashton Kutcher's appearance at the Academy of Country Music Awards early last month--but it appears all is now fine and dandy between the two.

Lambert--who, after seeing Kutcher attempt to sing George Strait's "I Cross My Heart" dressed in flashy cowboy gear at the ACMs, commented "Was Ashton Kutcher making fun of country or is it just me?"--bumped into Kutcher at a Kentucky Derby party Friday, and apparently used her country-bull-o-meter to determine that he actually is an okay guy.

She posted a photo of the two together, and tweeted, "He is sweet and lives country music! For real!:) and he likes randaritas!"Lambert and Kutcher

Good to know that Kutcher wasn't faking (he noted himself after the ACM performance that he is a genuine country fan). If he's good enough for Lambert, he's good enough for me!

Of course, it may be the randaritas that helped to smooth things out between the two. A randarita--which Lambert has tweeted enthusiastically about before--is a cocktail made with Bacardi, raspberry-lemonade flavored Crystal Light, and Sprite Zero. Lambert claims to have invented the concoction, and even extended an unofficial offer to Bacardi to sponsor her tour.

While most fans responded positively to the photo, one smart aleck tweeted: "Now let's see a pic w/ Eric Church." Har! Now that's a good one! (If you don't get the joke--read the story here.)
