VIDEO: Miranda Lambert's Tears At 'Healing In The Heartland'

There were several emotional moments during Wednesday's nationally broadcast "Healing in the Heartland" benefit concert to raise money for victims of the May 20 tornado that devastated Moore, Okla., and nearby communities.

Singing star Miranda Lambert's tears, though, are worth some special attention. NBC News has video showing how she struggled to get through her hit "The House That Built Me." As EW.com PopWatch blogger Annie Barrett wrote early Thursday, after seeing Lambert's performance: "Well, I'm spent."

The United Way of Oklahoma is collecting contributions:

President Obama and other federal officials have also suggested sending donations to the American Red Cross.
