few things i have found about meera
This is from web
last few years

Mirabai arrived in Dwarka and decided that her life must become one with her Lord. In the meantime, the Rajputs had lost their kingdom. They realized that their ill-treatment of Mira had caused their destruction. They sent some Brahmin priests to invite Mira to return to Medta or Chittorgarh. Mira, however, was too absorbed in her Love for Krishna and having seen the vanity of worldly life, family life, friends and others, she had abandoned any hope to reconcile with the worldly. It is said that the Lord finally absorbed her in Him at the Dwarka temple.

from other site link

she is thought to have spent her last years as a pilgrim in Dwarka, Gujarat. In 1546, Udai Singh, who had succeeded Vikram Singh as rana, sent a delegation of Brahmans to bring her back to Mewar. Reluctant, she asked permission to spend the night at a temple of Krishna. The next morning she was found to have disappeared. According to popular belief, she miraculously merged with the image of Krishna

Once Akbar and his court musician Tansen came in disguise to Chitore to hear Mira's devotional and inspiring songs. Both entered the temple and listened to Mira's soul-stirring songs to their heart's content. Akbar was really moved. Before he departed, he touched the holy feet of Mira and placed a necklace of emeralds in front of the idol as a present. Somehow the news reached the Rana that Akbar had entered the temple in disguise, touched the feet of Mira and even presented her a necklace. The Rana became furious. He told Mira, "Drown yourself in the river and never show your face to the world in future. You have brought great disgrace on my family".
lets see what our kuwar pratap will do with this track.

The story i read long back in a story book was this
Akbar was upset on his father's first death anniversary and refused to come out of his room the full day despite everyone trying. Tansen started his evening practice and sang a meera bhajan and akbar came out of the room and sat and listened to it and found immense peace. Then he asked whose bhajan it is and tansen said meera bai. So akbar said i want to listen to her and they went in disguise to meet her.
Remaining story is as per what is written above

When did Tansen entered Akbar's court? Around 1556 ? In JA they showed as if 1562.

Tansen worked with King Ramachandra Baghela with whom Akbar studied in childhood in Rewa where he was born.
So Akbar first heard Tansen when he was small and called him to his court in 1556-57 or something not to stay permanent but to hear him. I think the above incident of his father first anniversary happened that time and he decided to go with Tansen to meet Meera. Tansen joined Akbar when he was 57-58 years old not middle age like Birbal/Todarmal etc.
