No Regrets in Calling Out Fans
Miranda Lambert showed no hesitation when calling out fans for taking selfies during her concert. The country music star, who’s currently headlining a Vegas residency, paused her performance last week to confront a fan snapping pictures during her song “Tin Man.”
Selfie Interruptions
Lambert noticed a fan focused more on her phone than the performance. She stopped mid-song, directing the fan to put the phone down and focus on the music.
“I’m a little annoyed that these females are preoccupied with their selfie and aren’t listening to the song. I’m sorry, but I really dislike it,” Lambert said. “Tonight, we’re here to listen to some country music. I’m performing some damn country music.”
Fans applauded Lambert for taking a stand against distractions, praising her dedication to the music.
Another Selfie Incident
After another show, Lambert spotted a fan wearing a shirt that read “Shoot tequila, not selfies.” She immediately pointed it out to the crowd, joking, “I didn’t do it; she did!”
While some fans agreed with her actions, others felt her approach was harsh. “It’s unbelievable that this is how she’s responding to her rudeness,” one commenter shared.
Supporters and Critics
Many fans supported Lambert’s decision, but others criticized her behavior. One Twitter user wrote, “Anyone should be able to take a picture to record that memory.”
Fan’s Response
The fan, Adela Calin, who was called out for taking the selfie, explained that she only took the photo for about 30 seconds before returning to her seat. Calin expressed feeling humiliated, comparing the experience to being reprimanded in school.
“She seemed intent on making us appear youthful, conceited, and immature. We were just trying to capture a photo,” Calin said.
In the end, the incident sparked both support and backlash, with fans divided over Lambert’s handling of the situation.
