Miranda Lambert Stops Another Concert and Finally Responds to the ‘Selfie Backlash’
Despite the backlash, Miranda Lambert seemingly has zero remorse for embarrassing a fan of hers.
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, the country music superstar is currently headlining a Vegas residency slot. And during one of her performances last week, she stopped her concert abruptly to call out a fan.
According to reports, while Lambert was performing her song Tin Man, she spotted a fan, who paid to be at her show, taking a “selfie.” Lambert took the opportunity to call out the paying fan in front of the entire crowd.
She announced, “I’m gonna stop for a minute.” Lambert then went on to tell the woman she was motioning to, to stop taking selfies instead of listening to the music.
“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, it’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music.”
As the woman put her phone away, Lambert began to performing again. People at the show were quick to show their support for Lambert, cheering her on as she called out the “selfie-takers.”
Now, following her latest performance, Lambert stopped her concert again after spotting a fan wearing a t-shirt that read, “Shoot tequila, not selfies.” A shirt Lambert seemingly appreciated.
“Her shirt says, ‘Shoot tequila, not selfies,” Lambert explained to the crowd. “She did it, I didn’t!”
Now people are even more upset with Lambert for throwing salt on the wound. “Wow! Can’t believe this is her response to her rudeness,” one person wrote.
