Miranda Lambert Stops Another Concert and Finally Responds to the ‘Selfie Backlash’

While the fellow concert goers seemed to support Lambert, other social media users were as supportive of Lambert’s actions. “Way to embarrass and shame your loyal fans who adore you,” one Twitter users wrote. “She could’ve poked fun and posed in the selfie and then encouraged them to be in the moment after that. Not cool.”

“Going to a concert is about creating an experience and a memory. If someone wants to take a picture to document that memory, they should be able to,” another Twitter user added.

The “self-taker” in question has since responded to Lambert’s actions and shared the photos she took. “It was 30 seconds at most,” Adela Calin said of the time it took to take the picture before they returned to their seats – adding that they “took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down.”

However, before they could get to that point, Miranda Lambert has already called them out. Calin admitted she was “appalled” at the way Lambert belittled them in front of thousands of people.

“It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place,” she said. “… I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain. But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”
