    Miranda Lambert Halts Concert To Reprimand Fans

     

    Miranda Lambert inadvertently waded into the ongoing discourse surrounding live performance etiquette when she halted a recent concert to reprimand a group of audience members for taking selfies.

    Video footage taken at Lambert’s Las Vegas residency concert Saturday and shared on TikTok shows the country singer-songwriter beginning a rendition of her 2017 hit, “Tin Man,” before instructing her band to stop playing after she notices the group.

    “I’m gonna stop right here for a second, sorry,” Lambert explains to the crowd, as seen in the clip. “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the songs, [and] it’s pissing me off a little bit. I don’t like it ― at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country dang music!”

     

     

    After taking a second to compose herself, she added, “Shall we start again?”

    ‘I don’t like it – at all. We’re here to hear some country music, and I’m singing some country damn music!’

     

    She estimated that the whole ordeal lasted about 20 seconds and noted that she didn’t think she and her friends were being distracting while taking the photo.

    Immediately following the incident, Barnes said she and one of the four friends decided to stay behind and try to enjoy the rest of the concert.

    However, she no longer considers herself a fan of Lambert.

    “It would kind of be awkward to go to another concert of hers,” she said, adding that she paid a few thousand dollars for her seat in the VIP section of Planet Hollywood’s Bakkt Theater.
