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

Country music superstar Miranda Lambert has found herself at the center of a social media storm after a series of incidents involving concertgoers. The singer, known for her powerful vocals and outspoken personality, has faced criticism for her handling of these situations.

Last week, Lambert abruptly halted a performance to admonish a fan who was taking a selfie during her song “Tin Man.” In a video captured by a fellow audience member, Lambert can be heard saying, “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. Tonight, we’re here to listen to some country music. I’m performing some damn country music.”

While some fans applauded Lambert’s action, others criticized her for publicly shaming the fan. Many argued that taking a quick photo during a concert is a common practice and that Lambert’s reaction was excessive.

The controversy didn’t end there. At a subsequent show, Lambert noticed a fan wearing a t-shirt with the slogan “Shoot tequila, not selfies.” She jokingly pointed out the shirt to the audience, seemingly endorsing the message.

The incident has sparked further debate, with some fans praising Lambert’s sense of humor and others expressing concern about her attitude towards her audience. Critics argue that Lambert’s behavior is disrespectful and could alienate fans.

The fan who was called out by Lambert, Adela Calin, has since spoken out about the incident. Calin explained that she and her friends took a quick photo and were about to return to their seats when Lambert interrupted the performance. She expressed disappointment with Lambert’s public shaming and described the experience as humiliating.

As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how it will impact Lambert’s reputation and career. While some fans remain loyal to the singer, others have expressed their disapproval of her behavior.
