Miranda Lambert Stops Concert Again to Call Out Fans Causing Drama
View Date:2024-12-23 23:05:25
Miranda Lambert doesn’t want anyone staying in to fight at her concert.
Instead, she wants them staying out all night and paying the proper attention to the stage, she reminded the crowd at Montana’s Under the Big Sky Festival July 13.
“Are we done with our drama yet?” Miranda asked the crowd, pointing to a specific area, as seen in a video shared to social media. “Fighting is not okay. And it’s always the girls. We get crazy. Cheers everybody, I’m gonna wait it out.”
Immediately prior, the 40-year-old also called out the audience at large for not paying attention.
“I can see your head is not turned the right way which is this way,” she said, pointing at herself. “So if you came to visit, you can do it somewhere else. If you came to sing and hear some country music, and drink some beer and raise some hell, then we’re doing that tonight. Are we clear?”
The callout caused mixed reactions on social media, with believing the “Somethin’ Bad” singer’s actions were inappropriate.
“If I spend my own money to go to a show I’ll take a nap if I feel like it…what does it matter to her?!?!” one user wrote in the TikTok’s comment section, while another added, “We left before she performed … used to love her. Didn’t feel like getting yelled at haha.”
There were also others, however, who supported Miranda’s callout.
“I wish people appreciated the music as much as they appreciate their phones and what not… enjoy the moment,” a third user wrote while another fan added, “LET THE QUEEN SPEAK!!! Idc I love her.”
And as another TikTok user pointed out, this is not the first time Miranda has hit pause mid-show to call out fan behavior.
Almost exactly a year ago, the country singer stopped during her performance of “Tin Man” during her Las Vegas residency to address a group of fans who were taking a selfie.
“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song," Miranda was seen saying in a TikTok from the July 2023 concert, as she pointed to fans in the crowd. "It's pissing me off a little bit."
She added, "We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music."
Yet while many fans could be heard cheering in the video, a few fans could be seen exiting the venue after Miranda resumed singing, one of them shouting, “Come on, you don't do that to fans."
Following the viral incident, Adela Calin came forward as one of the concertgoers who’d been called out, telling NBC News she was “appalled” by Miranda’s comment.
"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 continued. "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."
Adela further explained that she and her group had tried to take a picture before the show started but hadn’t been able to get “one good picture” due to lighting.
"We were so excited," she recalled. "Because I think we had the best seats in the house in the whole theater."
