A Pause in the Performance
Miranda Lambert’s Las Vegas concert took an unexpected turn when she stopped singing her song “Tin Man” to address a group of fans.
“I’m gonna stop right here for a sec, I’m sorry,” Lambert said in a video that’s now circulating on TikTok.
“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. It’s pissing me off a little bit.”
A Call for Authentic Engagement
Lambert’s frustration was clear as she continued, “We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music,” before starting the song over again.
Her words were a call to action for fans to fully engage in the live music experience rather than focusing on selfies.
The Fans’ Reaction
Some concertgoers decided to leave the show following the incident. Adela Calin, one of the women taking pictures, shared her feelings with “Good Morning America.”
“She said these girls are more interested in taking selfies and then she said sit down,” Calin explained.
A Teacher’s Scolding?
Calin continued to describe the incident, saying, “I thought, I feel like I’m being back in school and me and my friends did something that annoyed the teacher and she scolded us so she told us to sit down.”
A Shift in Energy
“Everybody was having such a great time. We would stand up at times and dance. It was great energy,” Calin said. “But after that happened it was just, um, it was not the same.”
The incident clearly had an impact on the atmosphere of the concert.
Divided Opinions
While some attendees applauded Lambert’s stance against excessive phone usage at concerts, others felt she overstepped by singling out an individual.
The internet, too, has been divided over the incident.
“Let’s go. You don’t do that to fans,” one attendee said.
No Further Comment from Lambert
A representative for Lambert told ABC News overnight that the singer had “no statement to add.”
