Miranda Lambert, the renowned country music star, has once again made headlines for stopping her concert to address a fan’s behavior. This time, her actions have sparked a heated debate among her fans and critics alike.
During her recent performance in Las Vegas, Lambert abruptly halted her show to call out a fan who was taking a selfie. The fan, who had paid to attend the concert, was caught off guard as Lambert publicly scolded her for not paying attention to the music.
Lambert’s comments, although seemingly lighthearted, have been perceived as embarrassing and belittling by some. The fan in question, Adela Calin, has since spoken out about the incident, expressing her shock and disappointment at being publicly reprimanded.
Calin explained that she and her friends had taken a quick photo before returning to their seats, and that Lambert’s reaction was unwarranted. Calin’s account of the incident has sparked a wave of support from fans who believe that Lambert’s actions were uncalled for.

“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, it’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country… pic.twitter.com/sERBzalpBI

The controversy has also raised questions about the etiquette of taking photos at concerts. While some argue that it’s perfectly acceptable to capture memories of a live event, others believe that it can be distracting and disrespectful to the performer.
Lambert’s response to the backlash has been to appreciate a fan’s t-shirt that read, “Shoot tequila, not selfies.” However, this move has been seen by some as throwing salt on the wound, further fueling the controversy.
As the debate continues, it’s clear that Lambert’s actions have struck a chord with her fans and critics alike. While some applaud her for speaking her mind, others believe that she should have handled the situation with more tact and empathy.
