Miranda Lambert faced backlash after calling out a fan during her Vegas residency. While performing “Tin Man,” Lambert paused her concert to scold a fan for taking a selfie, saying, “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song… We’re here to hear some country music tonight.” The audience cheered, showing support for Lambert’s stance.
Later, Lambert highlighted another fan’s T-shirt reading, “Shoot tequila, not selfies,” which some interpreted as her doubling down on her criticism. This sparked more controversy online, with social media users accusing her of shaming loyal fans. One Twitter user commented, “Way to embarrass and shame your loyal fans who adore you.”
The fan involved, Adela Calin, said the selfie took “30 seconds at most” and expressed feeling “appalled” by Lambert’s actions. “It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me,” Calin said, emphasizing that she and her friends were just trying to capture a memory.
