Miranda Lambert has not shown any remorse for addressing a fan during her residency in Las Vegas, despite receiving considerable backlash. While performing “Tin Man,” she paused to admonish a fan who was preoccupied with taking a selfie. Lambert remarked, “It’s frustrating that these girls are more interested in their selfies than the song.” She emphasized that the audience is there to enjoy country music.
The crowd responded positively to Lambert’s remarks, prompting the fan to quickly put her phone away. Lambert humorously noted, “She did it, I didn’t!” while also highlighting another fan at a different show who wore a shirt that read, “Shoot tequila, not selfies.” This incident led to further criticism, with some accusing her of shaming her supporters.
Adela Calin, the fan involved in the selfie incident, articulated her perspective following Lambert’s disparaging comments. She emphasized that the photo was taken briefly before they took their seats, likening the experience to being scolded as a child. Calin felt unjustly characterized as immature while they were merely trying to capture a memorable moment.
