The tongue-lashing from Miranda Lambert has stirred online debate about whether concert attendees should take selfies during a performance.
Popular country singer Miranda Lambert offended several fans at her Las Vegas show on Sunday when she paused her set to scold a group of women for taking a selfie.
As Lambert, 39, performed her ballad Tin Man, she abruptly stopped singing to tell the crowd that a group of women posing for a picture were “pissing me off.”
Lambert complained the women were more concerned with taking their selfie than her music.
“I don’t like it at all!” Lambert chastized as concertgoers both booed and applauded the outburst.
She waved her hand at the group of women to sit and stay. Lambert and her band then restarted the song.
Lambert has not commented publicly on the situation.
The scolding from Lambert has inspired fierce debate about whether concert attendees should take selfies during a performance. Some in Lambert’s camp have argued an artist is owed respect and attention during their show.
