Singer Miranda Lambert performed on July 15, 2023, at her Las Vegas show. During the performance, a woman and her friends stood up to take a group photo.

Lambert was singing "Tin Man" when she saw the group taking a photo. In a video shared on TikTok, the singer can be seen stopping midway while saying:

"I'm gonna stop right here for a sec. These girls are worried about a selfie and are not listening to the song, and it's pissing me off a bit."

The audience roared in support of Lambert when the video was taken. However, Calin, who was the target of Lambert's statement, has spoken out after the view went viral on TikTok with over 1.4 million views and 81,000 likes. Calin said she was appalled by Lambert's reaction to her and her friend's simple moment.

The social media influencer said she and her friends only took 30 seconds at most to take the picture. Calin said that immediately after taking the photo, they were going to sit down, but then Lambert called them out.

What Photo Did Lambert Attack Her Fans For?

Calin posted on Instagram the two pictures she and her friend were taking when Lambert called them out. In one of the pictures, Lambert can be seen singing in the background. The social media influencer and her friends looked gorgeous in the photos.

Calin wrote in the captions that while the six were taking the pictures, Lambert told them to sit down and not take any selfies. She added a horror emoji.

Calin said the singer was determined to make them look young, immature, and vain for taking pictures during a concert, yet they were grown women aged between 30 and 60.

Many people commented in support of these ladies and said Lambert was wrong to call them out. A person said Lambert's words were uncalled for but that she hoped the girls eventually enjoyed their night and the singer's performance. One person said:

"I hope you guys got a complete refund for being humiliated like that. That was so distasteful of her."

Another online user noted that Lambert had "show shamed" the girls and that as much as what the singer did wasn't fair, the six needed to deal with it and move on. However, many people advised Calin and her friend to ask for a refund because Lambert embarrassed them:

"Many artists know how to have FUN with it!! They'll take the phone and do a selfie with them!!! That's how you keep your fans…not by calling them out and humiliating them!!! 😡😡.”

An individual revealed that she was at the concert and sat not far from the ladies. She said she saw how Lambert humiliated the friends and how devastated they looked after she called them out. "It's so gross," the person added.

Some people told the ladies that they should ask Lambert to apologize to them for the stunt she pulled while the friends were taking a picture. They said taking a picture for a few seconds during a concert didn't make it right for the singer to embarrass her fans.

How Did Lambert React?

On July 18, 2023, Lambert posted her picture wearing a shirt that was partly written, "It takes balls." Fans who had been waiting for her to apologize to the ladies felt like the singer was taunting them with her new T-shirt.

These fans commented that Lambert had avoided apologizing to Calin and her friends because she felt what she did was right. "It takes balls to apologize," a person wrote. Another fan said Lambert was "selfish" for not allowing people to take pictures at her concert with their friends so that they could remember the moment later.

Another fan added that Lambert owed the girls an apology. She wrote partly, "It is absolutely disgraceful you calling out fans using their cell phones they paid big money for their tickets from now on before you come on stage, at least have the respect to tell your fans not to use their phones."

More fans told Lambert that they were disappointed in her. They said the singer seemed to have forgotten what it was like to interact with her fans before "fame and money ruined her." Another fan revealed that she would no longer support Lambert as much as she had been her fan for years.

Lambert still hasn't said anything directly to Calin and her friends. Calin said the singer was determined to make them look young, immature, and vain for taking pictures during a concert, yet they were grown women aged between 30 and 60.

However, as per Lambert's words, people in her concert have come to listen to country music, and they should do that when she is singing instead of focusing on taking pictures. This statement pissed off fans who walked out and may never attend her concert again.
