Miranda Lambert says taking selfies during a concert is a no-no.
Lambert had just begun to perform her 2018 ACM Song of the Year winner “Tin Man” as part of her current Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo The Las Vegas Residency on Saturday night when she noticed some ladies near the front stage who seemed more engrossed with talking selfie photos, rather than enjoying the time.
“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry,” Lambert told the audience gathered at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino at Zappos Theater.
“These girls are worried about their selfies and not listening to the song, and it’s p—ing me off a little bit. I don’t like it, at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight.”
“Shall we start again?” she asked the audience shortly after, and the tempo picked up.
Earlier this month, Adele berated the incident of fans throwing objects at artists while on set.
“Have you noticed how people are, like, forgetting show etiquette at the moment, throwing (things) onstage? Have you seen it?” Adele said, later joking, “I dare you, dare you to throw something at me.”
This was after a fan threw his phone at Bebe Rexha’s Face while she was performing at a show. She later showed up with a bandaged red eye, saying she was ok. The assailant who admitted committing the act said he did so thinking it would be funny.
In addition to the residency, Lambert recently launched her firstcookbook,Y’all Eat Yet? Welcome to the Pretty B*tchin’ Kitchen. She also performed during CMA Fest in June, welcoming Avril Lavigne, Elle King, and Leon Bridges to join her at various points during her performance.
