At Miranda Lambert's concert at the Under the Big Sky Festival in Montana, it wasn't just the tunes that caught the audience's attention — it was her mid-performance pause, too. The country star, 40, isn't shy about keeping her concerts drama-free, and this weekend was no exception.
On Saturday, July 13, Lambert took a moment to address some concertgoers who seemed more focused on their own activities than her show. "I can see that your head is not turned the right way, which is this way," she said, pointing to herself. The moment, caught on a TikTok video, shows the "Somethin' Bad" singer calling out, "So, if you came to visit, you can do it somewhere else. If you came to sing and hear some country music and drink some beer and raise some hell, we're doing that tonight. Are we clear?"
The crowd roared back with cheers, affirming they were indeed there for the music and mayhem of a good country concert. "Are we done with our drama yet? Fighting is not OK," Lambert added, making it clear that the night was about enjoyment, not conflict.
Lambert's approach to live shows is straightforward: come for the music, or maybe don't come at all. This isn't new for her as she's known for calling out fans who detract from the shared experience of her shows. While performing last year in Las Vegas, she stopped mid-song to comment on audience members who appeared to be more interested in their selfies than her heartfelt rendition of "Tin Man."
"I'm gonna stop right here for a second, I'm sorry," the Grammy-winning artist said into the mic. "These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. It's pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don't like it. At all. We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music."
Reactions to Lambert's no-nonsense attitude are mixed. Some fans appreciate her dedication to maintaining the integrity of her performances. "Honestly, she was amazing. We were right up front and loved every second of it," commented one fan on TikTok. Others feel put off, suggesting that how they spend their time at a concert shouldn't be up for singer scrutiny. "If I spend my own money to go to a show I'll take a nap if I feel like it...what does it matter to her?!?!" another countered.
