Miranda Lambert gives her all during concerts — and she wants her audience to do the same. After pausing mid-song to scold a group of fans for taking selfies during her Las Vegas residency on Sunday, July 17, Lambert faced backlash from both concertgoers — some of whom exited the venue after her remarks — as well as music fans on social media.
Meanwhile, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly that Lambert’s remarks were more about respect for the performer while wanting fans to live in the moment. “Miranda has been an entertainer for most of her life and feels like there is a level of respect that is expected when somebody is on stage.
She understands fans are there to have fun, but she hopes people focus more on the show and being in the moment than using the opportunity to promote social media,” the insider says, adding, “Miranda is, and always has been, incredibly grateful for her fans and she feels blessed to have such dedicated followers.”
Lambert sang several lines of her hit “Tin Man” on Saturday before stopping to call out several fans in the audience for snapping shots of themselves.
