Country music star Miranda Lambert is facing criticism after a recent performance at the Montana Festival, where she publicly reprimanded the crowd for not paying attention. A video of the incident has gone viral, sparking a heated debate among fans.
Lambert’s frustration was evident as she addressed the audience, pointing out those who weren’t focused on her performance. “I can see your head is not turned the right way,” she said, her southern twang and sharp tone making it clear she was annoyed.
Some fans cheered in support, but others were taken aback by her reaction. Lambert didn’t hold back, telling those who weren’t engaged to “visit somewhere else.” She reassured fans who were there to enjoy the music, saying, “If you came to sing and hear some country music and drink some beer, then we’re doing that tonight.”
Lambert also called out individuals causing a disturbance, saying, “Fighting is not okay… And it’s always the girls. We get crazy!” She attempted to lighten the mood with a joke and a toast.
The video sparked a wave of negative comments, with some fans sharing their own experiences of witnessing similar behavior at Lambert’s previous concerts. “This has always been her,” one person remarked. Others criticized her for not respecting her fans.
However, not everyone was upset. Some fans praised Lambert’s performance, calling her “amazing” and appreciating her honesty.
This isn’t the first time Lambert has made headlines for confronting her audience. She has a history of speaking her mind during performances, previously stopping a concert in Las Vegas to address selfie-taking fans.
The debate continues, with some defending Lambert’s right to expect engagement from her audience and others criticizing her approach as abrasive.
As the country music star faces backlash, her devoted fans remain loyal, appreciating her unapologetic attitude and commitment to her craft.
