Country music singer Miranda Lambert stopped her Planet Hollywood show in Las Vegas over the weekend after getting irritated by a group of fans taking selfies.
“I’m gonna stop right here for a sec — I’m sorry,” Lambert said, bringing the show to a halt mid-song.
“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,” she told the audience.
“Shall we start again?” she asked, after motioning for the fans to sit down.

According to some reports, Ticketmaster seats in the vicinity where the fans were taking selfies were in the $180-$250 range, and while many in the audience cheered Lambert’s remarks, others on social media felt like Lambert was overreacting.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter, including a tweet showing how country music superstar Carrie Underwood handles selfies during her show:

Way to embarrass and shame your loyal fans who adore you. She could’ve poked fun and posed in the selfie and then encouraged them to be in the moment after that. Not cool

Most people can listen and take pictures at the same time.

Oh girl… let the girls take their selfie. Their ears are still working, they’re still listening. And they still paid however much money to see and support you. It’s not that deep Miranda…

Going to a concert is about creating an experience and a memory. If someone wants to take a picture to document that memory, they should be able to.
