Miranda Lambert is under fire once again for her behavior at a recent music festival, sparking disappointment among many fans. This is not the first time the country music star has faced backlash for her actions on stage, and it seems her latest conduct has further alienated some concertgoers.
The incident occurred during her performance at the Montana Festival on July 14, where a video captured by an attendee showed Lambert reprimanding the crowd. The footage, which quickly spread across social media, shows the singer visibly frustrated with the audience. Dressed in a cowboy hat and a denim dress adorned with tassels, Lambert addressed the crowd directly, calling out those whose attention wasn’t focused on her performance.
In the video, Lambert can be heard saying, “I can see your head is not turned the right way, which is this way,” while pointing toward herself. Her southern twang and sharp tone made it clear that she was annoyed by the lack of attention. Some fans responded with cheers, but it was evident that others were caught off guard by her reaction.
As the moment unfolded, Lambert didn’t hold back. “So, if you came to visit, you can do it somewhere else,” she added, signaling that she wasn’t interested in entertaining those who weren’t fully engaged in the show. For fans eager to enjoy the performance, Lambert reassured them, saying, “If you came to sing and hear some country music and drink some beer […] then we’re doing that tonight.”
The country star’s frustration wasn’t just limited to inattentive audience members. She also called out individuals in the crowd who appeared to be causing a disturbance. “Are we clear?” Lambert asked while raising her hands, seemingly addressing people involved in some sort of scuffle. She made a lighthearted comment about it, saying, “Fighting is not ok […] And it’s always the girls. We get crazy!” Her tone shifted as she chuckled, trying to lighten the mood before raising her cup in a toast to the audience.
After raising her cup to signal a cheers, Lambert discovered her drink was empty. She promptly shook her cup toward the stage crew, requesting a refill. “Mine’s empty,” she mentioned, and within seconds, someone from her team replaced it with a new drink. “This looks like a good time for a drink y’all!” she shouted, arms stretched wide, as she attempted to move past the tension in the crowd.
The video, shared by a TikTok user, was accompanied by a caption asking for opinions: “Thoughts? 🤷🏻♀️ #mirandalambert #underthebigsky #whitefishmontana #countrymusic.” As expected, the comment section quickly filled with reactions, many of which were negative. “We left. As did LOTS of the crowd,” one attendee revealed. Another user called the situation “terrible,” while someone else commented, “I stopped liking Miranda for this exact reason.”
