During her Las Vegas show on Sunday, Miranda Lambert interrupted her performance of the ballad “Tin Man” to address fans who were busy taking selfies. In a momentary pause, the singer candidly explained her actions, candidly pointing out the distracting nature of selfie-taking amidst the heartfelt performance.
Now, an influencer has come forward, saying she was one of the people Lambert called out.
“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song,” Lambert says in the video. “It’s pissing me off a little bit.” The crowd cheers, and Lambert starts the song again.Since its upload on Monday, the video, captured by a fellow audience member, has garnered a staggering 2.4 million views on TikTok.
Las Vegas-based influencer Adela Calin, with over 17,000 Instagram followers, shared multiple concert photos. In a caption, she asserts that she was the individual Miranda Lambert was addressing. “These are the two pictures we were discussing when Miranda Lambert paused her concert and instructed us to sit down and refrain from taking selfies,” she stated in Monday’s post.
The images depict Calin alongside five other women, with Lambert standing in the background on the stage. Let the elegance of these visuals captivate your gaze.
Despite Lambert’s momentary distraction by a selfie, recent concerts have witnessed even more egregious misuse of phones. In a New York City performance earlier this month, Bebe Rexha endured injury when a phone was thrown at her, resulting in a visible black eye and laceration. A man named Nicolas Malvagna was apprehended and subsequently faced charges of assault for his actions.
