Miranda Lambert has stirred up quite the controversy following her performance at a Montana festival on July 14. A video taken by someone in the crowd captured the country singer stopping mid-performance to scold certain audience members. Lambert, dressed in her signature denim outfit and cowboy hat, addressed the crowd in a stern manner, calling out individuals for their behavior during her set, which led to some attendees walking out.

One guest who left shared their frustration, saying, “I left,” with others in the crowd agreeing. Another concertgoer voiced their displeasure, saying, “This is so bad!” The incident even sparked a viral comment on TikTok, where one user remarked, “You should appreciate your supporters more. You wouldn’t be working at Dairy Queen without them.”

However, not everyone was upset with Lambert’s actions. Some fans stood by her, praising her directness. One fan who attended the show said, “Honestly, she was amazing. We were in the front row and enjoyed every moment.” Another added, “She is so honest. It’s something many of us need more of.”

This isn’t the first time Lambert has faced criticism for her behavior at live shows. During a previous performance in Las Vegas, she halted her rendition of “Tin Man” to reprimand a group of women who were taking selfies instead of paying attention to the music. Lambert expressed her frustration, saying, “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, and it’s pissed me off a little bit.”

Her blunt approach has drawn mixed reactions online. While some have labeled her actions as “out of line,” others have applauded her for her no-nonsense attitude and authenticity on stage.
