Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Which, by the way, she could stand to step away from the trough a little bit.

There are 32 links. Is this multiple choice?

I'm not sure "Bedwetter" is the appropriate caption in this case. Filming an artist performing onstage is one thing but standing in the front row taking selfies seems selfish and disrespectful - not to mention distracting. If they were embarrassed for being called out maybe they needed a wake-up call. At least they didn't throw a phone at her...

Primadonna. It's no wonder Blake left her.

I am a musician and have played in front of large crowds many times. Unless I was in a bar, I would have been annoyed by this as well, so I can relate to ML on this one. It's an annoying distraction.... but so is her music.

Good for her. Too many people are busy social media'ing during concerts instead of listening to the music.

Who?

In the words of Peter Griffin, "Who the hell cares?"

Ding ding ding!
Here is your gossip blog content!
Celeb tabloid garbage!

She had already gotten their money. What else were they good for? They just shower how a big of a looser they were. Didn't get to hear her sing and couldn't get their money back.

Question: who is Miranda Lambert and why is everyone talking about her?

They paid to be there so their experience should be whatever they want it to be (within reason of course)

10:25, lighten up. It's a welcome distraction from the Jackson "You Can't Fix Stupid" series of events.

Is this Lambert one of those State Fair acts I'd never heard of?

I vote with 10:11 on all counts.

I also applaud her for calling out this behavior.

"Which, by the way, she could stand to step away from the trough a little bit."

OK - so it wasn't my imagination........

I think I saw her in the Jackson Coliseum 15 - 20 years ago.

So does Miranda's fame/talent give her allowance to call these brats out?

I'm just curious if the pro-Miranda crowd would be equally ok with a janitor or a server embarrassing their kids if they are obstructing traffic for photo ops?

I personally loathe this practice and wish all artist would ban it, but I don't particularly advocate for an employee (Miranda) shaming her employer (the ticket holders) if they are not blocking the view or behaving in manner that affects others.

The cost of concert tickets prevents me from partaking these days, and I have not studied the particulars that led to this reaction so I doubt it really affects me regardless.

The "doing it for the 'gram" mindset of people these days is obnoxious and distracting to the rest of us just trying to enjoy ourselves. Posting pictures to make it look like your redneck ass is some A-lister when we all know that "private jet" is Contour Air out of Greenville, and that yacht is a dolphin cruise out of Orange Beach. Or acting like you spent the week on 30A when we all know you're at the Sandestin Hilton on a work trip. Sit down, you're not fooling anyone but the uninformed.

Eh, people pay for expensive tickets and then cheer and kiss her butt. Me thinks she protest waaaaaay too much. A few billion people on the planet would gladly trade places with her.

To me, the whole "look at me" element of social media is a plea for attention and narcissistic. Regardless, there is a time and place for things, and doing the phone selfie thing in the middle of a heartfelt ballad is in poor taste as well as inconsiderate to the artist. A true fan would've been embarrassed. But, in true GenZ fashion, they double-down on their behavior, via social media of course.

Ok maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see the big deal about taking the selfies. It’s always said that when taking pics on vacay or wherever, don’t just take a pic of the scenery, show yourself in front of it. I know of course she’s not scenery, but I would want to capture a pic of myself AT the event, not just a photo of her on the stage. If I’m on the front row of a concert, I think I’d want to take a fun selfie of myself with the star in the background to show folks how close I was. Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me and I don’t see why the person on the stage should get so annoyed.

I think Miranda needs to pipe down, sing her stupid-ass songs and thank The good Lord people are still paying these outrageous prices to support her ridiculous lifestyle. Limited time only, ya' self-absorbed cow.

Front row selfies have replaced yelling requests to play "Freebird" between songs?

All righty then!

A Gen Y girl has to get "likes" and "shares" on social media or the world will come to an end.

"to show folks how close I was"

Generally speaking, that's the part that annoys people - making everything about you.

No wonder he left her for Gwen Stefani. Hotter and way more fun

What's Miranda's problem. They bought a ticket to the show, they can take a selfie if they want. They paid for that priviledge. Miranda sounds like she's got some kind of ego problem.

They were using flashes and that irritates every performer to no end. People can say I paid for my ticket I can do what I want. Well, not so fast. That artist is performing and you are paying to see her performance, not for the right to act like a fool or mistreat the artist. No different than the college students who say they pay the professor's salary so they can act a fool in class or do what they want. Artist pours his or her heart and soul into the work, then goes out there and well, while you're performing, They are clowning around on the front row with their flashes on.

Went to see Miss Saigon in New Orleans a few years ago. Idiot next to me start taking pictures with his flash during the performance. Very rude and distracting.

"Miss Saigon in New Orleans"

I've seen her too, you gotta pay extra to take pics.

I can argue for or against both sides here.
I think pic taking kids is annoying and I think snooty condescending "artists" are annoying. Also think taking a pic at a concert is not the end of the world, and that the artist pointing out the annoyance is not going to ruin their lives.


If she wants to prevent this, then she should make her shows phoneless (I've been to several shows that were and it was great)

But it also means no viral Tik Toc videos shared of the performance which is free publicity for her.
