Miranda Lambert Calls Out Fans for Taking Selfies During Concert
Miranda Lambert recently called out fans for taking selfies during her concert. This behavior has been criticized by some artists, who argue that it is disrespectful to the performer and to other fans who are trying to enjoy the show.
Country singer Miranda Lambert recently scolded fans for taking selfies during her concert. Lambert stopped her set to address the issue, saying that she didn't like it and that fans were more interested in taking pictures than listening to her music.
"These girls are worried about their selfies and not listening to the song, and it's pissing me off a little bit," Lambert said. "I don't like it, at all. We're here to hear some country music tonight."
Lambert's comments come at a time when there has been a growing trend of fans taking selfies at concerts. This behaviour has been criticized by some artists, who argue that it is disrespectful to the performer and to other fans who are trying to enjoy the show.
In addition to Lambert, other artists who have spoken out against selfie-taking at concerts include Adele, Pink, and Bebe Rexha. Rexha was even hit with a phone by a fan who was trying to take a selfie with her.
Experts say that the blurring of online and real-life boundaries may be contributing to this behaviour. In the past, fans would have to wait until after a concert to take pictures with their favourite artists. But now, with the rise of social media, fans can share photos and videos of themselves with artists in real-time. This can create a sense of urgency for fans to take selfies at concerts, even if it means disrupting the show for other people.
"The disregard for personal space and the willingness to inflict harm indicates a significant breakdown in empathy and understanding," licensed psychologist Nathan Brandon told USA TODAY last month. "It is important to ask questions about why these attacks are happening and what underlying causes or motivations may be leading people to act out in this way."
Lambert's comments have sparked a debate about the etiquette of taking selfies at concerts. Some people believe that it is perfectly acceptable to take a few pictures, while others believe that it is rude and disrespectful. Ultimately, it is up to each individual fan to decide how they want to behave at a concert.
