Country music star Miranda Lambert stops mid-song to scold fans: ‘It’s pissing me off’

Country music singer Miranda Lambert stopped her Planet Hollywood show in Las Vegas over the weekend after getting irritated by a group of fans taking selfies.

“I’m gonna stop right here for a sec — I’m sorry,” Lambert said, bringing the show to a halt mid-song.

“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, it’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music,” she told the audience.

“Shall we start again?” she asked, after motioning for the fans to sit down.

Here’s another angle:

According to some reports, Ticketmaster seats in the vicinity where the fans were taking selfies were in the $180-$250 range, and while many in the audience cheered Lambert’s remarks, others on social media felt like Lambert was overreacting.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter, including a tweet showing how country music superstar Carrie Underwood handles selfies during her show:
