MIranda Lambertis laughing off her’No Selfies' scandalwith a shot of tequila.
After going viral last week for calling out fans for taking selfies while she was singing, the country artist, 39, stopped her Las Vegas show again on Saturday, but this time to laugh off the incident when she spotted a fan sporting a T-shirt in her support.
“Her shirt says ‘Shoot Tequila, Not Selfies,’ Lambertannounced to the crowdat Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino’s Bakkt Theater. “She did it, I didn’t!”
“That’s badass,” she added, laughing over the fan’s effort. Lambert then reached over and accepted a mini bottle of tequila, which she cracked open and took a swig from amid cheers from the audience, then offered the rest to her guitarist.

During her July 15 show at theMiranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeoresidency, the country singer, 39,stopped her show to give fans a piece of her mindwhen she noticed a group of concertgoers taking selfies instead of listening to the music.
“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry,” Lambert told the audience as she was starting to play her 2016 single “Tin Man.” “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.”
“It’s pissing me off a little bit,” continued thePalominosinger. “Sorry, I don’t like it. At all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music.”
Thesocial media influencerinvolved, Adela Calin, said that the country singer spotted the group taking a photo right before she stopped singing “Tin Man.” That’s when Lambert addressed the crowd.
“It was 30 seconds at most,” Calin toldNBC News. “We took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down.”
