Miranda Lambert Says Her Vegas Show 'Raised a Little Hell' Amid Fan's Concert Selfie Backlash

The country star has wrapped one leg of her 'Velvet Rodeo' show before it's set to kick back up in November.

Miranda Lambert isn't afraid of a bit of trouble, as the singer proudly declared she "raised a little hell" during her Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency. 

The "If I Was a Cowboy" singer recently wrapped her latest string of shows at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino's Zappos Theater, celebrating the occasion with a post on Instagram. 

"That’s a wrap on Velvet Rodeo Round 4 and we raised a little hell. See y’all back in Vegas this November & December 💙✨" she wrote alongside a carousel of performance images. 

Lambert most recently made headlines over a divisive on-stage incident, in which she scolded a group of fans who stood up together to pose for a selfie during the show.

The 39-year-old country star stopped her concert while she was in the middle of singing her 2016 song, "Tin Man," and pointed out two fans in the crowd, saying, "These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. It's pissing me off a little bit."

The comment received a mixture of cheers and boos, though it was not clear whether those were focused on the fans in question or Lambert herself. 

"We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music," Lambert declared, before saying, "Shall we start again?"

As she began to sing "Tin Man" a second time, several fans were seen exiting the venue and one was heard saying, "Let's go, come on, you don't do that to fans."

The move drew both support from fans as well as a great deal of backlash from critics who slammed Lambert for her behavior.

Lambert has not publicly commented on the backlash, which also took place in the comments section on her own Instagram page

However, she did stop her show again on Saturday to call out one fan's supportive style statement.

"Her shirt says, 'Shoot tequila, not selfies,'" Lambert announced on stage with a smile as the audience erupted into cheers, eliciting a chuckle from the singer.

"She did it, I didn't!" Lambert added with a laugh, before telling the fan, "That's bada**!"

Lambert also accepted a small mini-bottle of tequila from the fan, and took a swig on stage after giving cheers and continuing on with the show.
