Miranda Lambert praises fan’s ‘badass’ ‘Shoot Tequila, Not Selfies’ shirt after co<i></i>ncert backlash

Miranda Lambert stopped her Las Vegas residency — again — to praise a fan’s “badass” shirt.

The country singer, who called out a group of concertgoers for taking a selfie during a show last week, gave a shout-out to an attendee after spotted a slogan tee in the crowd Saturday night.

“Her shirt says, ‘Shoot tequila, not selfies,’” Lambert shouted as the audience cheered and roared with laughter.

“She did it, I didn’t,” she added with a chuckle.

As the crowd at Planet Hollywood continued applauding, the entertainer was heard telling the fan that her shirt was “badass.”

She even reached into the audience to accept a tiny bottle of tequila from the concertgoer before unscrewing the cap and taking a swig.

The “Bluebird” hitmaker offered the remainder of the shooter to her bandmate, who downed it in one gulp.

The upbeat fan interaction follows Lambert’s now-viral meltdown over a group of fans taking photos while she was singing her hit “Tin Man.”

“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry,” she said to her pianist onstage earlier this month.

“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song,” she continued.

“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.”

One TikTok video, which has since racked up almost 4 million views, showed several people walk out of the concert in protest.

“Let’s go — you don’t do that to fans,” one woman could be heard saying to her companions as they filed out of the auditorium.

Adela Calin, one of the fans Lambert lambasted, spoke out after the incident went viral, telling NBC News that she felt like she “was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place.”

“I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain,” she went on.

“But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”

The Texas native has not addressed the backlash she’s received from fans and ignored the incident on social media altogether.

Even rapper LL Cool J was asked to weigh in on the drama, and he told the country superstar to “get over it.”

“So, your job as an artist is to create art. The way people choose to interact with that art or engage in it and appreciate it is up to them,” he said on the “Mercedes in the Morning” podcast.

Whoopi Goldberg, on the other hand, was more sympathetic.

She walked off “The View” set during a debate over the incident to prove her point that the fans shouldn’t have been taking selfies.

”They paid money for the tickets, they came to see her, so she’s singing,” the “Sister Act” star, 67, argued.

“[Give] at least a little respect … acknowledge that you can see her [and] she can see you too.”
