TikTok is rallying behind two fans who were publicly shamed by country singer Miranda Lambert during her July 15 concert in Las Vegas.

The “Automatic” singer halted her concert mid-song after she saw two young women taking selfies in the crowd.

“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry,” Lambert said. “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.”

A video of her behavior was caught on camera by TikTok creator @redneckinvegas with the caption “Miranda said its My Show…”

“Imagine it was their favorite song and they were taking a video and we’re excited…” one person said.

“Who else heard the people in the background leave and say ‘you don’t do that to fans, let’s go,’” someone pointed out.

“Wow. my daughter and I attend concerts together and always take selfie to commemorate the occasion,” one person commented.

“Is she going to call people out for going to the bathroom too? That was so uncalled for…if I paid…I will take as many pics as I want,” another said.
