“I know you can hear the shit talking because it’s a ballad, but that’s not the time, so pick your times.”
Miranda Lambert took to TikTok to tell her fans they can fight one another during her shows, just not during her slow ballad “Tin Man.”
“If you want to fight at my shows, I’m all about it,” the country singer said on TikTok Wednesday. “Give ’em hell.”
She said she has five songs in her setlist that you can fight during: “Fastest Girl in Town,” “Kerosene,” “Little Red Wagon,” Wranglers,” “Gunpowder and Lead,” but fighting is off limits during “Tin Man.”
“It’s not the time,” she continued. “I know you can hear the shit talking because it’s a ballad, but that’s not the time, so pick your times. You’ve got five songs. Look at the setlist and choose wisely.”
Lambert seems to be addressing a fight that broke out Saturday during her Midland, Texas, concert. She stopped playing her song “Tin Man” to ask if they were fighting and added that she was “going to come down there.”
“And you don’t want that today,” she said while the crowd cheered. “We’re not doing that today.”
It’s not the first time she has had to stop playing “Tin Man.” Last year, she scolded fans for taking selfies during the song.
“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, sorry,” Lambert said. “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the songs, [and] it’s pissing me off a little bit. I don’t like it ― at all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country dang music!”
Adela Barnes, one of five women in the group scolded by Lambert, told HuffPost at the time that she felt like she “was back at school where a teacher calls me out and tells me to sit down because I did something bad.”
