- Miranda Lambert halted her performance to address fans who were taking selfies.
- There is a growing conflict between artists and fans regarding concert etiquette.
- Unfortunately, some artists have even been physically attacked while on stage.
Concerts have become a battlefield where fans and artists clash over the rules of engagement and etiquette. This conflict has escalated to the point where physical altercations have occurred during performances.
Last weekend, Miranda Lambert found herself in the spotlight when she interrupted her song “Tin Man” to call out several concertgoers who were more interested in taking selfies than listening to the music. In a video shared on TikTok, Lambert expressed her frustration, stating, “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. It’s pissing me off a little bit.” The reactions from the crowd were mixed, with some supporting Lambert and others criticizing her. This incident sparked a debate among commenters on TikTok.
In February 2022, Mitski, another artist, expressed her discontent with fans recording significant portions of her performances. She felt that being treated as content rather than a live experience was draining. The backlash she faced was so intense that her management team decided to delete the announcement. Similar complaints have been voiced by artists such as Beyoncé, Adele, and Jack White. However, Lambert’s critique comes at a time when artists are not only battling with cell phone use but also experiencing physical assaults during their shows. Bebe Rexha, Drake, Steve Lacy, and even Pink have all been targeted by audience members throwing objects or engaging in disruptive behavior.
Concertgoers no longer simply want to watch the show; they strive to be the center of attention. While being called out for taking a selfie does not compare to physical assault, these incidents highlight the growing tension between artists and fans and the struggle for control over the concert space.
