Montana — Country music star Miranda Lambert took a firm stand against unruly behavior during her headlining performance at Montana’s Under the Big Sky Festival over the weekend. Lambert paused her set to address fans who appeared to be involved in a disturbance, emphasizing that her concerts are meant for enjoyment, not conflict.
“I can see your head is not turned the right way which is this way,” Lambert asserted, pointing to herself. “If you came to visit, you can do it somewhere else. If you came to sing some country music, drink some beer, and raise some hell, we’re doing that tonight.”
Expressing disdain for the disruption, Lambert added, “Fighting is not OK. And it’s always the girls. We get crazy! Cheers, everybody. I’m gonna wait it out.”
Known for her lively performances and fan interaction, Lambert has previously intervened during shows to halt altercations among audience members. In late June, while performing her ballad “Tin Man,” she halted a fight and humorously called for police assistance to remove the disruptors.
Reflecting on the incident days later on Instagram, Lambert maintained her stance against fighting at her concerts but light-heartedly acknowledged moments when fans might be more inclined to show spirited behavior.
Amidst co-headlining performances with Billy Strings and Turnpike Troubadours, Lambert’s message at the Montana festival underscored her commitment to creating a fun and safe environment for all attendees. Her proactive approach to maintaining concert decorum resonated with fans and underscored her dedication to ensuring an enjoyable experience for everyone.
