A woman who was called out by a singer for taking photos during a concert has hit back.
Footage emerged this week from a Miranda Lambert gig in Las Vegas recently, which showed her getting into it with some fans. Check it out:
In the clip, the country singer was just about to jump into a rendition of her hit tune 'Tin Man' when she spots something going on in the crowd.

Just a few seconds into the song, Lambert calls a halt to proceedings, telling her team to cut the music as she's not happy.
Addressing the individuals in the crowd, the 39-year-old singer says: "I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry.
"These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.
"It’s p**sing 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."
Ramping the crowd up, Lambert then asks: "Shall we start again?"
The room goes wild and the concert appears to continue as usual.
However, one of the women at the centre of the musical storm has now spoken out, offering her side of the story.
Speaking to NBC, Adela Calin said she and her friends were shocked by the outburst.
She said: "It felt like I 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.
“But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”
Calin also said that they were just getting a picture before sitting down, and couldn't understand the anger.
"It was 30 seconds at most," she said. "We took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down."
And there were plenty of others online who felt that the singer was a little out of line.
One person wrote: "But maybe they were taking the selfies or videos to remember the occasion. I think she was out of line."
Another added: "Imagine it was their favourite song and they were taking a video and were excited."
A third said: "Guess she doesn’t realise those selfie taking fans is how she became who she is and how she affords the clothes are her back, she should think a bit."
Others, however, backed her.
"There’s all the time in the world to partake in those activities during her rowdier, more up-tempo numbers but during her sacred ballads just shut up and listen," said one fan.
UNILAD has contacted Miranda Lambert's representative for comment.
