Miranda Lambert stopped singing mid-song to chastise several women taking selfies during her Las Vegas show on Saturday.

The moment Lambert called them out was captured on TikTok by @redneckinvegas and had over 1 million views and 60,000 likes as of Monday.

"Miranda said its My Show," the user captioned the video.

Representatives for Lambert did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Lambert is in Las Vegas for her residency, Velvet Rodeo The Las Vegas Residency at Planet Hollywood, which began in 2022 and, according to Billboard, will run "through the end of 2023."

In the video, the country singer, standing behind a microphone and wearing an embellished blue ensemble with gold cowboy boots, starts singing the lyrics of her 2016 song "Tin Man" before asking the pianist to stop playing.

"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."

"Sorry, I don't like it at all," she added while the crowd cheered in the background.

"We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music," Lambert continued.

She restarts the song after asking the audience, "Shall we start again?"

Despite the crowd's seemingly positive reaction to Lambert, TikTok users in the comments section didn't seem to side with the singer.

"But maybe they were taking the selfies or videos to remember the occasion. I think she was out of line," one commenter wrote.

Another user thought Lambert was wrong since the fans taking selfies made her "who she is."

"Imagine it was their favorite song and they were taking a video and we're excited," one person said.

Another commented that they attended one of Lambert's recent shows and said she "didn't even talk to our vegas audience" and appeared to be "in a mood." More people said they had similar experiences at previous Lambert concerts.

However, the comment section was not without its fair share of Lambert defenders.

"I had no problem with what she said. I grew up with parents that told me to live in the moment!" one person commented in defense of the singer.

"She just earned a new fan!" another added.
