- 1:20Speaker 3: testing off a little bit.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Again. I think she was a little off kid and
- 1:29Speaker 1: she just used that to get back on key. But
- 1:31Speaker 1: that's just me.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Now there's a part of me who goes to concert
- 1:33Speaker 2: sometimes and performances, and all I could think to myself
- 1:36Speaker 2: is why is everyone watching this through their phone? Why
- 1:39Speaker 2: can't people just ever enjoyed the moment? It used to
- 1:41Speaker 2: annoy me a lot until I realized me being annoyed
- 1:44Speaker 2: at them is causing me not to enjoy the moment.
- 1:47Speaker 2: See when we are at a live of being a
- 1:49Speaker 2: live show and folks is choosing to watch that show
- 1:51Speaker 2: through their phones.
- 1:52Speaker 1: They choosing to go live the whole show.
- 1:54Speaker 2: They want to sing their favorite songs with their friends
- 1:57Speaker 2: for their ig stories.
- 1:58Speaker 1: That's on them. I'm not about this.
- 2:00Speaker 2: It's been the whole show complaining about what they doing,
- 2:02Speaker 2: because then I personally won't be enjoying my moment. Now,
- 2:06Speaker 2: let's look at that from the perspective of the performer.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I'm Miranda Lambert. I'm performing. I notice a group of
- 2:12Speaker 2: girls taking a selfie in the crowd. It's two thousand
- 2:14Speaker 2: and three, mind you, everybody and their mother probably got
- 2:17Speaker 2: their phones out. But you are gonna stop your whole show,
- 2:20Speaker 2: interrupt the flow of everything. Never mind everybody else that's
- 2:23Speaker 2: actually engaged in joining you. You're gonna stop the flow
- 2:26Speaker 2: to shame kids for taking selfies at your concert.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Miranda, I know you only.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Thirty nine, but relax, grandma, Okay, this is a very
- 2:34Speaker 2: elderly annoyance.
- 2:35Speaker 1: All right.
- 2:35Speaker 2: I expect this type of behavior from Dolly Parton, But Miranda,
- 2:38Speaker 2: you're thirty nine.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Who's Dolly Pauton?
- 2:42Speaker 2: You really acting like a color and I know you
- 2:44Speaker 2: know better, all right, better cut it out. Man over
- 2:46Speaker 2: there acting like a little canary canary color, the canary
- 2:49Speaker 2: yellow colored over there?
- 2:50Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, Miranda, this is your error.
- 2:54Speaker 2: You should be more than used to this by now,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and to say it's pissing me off a little bit. Okay, Sorry,
- 2:59Speaker 2: I don't like it at all. We're here to sing
- 3:01Speaker 2: some country music and these girls are worried about their
- 3:04Speaker 2: selfie and not listening to the song. Maybe they loved
- 3:06Speaker 2: that song so much that they had to show their
- 3:08Speaker 2: followers that they are all together watching their favorite artists
- 3:12Speaker 2: singing their favorite song from that artist. That is nothing
- 3:16Speaker 2: to stop a show over and shame the folks who
- 3:18Speaker 2: paid good money to come watch you perform. Now, is
- 3:21Speaker 2: the customer always right? No, But the customer can always
- 3:24Speaker 2: make their own decisions. The customer can always make their
- 3:26Speaker 2: own choices. And guess what several fans chose to leave.
- 3:30Speaker 2: They chose to chuck the damn deuces. They decided to
- 3:32Speaker 2: exit the premisist because they came to a Miranda Lambert
- 3:35Speaker 2: show to do a lot of things, but be shamed
- 3:37Speaker 2: by Miranda Lambert is not one of them. To be
- 3:40Speaker 2: shamed by the person they paid money, good money to
- 3:42Speaker 2: see is not one of them.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Now.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Of course, these young ladies put their exit on social media. Okay,
