One of the fans who Miranda Lambert called out for taking a group photo at a recent show has accused the singer of trying to make her look "young, immature, and vain."

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

"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.

Speaking to NBC News, Adela Calin, one of the women Lambert criticized, said she was "appalled" by the country star's behavior.

"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," she said. "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, 43, said the group — who were sat very close to the stage — had tried to take photos before the show started, but the lighting wasn't great. So, towards the end of the show, she asked a woman sitting behind them to take a snap of her and her friends.

"It was 30 seconds at most," she said. "We took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down."

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

The moment Lambert stopped her concert to hit out at Calin and her friends went viral on TikTok, amassing over 1.5 million views and 100,000 likes.

While the audience cheered in support of Lambert during the video, many users on TikTok criticized Lambert for her reaction.

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

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

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