Watch Miranda Lambert Kick Out Unruly Fan at Pistol Annies’ Ryman Concert
Miranda Lambert's a pro at handling crowds -- including the slightly unruly ones -- when she's onstage. During the Pistol Annies' Thursday night (Oct. 25) show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., Lambert refused to let one fan in particular ruin the show for the rest of the crowd ... even if that meant a personal escort out.
During "Cheyenne," a new song from the Pistol Annies' forthcoming album, Interstate Gospel, a fan at the front of the stage wasn't listening to security guards who were asking her to vacate the area. That's when Lambert took things (literally) into her own hands.
"I'm not gonna have you stealing our show tonight, honey. You're gonna have to go sit down," Lambert told the woman (quote via Taste of Country), before taking the fan by the hand and leading her out. In the video above, readers can see Lambert crouch down to speak with the fan, then walk her away from the stage, to cheers from the crowd and high-fives from her bandmates Angaleena Presley and Ashley Monroe.
Pistol Annies are celebrating the release of Interstate Gospel -- which is due out on Nov. 2 and is their first new album since 2013 -- with a trio of shows in Nashville, New York City and Los Angeles. Prior to officially announcing their new record, the Pistol Annies had been teasing new music for months, dropping hints in interviews and on social media, as well as appearing together at some of Lambert's shows.
