Miranda Lambert wasn’t embarrassed by a recent concert incident.
In a fan’s TikTok video that has since gone viral, the country star has a bra thrown at her during a show at the Lea County Fairgrounds in Lovington, New Mexico.
While Lambert, 41, was in-between songs when a black bra was tossed onstage. She took the moment in stride, cracking jokes about the undergarment while holding it up for all to see.

“Who threw this bra up here? Okay. It’s been a while, but thank you,” she quipped, holding up the undergarment with two fingers. “It ain’t my size, I’m gonna hang it right here.” Lambert placed the bra on her microphone stand.
“It’s perfect timing because this one’s for the ladies tonight,” Lambert continued, transitioning seamlessly into her 2011 song “Baggage Claim.” At one point during the song, she shouted out, “Where are my girls tonight?” to the crowd, who cheered her on.
Fans praised her way of embracing a moment that could startle someone onstage. “Awesome reaction. I love her easy going way of handling it,” one person wrote. Others posted laughing emojis and heart emojis showing their support.
In recent years, musicians have been victims of fans throwing objects at them during performances. Luke Bryan was hit in the face with a soft plush ball during the finale of his set at the North Dakota State Fair in July.
In an August interview on the Bobby Bones Show, he didn’t mince his words. “My official statement is people throw things at artists and they’re idiots. It’s the deterioration of the moral fabric of how your ass ought to act,” Bryan, 49, said at the time.
This isn’t the first time Lambert has called out her audience’s antics. In July 2024, she joked about when fights can happen during her concerts in an Instagram video.
“If you want to fight at my shows, I’m all about it. Give ’em hell,” Lambert addressed her fans in the clip. “I’ve got five songs for you. ‘Fastest Girl in Town,’ ‘Kerosene,’ ‘Little Red Wagon,’ ‘Wranglers,’ ‘Gun Powder & Lead.’ Don’t do it during ‘Tin Man.’ That’s not the time.”
“I know you can hear the s— talking ’cause it’s a ballad, but that’s not the time. So pick your times.”

Two weeks later, she scolded her fans for not paying attention and then for fighting during her performance at Montana’s Under the Big Sky Festival.
“I can see your head is not turned the right way, which is this way,” she told the crowd, pointing to herself.
“So, if you came to visit, you can do it somewhere else,” Lambert continued. “If you came to sing and hear some country music, and drink some beer and raise some hell, then we’re doing that tonight. Are we clear?”

The “Wranglers” singer then pointed to a specific area in the audience, where members of the crowd appeared to be fighting. “Are we done with our drama yet?” she asked.
“… Fighting is not okay,” Lambert continued. “And it’s always the girls. We get crazy! Cheers, everybody. I’m gonna wait it out.”
