00:23 the country star's attention on July 22nd for wearing a t-shirt that reads "Shoot Tequila,

00:29 not selfies."

01:06 stopping her July 15th concert to criticize fans she thought were taking selfies.

01:11 As seen in a video circulating online at the time, the 39-year-old said,

01:34 The 43-year-old continued, "It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding

01:38 me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place.

01:42 I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature, and vain.

01:46 But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture."

01:51 The whole debacle was even the topic of conversation on the July 18th episode of The View, with

01:56 Sunny Hostin saying this, "The VIP section that they were in are $757.

02:01 I'm gonna take as many selfies as I want if I pay $757.

02:26 July 19th interview on Odyssey's Mercedes in the Morning, saying, "Miranda, get over

02:31 it, baby.

02:32 They're fans.

02:35 The way people choose to interact with that art, or engage it, or appreciate it, is up

02:40 to them.

02:41 You gotta let the fans do what they wanna do.

02:42 What, we got rules?"

02:44 He then added, "I have nothing unkind to say about her.

02:47 I wish her the best.
