Whoopi Goldberg Walks Off Set Debating Miranda Lambert Selfie

The ladies of ABC's The View disagreed on the Miranda Lambert selfie controversy, where Lambert called out fans taking a selfie while singing her song "Tin Man" at a Las Vegas show. Fans all over the internet have been torn, with some supporting Miranda and others not so much.

EGOT winner and The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg supports Lambert's move to stop the song and call out the fans. Her co-host Sunny Hostin did not agree, telling Goldberg, "I'm not split on this at all," adding that she would take as many selfies as she wanted if she paid $757 for the concert ticket.

Whoopi said that she thinks what Lambert did was warranted, saying, "If they paid money for the tickets, they came to see her. So if she's singing, at least show a little respect." Goldberg said that she (Lambert) could see that the fans were ignoring her performance and compared it to a lounge singer that no one was listening to. She said, "That's what it's like for her."

Goldberg then walked off the set, saying, "I'm leaving you all." Hostin asked where she was going, and Whoopi said, "I want to take a picture with this marvelous woman who is 91."

As we reported after it happened, Miranda stopped her show in Las Vegas over the weekend when she began to sing "Tin Man," and some fans up front were bothering her. One fan posted the tense moment where Miranda can be seen tapping her foot as she spoke on TikTok.

Lambert says in the video, "I'm gonna stop right here for a second; I'm sorry." She then looks down in the first few rows and points, "These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song."

She continued, "It's pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don't like it. At all. We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music."

Many fans were unhappy with the interaction with the crowd, and one fan wrote; I would have gone home after that." While several fans did defend her, with one saying, "I kinda like this," another fan commented, "What a Diva." Watch the TikTok video here.

Country music has its fair share of drinking songs, songs about drinking, and songs about what drinking can do to you. Actually, there may be fewer songs in country music that don't mention the drink than songs that do.

Tim McGraw is the latest country star to have a song about drinking; Tim's new tune is called "Hey Whiskey." Its release closely follows Luke Bryan's new single, "But I Got A Beer In My Hand." It's not the first song McGraw has released about whiskey. In 2008, he released a single called "Whiskey And You."

McGraw's new song's lyrics include, "I let you stay, you made her leave / You made me say things I don't mean / To the only girl that ever made me choose / I gave you everything I had / Went to hell and can't get back / The only thing I couldn't stand to lose / Hey whiskey / Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?"

McGraw recently announced details on his brand new album Standing Room Only, which will be released on August 25. McGraw also announced a new song from the project today (6/23) called "Hey Whiskey."

Standing Room Only will feature 13 new tracks produced by Tim and his longtime producing partner Byron Gallimore. The new album marks McGraw's first new record since 2020's Here On Earth, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart.

Tim said in a statement, "As an artist, I always want to dig deeper and get better every time I make a new record – it's a big part of what drives me, and I really believe this is one of the best projects we've made. I've been working on this album since 2020, and this collection of songs is some of the most emotional, thought-provoking, and life-affirming music I've ever recorded."

He added, "I'm excited to have 'Hey Whiskey' out so fans can start hearing more of what we're working on – and maybe even more before August…"

While this list was more challenging than most to whittle down, we share what we believe are country music's best songs about drinking.
