Miranda Lambert had to take a break from a show at Momentum Bank Ballpark in Midland, Texas, over the weekend when two female fans started fighting during a performance of her ballad “Tin Man.” In a TikTok video of the incident, Lambert is performing the song as an acoustic solo when she stops to ask if everyone is okay, fearing that a fan in the crowd may have fainted.

“Are you okay? Are you fighting?” she asked the women at the show on Saturday (June 29). “During this song? Because I’m going down there and you don’t want that today. We’re not doing that today.” The fight took place during a performance of the touching song from Lambert’s 2016 album The weight of these wingsin which Lambert tells the story Wizard of OzThe Tin Man with the defective heart is lucky to never be able to fall in love and have his heart explode into a million little pieces.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday (July 2), Lambert clarified that she has no problem with her fans dancing during her concert, but that if they don’t mind, she’d prefer if they just picked different songs to fight to. “If you guys want to fight at my shows, I’m in. Give ’em hell,” Lambert said in the clip. “I got five songs for you.”

The singer then suggested a handful of other songs from her catalog that might be better options for a girl-on-girl showdown. Among the tracks she suggested: “Fastest Girl in Town,” “Kerosene,” “Gunpowder and Lead,” “Little Red Wagon” and her recent single, “Wrangle.”

She also explained her rationale, adding, “Don’t do it during Tin Man. This is not the time,” she said in the video in which she wore a white cowboy hat, western shirt, and a jewelry box filled with turquoise rings and bracelets. “I know you can hear the shit talking because it’s a ballad. But this is not the time. So pick your moments. You have five songs. Look at the setlist and choose wisely.”

Fans also had some ideas in the comments, with recommendations including: “Mama’s Broken Heart,” “If I Was a Cowboy,” “Tequila Does,” and “The House That Built Me.”
