Miranda Lambert’s Response to ‘Mean Tweets’ on Morgan Wallen Tour
Morgan Wallen’s highly anticipated I’m the Problem Tour has generated considerable excitement, especially with the announcement that the incredibly talented Miranda Lambert will be joining the lineup as an opener. Lambert, renowned as the most-awarded artist in ACM Awards history, is set to grace the stage for 11 shows during this extensive tour. However, this news has left some fans feeling uneasy about her role as an opener, given her esteemed status and past headlining achievements.
On February 4, Lambert took to Instagram to share her thoughts about the mixed reactions surrounding her participation in the tour. In a candid video reel, she humorously read some of the “mean tweets” or critical comments that accompanied the tour announcement. “I appreciate that y’all aren’t afraid to hold back,” she remarked in the caption of the video, showcasing her ability to take feedback with grace and humor.
The comments reflected a blend of surprise and disappointment. Statements like, “Hmmm, team Miranda forever, but this comes as a shock,” and “I was the biggest Miranda fan,” captured the sentiments of those who felt that Lambert deserved a headlining spot instead. One particularly striking comment declared, “I’m so disappointed in both of you. May God forgive you both,” which elicited laughter from Lambert, who quipped, “We’re really doing bad on this tour, Morgan.”
Many fans voiced their disbelief that Lambert, a seasoned star with her own successful tours, was relegated to an opening act for Wallen. One insightful comment read, “You are not a side dish–you are a main course,” emphasizing Lambert’s stature in the country music industry. This reaction underscores the high expectations fans have for Lambert and their desire to see her take center stage.
Additionally, some fans expressed their discontent regarding Lambert’s absence from Wallen’s two Texas shows, scheduled for June 20-21 in Houston. A frustrated comment stated, “WTF, I don’t see Texas on here,” to which Lambert responded, acknowledging the disappointment: “I know, that sucks. I’m not on the Texas shows.” This exchange highlights the passionate connection fans have with their favorite artists and their eagerness to support Lambert in her performances.
Lambert took the criticisms in stride, expressing gratitude for the continued support from her fans. “So there we go. Thanks guys for the support. Appreciate that,” she stated, demonstrating her commitment to engaging with her audience despite the mixed reactions. Lambert’s positive attitude reflects her resilience and dedication to her fans.
Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem Tour is set to kick off on June 20 and will run until September 13, featuring a variety of talented openers throughout the tour. Alongside Lambert, artists like Koe Wetzel, Corey Kent, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Brooks & Dunn, Thomas Rhett, and Anne Wilson will also join the tour at different locations, promising an exciting lineup for country music fans.
The tour takes its name from Wallen’s latest hit song and will coincide with his eagerly awaited fourth studio album. This new project follows his previous album, One Thing at a Time, which impressively topped the Billboard 200 albums chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks and produced six No. 1 singles on the Country Airplay chart, establishing Wallen as a powerhouse in the country music scene.
Lambert’s most recent album, Postcards From Texas, was released in 2024 through a collaboration with Republic Records and Big Loud. The album features the lead single, “Wranglers,” which debuted in May 2024 and has received positive acclaim from fans and critics alike, further solidifying her position as a leading figure in contemporary country music.
