Joe Rogan Was STUNNED That Miranda Lambert Has Girl Fights Break Out At Every Concert
If you’re going to see Miranda Lambert in concert, you can pretty much count on a girl fight breaking out in the pit.
Miranda is the guest on Joe Rogan’s extremely popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast this week, where they covered a wide array of topics during their almost two and a half hour conversation, ranging from her golf journey, getting involved in mounted shooting, missing the road during the pandemic, some of her tour rider staples and much more.
And the topic of the infamous girl fights at her shows came up, too…
Miranda Rearranges Her Set List Due To Girl Fights
A few years back, Miranda told Cowboys & Indians magazine about the order of her concerts and how she had planned to draw up her setlist at the time. Of course, when you have as many hits as an artist like Miranda, it can be tricky to construct. When do you speed it up? When do you slow it down? When do you blow the roof off? When do you melt the hearts? It’s a science…
She spoke a little bit about how some of her first hits, “Kerosene” and “Gunpowder & Lead,” are still part of her setlist, adding that they’ll always be staples in her catalog because of what they did for her career.
“Those are the kinds of songs that are staples. So they’re in there. I can’t get away from them, but I’m not tired of them yet. ‘Kerosene’ for sure. It’s like the OG, it started this whole ball rolling.”
They’re timeless hits, and I still love them dearly.
But surprisingly, Miranda also explained that there were too many girl fights that started during “Mama’s Broken Heart,” and that they would carry into the more serious, subdued parts of the show, like when she’d sing her mega hit “The House That Built Me,” which she wanted to be a special and poignant moment at her concerts:
“Those two and ‘Mama’s Broken Heart.’ We had to move that one in the set list because we had it right after ‘The House That Built Me’ — or right before ‘The House That Built Me,’ actually — and the girls always get in fights.
And I’d have to wait to start my ballad because they’d have to calm down from ‘Mama’s Broken Heart.’”
Feuding in the front row is always a thing at concerts, but it got to the point where it was so bad, she had to move some of her set around and put it last so the girls can just finish out the show with a literal bang if that’s what they’re into.
“So we moved it down into what we call the final push, which is ‘Mama’s Broken Heart,’ ‘Gunpowder & Lead,’ ‘Little Red Wagon,’ and ‘Drunk.’ We do this final push at the end of the show. So, if the girls were fighting, they could just fight through the rest of the set.”
And to this day, that’s still what she does, because the girl fights continue on.
Miranda Explains The Girl Fights To Joe Rogan
Miranda told Joe that she used to be “quite the firecracker” back in the day, which country fans know very well. She also told him that her feisty songs still get the girls going, and there’s a fight at “pretty much every show” even now:
“I’m a little calmer now, but I used to be quite the firecracker. There’s a reason I have revolvers tattooed on my arm… just a little pistol personality, I guess. So my feisty songs, at every single show, pretty much every single show, there’s a girl fight in the pit. Every single one. They just get riled up… they get riled up. I’m telling you…”
Joe was stunned to hear that, and wondered if that was a unique experience with her, or if it happened to other female singers:
“I wonder if you have more girl fights than other female singers… I bet you do, if every single show… I bet that’s real odd.”
He asked Miranda if she’d talked to other girls about this phenomenon, and Miranda said she hasn’t but maybe she will now. It always happens during her “ramp up,” and Miranda says that for whatever reason, it just gets them all wound up.
She will stop the concert and put an end to it if it gets really bad, but to this day, it happens at almost every show:
“It’s towards this part where, I call it my ramp up, it’s like ‘Gunpowder and Lead,’ ‘Little Red Wagon,’ ‘Mamas Broken Heart.’ They just start getting wound up… I’ll stop if it gets real bad. I’ll stop and go, ‘Hey y’all, tone it down a little bit.’ Almost every show.”
The whole time she’s explaining this, Joe continues to look more and more shocked, and I laughed out loud when he said: “That’s really odd, Miranda.” He thinks it might just be something her personality brings out in people, and honestly, I tend to agree…
“That’s really odd, Miranda. I think that’s odd. That might be a very specific reaction that you have on people.”
Miranda insisted that she’s much more calm now:
“I’m pretty calm now, I’m like, ‘It’s alright, we’ve got some ballads coming up. Everybody take a sip, take a seat. Y’all settle down.'”
Rogan added that it really is a good think at the end of the day, because that means she’s making people feel something, and it probably gives those girls extra motivation at the gym:
“I think it’s great, they’re feeling something… I bet it’s great at the gym, those songs. They’ll think about that b**** they punched at the concert.”
Something tells me Joe must not have listened to some of those OG Miranda hits, because while I don’t get why you would start a fight during songs like “The House That Built Me,” I can definitely see how punches get thrown during songs like “Crazy Ex‐Girlfriend” or “Gunpowder & Lead.”
She’s known for her bad***, take no crap attitude which was VERY prevalent in her earlier music, that remains my favorite to this day, but she put it best when she said she was a “firecracker” and I think inspired many other ladies to take on that kind of attitude, which I’m here for… but still, those fights happening at every show seems excessive… y’all calm down and enjoy the music.
And someone get Joe Rogan to a Miranda Lambert concert ASAP. He’s missing out on some incredible music… and maybe a good fight every now and then too.
