Not letting the viral moment stop her.
Of course, I’m sure you’ve probably seen footage, or at least heard about, Miranda Lambert’s viral moment and very unfortunate wardrobe malfunction while performing “Bluebird” during her opening set in Seattle for Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem tour, which rolled into San Francisco this weekend.
Well, I suppose it wasn’t technically a wardrobe malfunction, but probably a little more than Miranda was expecting to show…
She came out in her classic t-shirt, denim skirt, boots and hat look, but the mini skirt might’ve been a little too “mini,” because you could clearly see her backside peeking out if you were standing right up front in the pit. A video of the incident has gone mega viral on TikTok, and you could now say that Miranda’s cheeks stole the show.
When you perform long enough, something like this is bound to happen, and if you’ve worn a denim mini skirt before, you know they can ride up and be really uncomfortable, so I can only imagine how hard it is to perform in one. Personally, I find skorts way more comfortable anyways, so maybe they can sew in a pair of shorts underneath them going forward just so there’s one less thing to worry about.
You can watch the viral clip that has over a million views, here.
Fans of course had a LOT to say about it, and the viral video garnered tons of comments… some were of course happy to see the footage, while some called it a “PR stunt,” though I can assure you there is n0 way this is a stunt because she would’ve done this MUCH earlier in her career if that was the kind of attention she wanted.
But regardless, the story was everywhere, and in typical Miranda nature, Miranda defended herself following all of the attention on this story, using a line from her song “Little Red Wagon” that played behind a video of her in the outfit walking out onstage from behind:
“I’ve been warning y’all about my backyard swagger since 2014.”
The video also included another line from the song, which was included on her 2014 Platinum album, and is basically about her being a bad*** and someone you don’t want to mess with, so it really was the perfect song choice and response to all of the attention her behind has been getting this week:
There were plenty of supportive comments on the video, and really, we’ve seen much worse celebrity wardrobe malfunctions over the years, so I think this one is pretty mild in comparison to something like the infamous 2004 Super Bowl when Janet Jackson flashed the world (the Panthers were in it that year and I can never forget that moment).
And I was just waiting to see if she’d change up her look for this weekend of shows following this big story (which really isn’t that big of a deal in my humble opinion, but people are clearly interested in it for obvious reasons), because she wears similar denim mini skirts pretty much every time she plays a concert now and this has never happened.
But from looking at videos from her set last night, it appears as though she came out in a very similar outfit, the classic Miranda look, though I think it’s a different skirt but obviously, very similar to last weeks’ because it’s still a denim mini skirt.
Fans in attendance shared some videos from her set, and she sounded, and looked, great. Here’s some of “Mama’s Broken Heart”:
“And “Fastest Girl in Town”:
Some of her classic “The House That Built Me” too:

Who knows if she had some shorts sewn in underneath it, I probably would if I had my own stylist simply because it’s more comfortable that way, but clearly Miranda has had a sense of humor about the whole thing and it’s ended up being a pretty funny moment.
Again, as far as “wardrobe malfunctions” go, if you want to call it that, this was as mild as they come, and Miranda’s onstage looks always slay so why should she stop just because one rode up a little while she was doing what she does best onstage? I think she probably couldn’t care less, and that’s why I love her.
But while she’s bringing up “Little Red Wagon,” go ahead and give it a spin because it’s such an underrated Miranda heater…
