Adela Calin, the fan who was scolded for taking the selfie, responded by saying it only took her 30 seconds to snap the photo and felt humiliated by Lambert’s public reprimand. Calin felt it was unfair to be treated like a “child” when she was just trying to capture a memory.

The incident sparked a debate on social media about whether Lambert’s actions were justified or if she had overreacted, with some fans supporting her and others feeling she overstepped in her treatment of her audience.
