‘Nervous’ Miranda Lambert finally sets record straight on bar fight with Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger
She did somethin’ bad.
Miranda Lambert finally confirmed she got into a bar fight with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger in 2010.
“I threw moonshine in his face. I did do that,” the country music star admitted on “Popcast” Thursday, adding she was “nervous” to answer the question.
The Grammy winner divulged that after she tossed her drink on Kroeger, his hair was “wrecked.”
When asked whether her actions were “playful and mischievous,” Lambert hinted there was more to the drama than a joke.
“It was a lot and it was just a late night and no one was in their best state,” she confessed. “I don’t know if we’re fine now — but I don’t care.”
However, she didn’t directly address the rumor that she punched Kroeger in the face.
The two musicians made headlines in 2010 when they had an altercation at a bar while the “Mama’s Broken Heart” singer was celebrating her 27th birthday in Nashville.
At the time, Us Weekly reported that that Kroeger “kept persisting” that Lambert do shots with him but she refused.
An eyewitness told the outlet that Kroeger told Lambert she “didn’t have to be a bitch about it,” which prompted her to grab the shot and toss it on him.
The source added that soon after, Lambert’s then-fiance Blake Shelton jumped in to attack Kroeger, “but people kept Blake away.”
Kroeger has never publicly addressed the fight.
Shelton, however, alluded to the incident four years later in his then-wife’s Rolling Stone cover story.
“People always try to pop off or call her bluff at bars,” Shelton said of Lambert at the time. “One of them I don’t want to say the guy’s name, but he’s the lead singer of a very popular rock band.”
Shelton teased, “His initials are C.K.”
Lambert, 42, and Shelton, 50, got engaged in 2010 and tied the knot the following year. They were married for four years before announcing their divorce in July 2015.
