Why Miranda Lambert Hates Beach Balls

Warning: If you’re at a Miranda Lambert concert, do NOT toss a beach ball into the crowd! Miranda, who just got off Kenny Chesney‘s “Sun City Carnival” tour, tells Dial-Global those plastic spheres are not welcome in her set.

“I hate beach balls,” she says, laughing. “I just feel like people are so distracted from the music when they’re trying to worry about a beach ball hittin’ ‘em on the head and bouncin’ around like a volleyball. And people down front get hit in the back of the head ’cause they don’t see it coming. This one guy hit me in the face during ‘Gunpowder and Lead’ at one arena out with Kenny with this giant beach ball and that’s when I snapped. I actually popped that beach ball with my heel of my shoe — but I started keeping a knife on the drum riser for occasions just like that.”
