Miranda Lambert has finally addressed one of country music’s longest-running rumors. During an appearance on the“Popcast,”the singer confirmed that she threw moonshine in Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger’s face during a 2010 bar altercation in Nashville. The night in question was her 27th birthday, and according to Lambert, nobody involved was in their best state.“I threw moonshine in his face. I did do that,”she said, adding that Kroeger’s hair was wrecked after the drink toss.
Reports from the time claimed Kroeger repeatedly pushed Lambert to do shots and called her a derogatory name when she declined. Blake Shelton, Lambert’s then-fiancé, reportedly jumped into the situation and was held back. Lambert did not directly confirm rumors that she punched Kroeger, and Kroeger himself has never publicly commented on the incident in the years since.
What makes the confirmation land is Lambert’s attitude about it now. She admitted she was nervous to answer the question at all, then followed up by saying she’s not sure if she and Kroeger are on good terms and doesn’t care. Sixteen years of speculation, settled in a single sentence. Which celebrity rumor are you still waiting to see confirmed?
