Miranda Lambert Admits to Having Bar Fight With Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger
Miranda Lambert finally confirmed she and Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger got into an altercati
Miranda Lambert isn’t outrunnin’ the memory of this altercation.
More than 15 years after the “House That Built Me” singer was rumored to have gotten into a fight with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger at a Nashville bar, she set the record straight about their run-in.
“I threw moonshine in his face,” Lambert explained on the Oct. 1 episode of The New York Times‘ Popcast podcast. “I did do that.”
In fact, she admitted that Kroeger had “a lot of hair,” which she ultimately “wrecked” with her drink.
Looking back, the country singer admitted that emotions were running high by that point in the evening. But she isn’t too worried about the incident, either.
“It was a lot and it was just a late night, and no one was in their best state,” she recalled, adding, “I don’t know if we’re fine now—but I don’t care.” (Kroeger has not publicly addressed the incident.)
E! News has reached out to Kroeger’s reps for comment and has not yet heard back.
Although it’s clear she’s not looking at any photographs of Nickelback, Lambert said she and his ex-wife Avril Lavigne—with whom Kroeger still maintains a close bond—are on great terms.
As Lambert put it, “We’re good. I had Avril come and do my CMA Fest surprise guest.”
Back in 2010, Us Weekly, citing an eyewitness, reported the situation began when Kroeger kept asking Lambert to take shots with him, which she declined multiple times. After he allegedly called her a “b—h,” her then-husband Blake Shelton had stepped in.

Years later, the former Voice judge—who was married to Lambert from 2011 to 2015—shared his perspective on that night out.
“People always try to pop off or call her bluff at bars,” Shelton—who tied the knot with Gwen Stefani in 2021—told Rolling Stone in 2014. “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.”
He did tease the singer’s identity, adding, “His initials are C.K.”

Sex and the City costars Kim and SJP had dodged feud rumors for years. But they were reignited after Kim decided not to return for a third movie and made comments about her costar that raised eyebrows.
“What was your reaction to Kim Cattrall telling Piers Morgan that you were never friends just colleagues?” Andy Cohen asked SJP on a September 2017 episode of Watch What Happens Live.
As she explained, “Just…heartbroken. I mean that whole week, you and I spoke about it because I was just…I don’t know I found it really upsetting because that’s, you know, that’s not the way I recall our experience.”
“So…it’s sad but I’m kind of…I don’t know, I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience is the thing,” she contined. “It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives. So I’m hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privileged.”
And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

During a 2022 TikTok challenge, JoJo Siwa described Candace Cameron Bure as the “rudest” celebrity, later explaining that she felt snubbed when Bure once refused to take a picture with her on a red carpet. Shortly after the dig, however, the Full House alum apologized: “I kind of broke your 11-year-old heart. I didn’t take a picture with you. Ugh! I feel crummy, I feel—JoJo, I’m so sorry.”
The two made amends. But months later, Candace was asked if she expects the Great American Family network, of which she serves as chief creative officer, to feature same-sex couples as leads in holiday movies. She said no, adding, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”
JoJo, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, wrote on Instagram that the actress’ comment is “rude and hurtful to a whole community of people.”
