Miranda Lambertisn’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 withNickelbackfrontmanChad Kroegerat 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 ofThe New York Times‘Popcastpodcast. “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-wifeAvril 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-husbandBlake Sheltonhad stepped in.

Shelton’s rep denied there was a fight at the time, telling the outlet, “No fists were thrown. Blake is a peacekeeper and doesn’t start fights.”
Years later, the formerVoicejudge—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 withGwen Stefaniin 2021—toldRolling Stonein 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.”
Hedidtease the singer’s identity, adding, “His initials are C.K.”

“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.
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.”
“I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine,” he told Vanity Fair. “There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”
In March 2024, Tan responded to allegations that he had campaigned to replace Bobby on Queer Eye with his friend Jeremiah Brent.
“Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn’t put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job,” he said on Instagram. “But I didn’t get them hired by getting rid of somebody else.”
He did not respond to her remarks publicly.
Five years prior, Sharon told Larry King that when Ashton appeared on The Talk in 2014, he had an “attitude” after she got his name wrong.
“He goes, ‘What are you, what have you done in this industry?'” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Kid, don’t start with me, because I’m gonna eat you up and s–t you out.’ So I was just like, ‘You don’t know what you’re dealing with, kid.'”
“I was directing that movie for 13 days,” Winkler recalled, “and then I was called into [producer] Jeff Katzenberg’s office and he said, ‘You have everything with you? Go home.'”
He did, however, seem to get along with Hanks’ four-legged costar, quipping, “Love that dog.”
Winkler later denied speculation that he still had beef with the Oscar winner, telling TMZ in 2020, “I don’t have a feud with Tom Hanks.”
Fans of The Hills will remember that iconic line, delivered by Lauren on the season three premiere. Their feud began when Heidi started dating her now-husband Spencer Pratt, and hit its peak when Lauren accused Heidi and Spencer of starting a rumor that she had made a sex tape with then-boyfriend Jason Wahler.
Tyrese then opened up about the feud, telling Van Lathan on The Red Pill podcast, “I have yet to talk to The Rock to this day, and we will have a conversation.” He shared that he did have a chat with the former wrestler’s producing partner, but not the actor himself.
“I found myself being the messenger on behalf of various people associated to the franchise, but stupid me was the only one who went public about those feelings, which is my own fault,” Tyrese said. “It’s not professional, it’s not cool.”
Taylor and Katy had been in a feud for years, their rift even allegedly inspiring Taylor’s song “Bad Blood.” The drama, which reportedly started over a backup dancer and competing tours, came to an end after Perry sent Taylor a literal olive branch before her Reputation Tour kickoff.
“So I just got to my dressing room and found this actual olive branch,” Taylor said in an Instagram video. “This mean so much.”
Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”
Shonda later opened up about Katherine’s decision during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter in 2012. “On some level it stung and on some level I was not surprised,” she said. “When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that [mantra] with me a lot. It has served me well.”
“For a while now she’s been taking a lot of shots at me,” Cardi said in W magazine’s Art Issue. “I spoke to her twice before, and we came to an understanding. But she kept it going.”
The real spark of the fight came when Cardi saw that Nicki had allegedly liked and then unliked a tweet about Cardi’s parenting skills, which Nicki has denied.
“I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter,” Cardi continued. “I love my daughter. I’m a good-ass f–king mom. So for somebody that don’t have a child to like that comment? So many people want to say that party wasn’t the time or the place, but I’m not going to catch another artist in the grocery store or down the block.”
In February 2025, one day before the Grammys, Kanye updated his Instagram to follow only Taylor. He added no further comment, and his fellow musician did not respond publicly to the move.
Mariah and J.Lo’s supposed feud started when the Queen of Christmas was asked to give her opinion on several singers during a 2003 German TV interview. When asked her opinion on Jennifer, she replied, “I don’t know her.”
