During the segment, Whoopi was in disagreement with co-host Sunny Hostin, 54, over a recent viral video of the country star, who interrupted her July 15 Las Vegas concert to criticize fans for taking selfies during her performance.

"If you're going to spend $750 to come to my concert, then give me the respect of watching me while I do my thing, or don't come," Whoopi asserted, adding a dramatic touch to the debate by abruptly getting up from her seat and heading towards the audience.
On her way, Whoopi addressed Sunny's preference for preserving concert memories through photos. "Turn on the television, girl," she retorted.
