The country music world was thrown for a loop when a video surfaced of McLoughlin, a former NYPD officer, dancing and laughing with a group of women at a Nashville bar.
While the video has since been scrubbed from the internet, the damage was done, leaving fans wondering if Lambert and McLoughlin's love story had hit a sour note.
According to an anonymous woman present that night, McLoughlin was simply caught in an innocent moment.
The women, celebrating a bachelorette party at Nashville's Casa Rosa, recognized McLoughlin and asked for a photo with the bride-to-be.
"We thought it was cool," the woman shared with In Touch Weekly. "We even mentioned hoping for a Miranda appearance!"
The women claim they were then invited into McLoughlin's roped-off section, though they're unsure how the invitation came about. Despite the close quarters and flowing drinks, the woman insists McLoughlin remained "gracious, polite, and kind" throughout the night.
