SZA issued a warning to fans at her show in Australia due to their 'crazy' behavior. The incident occurred during her performance at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Tuesday, where fans were seen throwing items such as shoes and smartphones towards the singer on stage.
Expressing her dismay at the crowd's actions, SZA addressed the audience, stating, 'I will leave. Do not throw up any cell phones, I'm a person. That's crazy.'
Following the show, concertgoers took to social media to condemn the behavior of those who were throwing objects at SZA, with one individual expressing disappointment and calling for accountability.
This incident is not an isolated one, as several other artists, including Taylor Swift, Bebe Rexha, Harry Styles, Lady Gaga, and Kelsea Ballerini, have also faced similar situations at their concerts. The trend of throwing items at performers to gain their attention has been on the rise, with some attributing it to a lack of concert etiquette post-Covid lockdowns.
Paul Wertheimer, a crowd safety manager, highlighted the potential consequences of rowdy behavior in crowds, noting that anonymity in large groups can lead individuals to engage in antisocial and dangerous actions.
As live events resume and audiences return to concert venues, it is essential for fans to uphold respectful behavior and consider the impact of their actions on performers and fellow attendees. Concert etiquette plays a crucial role in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
