Kacey Musgraves didn’t hold back in calling out a fan who grabbed her during her concert on Friday in Tampa, Florida.
The singer addressed the overzealous fan the following night during her Hollywood, Florida, performance, referencing the incident that occurred in Tampa.
“Last night, this Tampa b****…” Musgraves remarked on stage, prompting boos from the crowd, as seen in a TikTok video.
“I know, I know,” she continued, calming the audience before adding, “She kinda ruined it. She kinda ruined it for everybody. I thought I was gonna have to get real East Texas on her,” mimicking the motion of pulling off her earrings for dramatic effect.
The seven-time Grammy winner joked about the encounter, likening it to the infamous "Florida man" meme.
“Florida goes hard. It felt a little bit like when you type your name and birth date into the ‘Florida man’ thing, and then the Tampa girl popped up,” Musgraves quipped.
The incident took place during her Friday night concert at the Amalie Arena in Tampa when a fan grabbed her as she walked through the crowd. Musgraves, visibly shocked, paused for a moment and responded, “What the f–k?” before walking away, muttering, “Jesus f–king Christ.”
Fans quickly voiced their support for Musgraves online, criticizing the fan’s behavior.
“It’s insane that people think grabbing onto strangers is acceptable just because she’s a celeb. What if some random person did that and everyone blamed her for reacting?” one TikTok user wrote.
“As someone who was at the Tampa show, I don’t even blame her,” another fan said. “Disgusting what happened.”
