One user said, “She did what needed to be done! People need to stop throwing stuff at performers!”

Another advised, “Next time throw two microphones.”

This isn’t the first time that such an incident has occurred and is unlikely to be the last. Of late, there have been multiple instances of audience members flinging objects at performers on stage.

In another similar and recent incident, English singer Harry Styles, formerly associated with One Direction, suffered an eye injury after an object was thrown at him during his show in Vienna.

Several other notable artists have also had to endure such slights: Drake, Bebe Rexha, Ava Max, Kelsea Ballerini are just some who have had similar experiences.
