      At the point where someone says “this is my culture”, you’d expect someone to be like oh my bad. But no she just doubles down on it being weird

    4. EvanFri on

      Wow, someone who makes shallow music is also shallow about other cultures.

      Grass is green, btw.

    5. Theradbanana on

      She do not have to double down that fan was just doing it in good faith and appreciation

      There goes Another one!. Just when the chalamet fiasco was dying down. I don’t know how they can be so culturally obvious, if you don’t know anything about it, say nothing, infact even if you know, keep quiet

      Guys, all you have to do when someone says this is my culture is… okay, got it!!

    9. meander-663 on

      Not nice to call it weird but this is my culture too and idk if I’d do it at that moment. Seems a bit off

    10. MixtureSpecialist214 on

      All she had to say was ‘oh okay, lots for me to learn” and move on. She acknowledged it was their culture and still doubled down 😭

      Does the audience member NEED to play it in the middle of her concert? It being “part of their culture” aside, it’s a concert that people are paying money to attend. How is it different from heckling the performer?

      Omg the most annoying people ever are about to get their LIFE from this. Lighten the fuck up, good GOD.

    14. coastal_barbie47 on

      I mean her performance is being interrupted. It’s not really show and tell time for the audience and their cultural celebrations idk

    15. tearsswwhereyyouread on

      I’m not a Sabrina Carpenter fan but I think the random outburst and interrupting with the zaghrouta is what made it weird. It’s out of place for Coachella but wouldn’t be at Burning Man, hence that comment.

      That sound was bizarre & Sabrina is right to be creeped out. Sabrina is an American playing an American festival how the hell is she supposed to know. If you polled a hundred average Americans not a single one would know. The constant attempts at trying to cancel every remotely successful women only come across as misogynistic. Yall are literally telling on yourselves.

      Idk I think she felt awkward cause she was getting heckled.

      concert etiquette is in the bin since covid.

      Excited to watch the internet blow this put of proportion for two days and then forget

    20. Butthole2theStarz on

      That would probably be a bit annoying if you were a fan next to the zaghrouta-ing fan.

      Also this seems like a giant nothing burger since “that’s my culture” has been beaten into the ground and diluted as much as everything else

    22. skaapjagter on

      Zaghrouta or ululation is such an innocuous thing to get offended at – even if you don’t understand it, surely she realises that it’s meant as a vocal celebration – I mean why does she not say the same thing at people who are “wooing” or just screaming?

      Different countries and different cultures have different names for it but it’s the same thing and has the same meaning/usage.

      lilizela or ukukikiza (Zulu/Xhosa), mogolokwane (Setswana), and mhururu (Shona) for example.

      It serves as a form of audience participation and emotional expression.

      At weddings and celebrations in South Africa people here will do this in unison and it never sounds bad tbh (I guess I’m biased) idk why she got so worked up about it…

      (EDIT: WAS NOT EXPECTING THE STANS TO START DOWNVOTING THAT FAST 🤣🤣 GO OFF WITH YOUR DEFENCE OF THIS!)

    25. aavant-gardee on

      She’s on stage, probably a bit hard to hear. She also clearly just doesn’t know what that is. Why can’t a person just not know about something??? I’m sure if you didn’t know what that was, you’d probably be confused too.

    26. Impressive_Collar243 on

      Sabrina’s POV looking down on the audience member whom she is about to very publicly culture shame.

    27. MarieOMaryln on

      She was ignorant, not mean. Calling it weird was the wrong move and that audience member was heckling her.

      Edit: was she even calling the cheer weird or was she calling the heckler’s need for her attention weird?

    28. HolyzombieBatman on

      So everyone is supposed to be ok with you interrupting the performance of the artist they paid a bunch of money to see? Because you needed Sabrina Carpenter to notice you?

      That’s just bad manners lady, stop thinking the entire world revolves around you and your feelings.

    30. Cultural_Wallaby208 on

      Is there some kind of bot campaign going on? Why tf are people experiencing a performer to gracefully accept someone interrupting their performance, and then in the middle of it have a cultural learning moment. 

    32. Dreamer_Sara on

      I am Middle Eastern, I didn’t take offense, she didn’t understand and thought they were heckling her… yes she didn’t understand when they told her it’s cultural either because why would she? A caucasian American who I’m assuming is not aware about the types of celebrations around the world.

      To be honest we use it in weddings and to celebrate significant events, it’s a bit weird to use it during or before a western singer sings in a festival and expect her to understand its significance on the spot instead of you interrupting her.

    34. missbunnyfantastico on

      What’s with people saying this is “disruptive” at a concert as though audiences don’t regularly scream and cheer? Y’all are wild.

    35. Dont-be-a-smurf on

      Yeah and it’s my culture to not have my show interrupted so sit the fuck down

    37. yougotiton on

      She doesn’t call the zaghrouta weird, she says it’s weird that someone would do it in the middle of her show and then try to have a convo mid song

    38. Acheli on

      I’m just shocked she’s able to have a casual convo with one person in a crowd despite there being thousands of people there

    39. maadln on

      Look, I’m not saying Sabrina Carpenter is a horrible person that should be cancelled for this but all the people in the comments trying to defend this are weird. The girl in the audience didn’t do it in the middle of a song, she’s not “interrupting”, it was before the song started. It’s literally the same as cheering, comparing it to heckling is just plain wrong. Calling it weird and creepy is just ignorant.

      Do I think we should cancel Sabrina over this? No. Do I think it was insensitive and out of touch? Yes.

    40. Lokaji on

      I would also like to call out the people that scream like they are being murdered. I get you are excited but it sounds like you are having a distressing time.

      In general, it is just rude to make a loud ass noise if there is a lull in the sound. This goes for concerts, live shows, and movies.

    41. Ok_Rutabaga_5539 on

      Why is everyone in such a rush to cancel women these days? I don’t think Sabrina meant any harm.

    42. ss2811 on

      The title of this post makes it seem way worse than it is, if you read the title you’d think Sabrina was being genuinely hateful.

      Anyways my take on this is, yes of course it’s a cultural thing and I genuinely don’t think Sabrina heard when the fan explained that. Also it was clearly disruptive to her performance and probably threw her off

    43. ananxiouslady on

      I’m gonna start getting uproariously drunk at work and when questioned, remind my supervisors that it’s my Irish culture and right to do so. Since according to some people, you’re allowed to partake in your cultural traditions at any and all times, regardless of how they affect anyone around you!

    47. penny_stinks on

      At least she didn’t say opera is an outdated art form because ppl would’ve really lost it
