Country singer Kacey Musgraves is currently touring the southern U.S., and while she was in Florida, one fan nearly ruined the tour for everyone when they inappropriately grabbed the artist.
While in Tampa, Florida, Musgraves was performing down on the floor with the audience, walking toward the camera for dramatic effect when an audience member grabbed her arm and yanked her toward the crowd.
After righting herself on her feet, Musgraves can be seen in one video saying to the fan:
"What the f**k?!"
Another video continued recording after the incident was over. Musgraves continued walkingn, but she was no longer performing or singing for the camera.
She can be heard saying:
"Jesus f**king Christ."
Gasps and "Oh my Gods" can be heard coming from different parts of the crowd, but the moment was clearly ruined.
The next night in Southern Florida, while getting acquainted with the audience, Musgraves spoke about what had happened the night before.
Musgraves reflected:
"Last night, this Tampa b***h, you know, she kind of ruined it. She kind of ruined it for everybody."
With a glint in her eye, Musgraves confided:
"I thought I was going to have to get real East Texas on her. You know, take out my earrings."
"Yeah, Florida goes hard."
Because of Musgraves' strong choice of words the night after the incident, some viewers of the video argued that the incident wasn't that big of a deal, partly because Musgraves didn't have to be down in the concert pit with the fans, but also because the fans paid money for their tickets and wanted access to the person they bought tickets to see.
But the comments quickly filled with arguments on Musgraves' behalf, stating that behavior like this required consent, and that performers were not required to give anything of themselves that they were not comfortable with.
Fans were disgusted on Musgraves' behalf.

Some also couldn't believe the woman who grabbed Musgraves was laughing and smiling.

Emotions and excitement run high at concerts, especially if you're seeing one of your favorite performers, but it's never okay to touch or grab performers without their consent.
It's understandable that Musgraves was so upset. It's a great example of one person ruining the fun for everyone.
