Going to a bar on Bourbon Street and being shocked when things get spicy is like going to Disney and being absolutely appalled at the giant mice.
Bourbon Street, and the whole city of New Orleans, is famed for its playful & lively vibe - and the giant mice, now that we think of it. That saucy-fun vibe a major part of the reason people visit the city in the first place.
People not including this lady, anyway.
We don't know the Original Posters villain origin story - like did this woman take their parking space?
Kill their puppy and steal their car?
Had they met years before, when OP had a different life, and this lady double crossed them in a shady deal gone bad and now they're back for revenge?
We legitimately have no idea. What we do know is something triggered the original poster to dip into their funds and tip the piano player at this bar extra money to play the Cardi B. / Megan Thee Stallion mega-hit-and-Ben-Shapiro-nightmare-fuel W.A.P.
After making the special request, OP set up the camera to record her and wait for her reaction once the lyrics click.
In the full video you can see it takes a while for her to get it - and that she's really jamming out and having a great time at first.
That may have been what made her horrified reaction so funny to her companions - who laughed right in her face when she complained about the song.
Like shamelessly laughed at her.
So did TikTok.

You know who nobody's laughing at? The piano player who emerges as the quiet hero of the story.
If you were busy watching this lady's emotional roller coaster, go back and re-watch the clip. This time, focus on the piano players actual performance.
Why does that man know every single note and word of W.A.P. without having to glance at lyrics or music once?
How has he trained for this moment?
Have you ever seen someone get put on the spot at work and nail it so flawlessly?
TikTok knows greatness when it sees it.

Would W.A.P. being played at a piano bar surprise or offend you?
Interesting choice, but not the strangest thing to happen lately.
