People are constantly waiting for other people to “slip up” it’s honestly so boring. Everything is always such a big deal and a headline, this whole thing is stupid and clearly misinterpreted.

100%. It’s like the minute a celebrity is having a good run everyone starts gunning for them, looking for them to f*** up. And if they don’t f*** up in a big way, everyone will hyper focus on some minor misstep and make it seem like this person has been a dirtbag all along. They did the same thing with Chappell Roan a few weeks ago when they blamed her for some shit a local security guy did. No one even waited to see what the truth was (even though it was pretty obvious) because they were champing at the bit to blame her for something.

The bloodlust for celebrity takedowns is insatiable these days. Chalamet, then Chappell Roan, and now this. You could see people winding up for this one during the Chappell Roan saga. People were saying that it was actually Sabrina's bodyguard and she was responsible after Chappell Roan and the bodyguard made their statements. People feel helpless and all of that pent up rage has gotta go somewhere. It'll be someone new in a couple weeks. My money is on Zara Larsson.

Tall poppy syndrome / jealousy. Happens to men, women, whoever and in every industry from people who wish they were on top.

Hot take: interrupting people who are performing is rude and they don’t owe you anything. She was wearing IEMs and shouldn’t have been able to hear them.

Soggy-Fly9242 Apr 12, 2026 +1521
Also the idea that everyone needs to know everything about every culture in every place they’re in is such a wild expectation. The fact that she was able to hear anything on stage when you can barely hear what they’re saying in the video is also wild. Any time I don’t really know what’s going on but I have to keep it moving I’d respond like her, that kind of snippy sarcasm is her persona so I think she just handled a confusing situation in stride but naturally everyone is mad.

Thank you!  I’m tired of people being offended by other people for simply not understanding or knowing something.  We are out here battling tyrants, sex traffickers,  corporate influence, etc. and people are spending their time getting mad at someone for not knowing some random shit that some random people are doing with their own life.   The gotcha culture that we live in is f****** exhausting.

jpk195 Apr 12, 2026 +159
It's literally how you get people staying home for a cause (I won't mention which) when there's a clearly better, but not perfect option. People are up their own asses with this stuff sometimes.
159
NedRyerson-Official Apr 12, 2026 +62
I don’t think they really how much damage their self-righteousness does to the cause they are supporting.   I know so many people who don’t vote because they are truly moderate on social topics.  They don’t support Trump or the MAGA side, but they are called racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or whatever else for having a differing opinion (or simply don’t understand) something like trans people in women’s sports or even something like thinking Furries are weird. Personally, I just suck it up and vote for the opposition to MAGA regardless, but that’s me.  There are a lot of people who don’t.

brownmouthwash Apr 12, 2026 +29
That first sentence is so spot on. They’re doing damage at this point, and it’s really over their own feelings of superiority instead of genuine caring.

jpk195 Apr 12, 2026 +10
Those people are dealing with the same consequences as everyone else. At some point, you gotta get over yourself and do the sensible thing.

Yes, they sure are dealing with the same consequences. So are you. We are all in this together, until we start pushing people away.

Loud-Log9098 Apr 12, 2026 +29
>The gotcha culture that we live in is f****** exhausting. The entire thing is based around wanting to correct any and everything while simultaneously never wanting it to happen to yourself because it f****** sucks. It's hypocritical in that sense and just immature. Who has time to run around and do that all the time.

Thattimetraveler Apr 12, 2026 +9
I think this attitude contributes soooo much to social anxiety too. Knowing any slip up could come with being berated makes it hard to even bring up certain topics.

Longjumping-Panic-48 Apr 12, 2026 +36
I believe it’s calling it weird after she learned its origins that people are upset by, not the actual not knowing what it is. On the offensive scale, calling something weird is like a 2/10, though. She could’ve used another word, sure, but she was distracted in the middle of her performance by something unfamiliar and probably didn’t have the mental space to run through culturally sensitive responses. A small apology acknowledging that she could’ve handled it better is a sign of integrity and respect for other cultures. Mostly the responses here are showing that 1) female performers must be perfectly unphased and respond perfectly to every single fan as the fan expects them to respond and 2) people don’t care to respect other cultures, let alone allow other cultures to exist in proximity to them.

Doggleganger Apr 12, 2026 +11
I generally agree, but I'm not sure anyone is actually upset here. It's just twitter sensationalism. Maybe 5 people tried to get some likes on Twitter. No one really cares about this one.

You only need to go to other pop culture subs here on listnook to see that there are tons of people (or bots) extremely upset with Sabrina Carpenter about this.

They're bots. And it's not their fault they are programmed to say everyone was *SLAMMED*.

burnerbotz Apr 12, 2026 +4
that part. people think it’s cool to do something not common in the culture they’re currently present in (arabic cheering in coachella valley) and then slam those who don’t know what’s going on. it would be the same if i went to arabic speaking countries clapping snd screaming “woo!” they would be looking at me like my cheering are not common and inappropriate as well. (not calling the cheering at sabrina’s show inappropriate, but those cheering were creating bad guys out of those ignorant like sabrina)

Txdust80 Apr 12, 2026 +4
But were people actually offended or did the media just highlight the very small outliers and treat them like some sort of large group of people offended. I was at a school board meeting where one crazy person who is always stirring the pot said something about some minor thing in a negative manner. And the news reported parents offended by students actions. It was literally one person and it wasn’t even the main thing that person was talking about. It was some off hand spiteful comment that was reported as some push by parents. Never trust when the media states people are in an uproar about something over something that on paper seems like a nothing burger. Chances are they are rage baiting engagement

Honestly just because somethings from a culture doesnt mean you have to like it either. Everyone says its insensitive because after they said its from their culture she still said she didnt like it and its weird. Okay so? Just because somethings your culture doesnt mean it cant be weird and it doesnt mean i have to like it either. Its your right to do that call, and its her right to say its weird and she doesnt like it.

ellsego Apr 12, 2026 +42
A lot of “cultural” shit is super weird… like it’s cultural for woman in Saudi Arabia to be covered from head to toe if they leave the house…in the US there Pentecostal churches that engage in “snake handling” and let’s not forget the confederate lovers who call it “southern culture”… weird shit abounds.
42
Soggy-Fly9242 Apr 12, 2026 +44
Yeah I don’t like bagpipes, sue me. Sometimes my friends from different countries offer me food that I’m definitely not going to eat, I don’t care how cultural it is. And they’re never mad at me they just go “yeah tbh it is kind of gross but we love it”

Reminds me of those vuvuzela horns they had at the World Cup, sure they are a South African football culture thing, still obnoxious

Harmony_w Apr 12, 2026 +3
Funny you should say that--I was at a World Cup volunteer tryout recently and they were giving out FIFA branded vuvuzelas to volunteers. We used them throughout the day (in a convention center) to build team spirit...in the US. People loved it. Hell, I have a neurological disorder that causes nonstop head pain, especially from loud noise, and I loved it. So glad that bit of cultural sharing took place.
3
Responsible_Mix4717 Apr 12, 2026 +43
I would argue that it's not exactly your right to just scream out loudly and distractingly at an event venue. I think every single music venue has a sign somewhere about civil behavior.
43
Good_Brilliant7684 Apr 12, 2026 +29
Watching the video it legit sounds like she thought the person was a yodeler from Sweden or something lol.

Soggy-Fly9242 Apr 12, 2026 +21
Yeah like if that’s the only reference you know, and someone is yelling something at you on stage from the middle of a crowd…makes sense to me

Unlucky-Public-2947 Apr 12, 2026 +19
On top of the hearing issues it’s in the middle of a performance. I mean you are expected to be in the zone but also expected to be aware of different modes of celebrating? It’s nonsense.
19
Randomizedname1234 Apr 12, 2026 +14

also, concerts are expensive as f*** once in a while that I do get to go to a concert. It's so annoying when people are so loud I can't hear the artist.

YoungKeys Apr 12, 2026 +4
Feel like if this happened 5 years ago, Sabrina Carpenter would have been cancelled off the face of the internet. I’m happy most responses to her I’ve seen have been mostly reasonable now. The world is healing.
4
Additional-Simple248 Apr 12, 2026 +28
IEMs usually include audience (AKA ambient) mics to prevent the performer from feeling isolated from the room and let them hear applause/etc.
28
not_the_cicada Apr 13, 2026 +3
Exactly. And each artist will have a different preference for the amount of room sound brought into their personal monitor mix.  Having just the sound of your own microphone can be incredibly unpleasant in a way that is difficult to explain.

leafbelly Apr 13, 2026 +2
Now that's a big assumption. We don't know what was in her ears. I would think people in the next county over could hear that Arabic outburst.
2
magicpenny Apr 12, 2026 +92
Exactly this. Save your culture for cultural celebrations. Let singers sing at their own concert. Stop being offended when you don’t get to do exactly what you want when it interrupts a singer singing at their own show. The selfishness and entitlement is mind blowing.
92
I-I_I-I_I-I_l-l Apr 12, 2026 +5
Imagine how f****** annoying it was for people to be standing next to that yodeler too. I’m glad Sabrina called that out. Who cares if it’s your culture. It’s weird and annoying.

Potential-Ant-6320 Apr 12, 2026 +2
it's very hard to do these performances infront of tens of thosuands of people. Most people aren' used to performing with monitors. some artists hate it. I think simon and garfunkle who are americas last great harmonizers hate monitors. It's part of why small intimate venues where drunk people aren't yelling are my favorite types of shows. If you've never played a 10k person theater or bigger it's hard to understand it. she's still a relatively young and inexperienced artist. people should cut her some slack and understand she's not hearign the house sound and the crowd. she's hearing live audio with her vocals cut out and it's custom fit to her ears to block out outside sound. Pro musicians will have completely custom monitors made that aren't tuned to reproduce all recorded sound but are often tuned to their instrument and custom molded to their ears. these can costs thousands of dollars.
2
Steelhorse91 Apr 12, 2026 +2
In arenas and at outdoor festivals the monitor engineers will often set up a mic on one or both sides of the stage to feed a little bit of stage/room ambience and crowd noise into the in ear monitors, they usually have a plastic disc or plate around/behind the mic. Basically, it can be a bit disorienting being nearly completely cut off from a room acoustically.

AngelsHero Apr 12, 2026 +2
Tbh, after the massively bad press involving the security guard somewhat recently I’m not super surprised by her taking this position now

Internal_Concert_217 Apr 12, 2026 +26
That's right but it was a little weird to start talking about it being my culture. Seems she just wanted to grab the attention when the opportunity arose.

Ok_Teacher_392 Apr 12, 2026 +10
If you loud enough and in a tone that sticks out, it’s in bad form. Have fun, but don’t distract other people who are trying to have fun A southern person would get called out if they were yelling “yee yee yeeet” A frat bro would get called out for yelling about harambe

I’m the only one questioning why was there Arabic celebration yelling at an American English speaking signer’s performance? I wouldn’t be shouting American stuff at an Arabic concert cause it’s out of place lol
3
No-Revolution-3159 Apr 12, 2026 +3
Hot take: always watch something properly before commenting, she was between songs and not really interrupted, lots of others in the crowd were cheering and shouting but that fan was singled out. Glad she apologised.
3
Cantre-r_Gwaelod_1 Apr 12, 2026 +627
I mean, is accusing someone of yodelling that bad? She didn’t say an insult there. Seems like an honest mistake.

The Faux Moi sub had a post with 10k upvotes and thousands of comments dragging her and saying it was racist. It was so bad Sabrina’s team filed a copyright notice to have it taken down. So yeah, a lot of people are angry (or at least pretending to be).

bootlegvader Apr 13, 2026 +14
>The Faux Moi sub had a post with 10k upvotes and thousands of comments dragging her and saying it was racist. Isn't Faux Moi always offended and hating on celebrities? For a pop culture sublistnook it appears to hate 90% of pop culture.
14
Woodpecker-Lobotomy Apr 13, 2026 +10
That sub is literally just the modern version of tumblr and twitter from 10 years ago, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if all those miserable losers just ended up congregating there after both those websites fell off.
10
Cantre-r_Gwaelod_1 Apr 13, 2026 +4
I think a lot of them got a bit addicted to the power trip of feeling like they’re destroying another persons success and reputation. They jump from one celebrity to the next constantly to do this. They’re extremely pathetic. They think as long as they can claim some type of moral superiority in the situation no one else can notice they’re a bit sadistic and nasty.

Nikclel Apr 12, 2026 +194
She’s somehow racist because of it lmao

RedSwingline2000 Apr 12, 2026 +59
The irony is they are saying if it was a European person yodeling it would have been OK for her to be upset but because it was an Arab person doing a Zaghrouta she had to allow them to keep interrupting her

QualityTits Apr 12, 2026 +42
I’ve read the other pop culture threads, they don’t think her apology is genuine and her saying she didn’t like it in the moment was racist. Seriously. As opposed to, ya know, stop making it normal for any of the audience to think they’re the main character and interrupt a concert that’s for another thousands of people. It’s absolutely ludicrous.

They don’t like it because Sabrina went “that’s your culture? I don’t like it” and they’re running with it saying she mocked the culture. Which is where I think Sabrina is trying to say she could’ve handled it better.

Ok_Campaign_3326 Apr 12, 2026 +36
It is when you consider yodeling as not valid and weird - which is kind of what people are doing here. Saying “it’s clearly NOT yodeling” as if yodeling itself would be fine to criticize, but since this it not yodeling it isn’t okay to criticize. Just a weird situation all around.
36
FreeEdmondDantes Apr 12, 2026 +36
I'm sure the yodelers have thick skin and will survive. I hope not though.

I think it'd be okay to criticize yodelling from the audience during someone else's concert.
30
Ok_Campaign_3326 Apr 12, 2026 +9
I do too. I’m saying that on a surface level comparing something to “yodeling” is not an insult. The only way the comparison could be seen as an insult is if you yourself view yodeling as some sort of “less than” cultural practice. If you read any of the criticism of this interaction, a lot of it boils down to being offended that she compared the zaghrouta to yodeling when it clearly isn’t. They’re the ones placing yodeling and the zaghrouta on a different level acting as if one is more valid than the other.
9
Good_Brilliant7684 Apr 12, 2026 +25
It’s perfectly fine to make fun of yodeling lol.
25
Ok_Campaign_3326 Apr 12, 2026 +18
sure, but then if we follow the same logic then it is also perfectly fine to make fun of zaghrouta. But I’m not sure the people who are up in arms about the situation would agree with that statement.
18
Thanos_Stomps Apr 12, 2026 +28
Hot take, it’s okay to make fun of things and doing so doesn’t automatically make you prejudiced, racist, xenophobic, or bigoted.

Hairy-Summer7386 Apr 12, 2026 +1050
I mean, it’s generally weird to go to an event filled with outsiders of your culture and force everyone to essentially listen to it. I’m indigenous and I’ll never do any of my customs at an event because I know it’ll be off putting to everyone else there. So, she was weird for doing this. Sabrina isn’t in the wrong here. This is a nothing burger being blown out of portion.

Yeah this story is bullshit. Screaming so loud at a concert that you can be heard over the performers microphone is annoying in any culture.

Culture or not maybe during a performance isn't the best time to do something like that? She handled it like a comedian being heckled and imo didn't do anything wrong

Those idiots interrupting her performance deserve no apology

I do wish Sabrina was able to respond to this made-up controversy by putting out an official statement that says "Oh, just f*** off" Which is the exact response it deserves

If famous people were allowed to react like normal humans I guarantee we’d have a lot less headlines like this. A simple “Eat my ass” would end so many so called controversies

Nah. People would just dogpile them more. Anytime Chappel Roan is rude for the sake of her own mental and emotional well being people jump on her for being a b****. She’s acting like most folks I know who have a low tolerance for performative or rude bullshit, and yet because she’s a celebrity I guess people are mad she won’t let them treat her like shit.

It's your set, if you don't like an audience member doing something you tell them to stop or leave. Plus who tf yodels when a singer is trying to sing?

She handled it perfectly fine. Obnoxious concert goer was making a loud, bleating, distracting zaghrouta and then tried to make it about herself and her “culture.” It’s a sound use in celebration, like at a wedding. It’s not a sound to yell out at a concert.

Y’all realize that the president of the united states threatened to blow up a whole country this week, right? I don’t care if Sabrina took the fans phone and spiked it into the stage. Literally who cares.

She doesn’t owe an apology for anything. Good to see a vast majority of people here, at least, agreeing it was the screaming person who should apologize.

Nobody should apologize. This is all very stupid.

What a distraction from the feat of her headlining show. She’s pretty spectacular for all she’s accomplished.

movienerd7042 Apr 12, 2026 +18
I don’t understand how people keep saying that the audience member was rude. It’s a music festival and tons of people were screaming. Also as soon as the person said it was their culture she should have stopped even if she didn’t know what it was at first.

Capital-Yesterday618 Apr 12, 2026 +8
They are talking about the quiet tonal shift in Sabrina's performance which the audience adjusted to. The person could be heard ululating by Sabrina only because the rest of the audience was quiet.

movienerd7042 Apr 12, 2026 +13
In the clip, you can clearly hear a massive rumble of crowd noise.
13
movienerd7042 Apr 12, 2026 +14
There’s loads of shouting and cheering going on at the beginning of the clip while Sabrina was between songs, she didn’t call them out because they were interrupting her, she mocked it because she thought it was “weird yodelling”
14
Capital-Yesterday618 Apr 12, 2026 +7
In those other times she wasnt playing the piano during like I said in what is a tonal shift in Sabrina's performance. I didnt say transitions between songs.

Sabrina was in a transition between songs and everyone in the crowd was yelling

People generally know if they do some something loud in an inappropriate setting, It’ll go viral online. Sabrina’s response was fine. She’s an American pop star at Coachella performing songs. She had a reaction to something not normally done at those events. It just happened on a slow news day for people interested in stuff like this.

bugluvr65 Apr 12, 2026 +12
i can’t believe she’s getting so much flak for this. i’m certainly no fan of hers but jesus she heard an unpleasant sounds and said hey that’s unpleasant

MatthewUnplugged Apr 12, 2026 +2
Apologizing was a bad move. Now they are criticizing her apology. Doubling down and/or remaining silent until it blows over sees way more success.

BrianOconneR34 Apr 12, 2026 +2
Loud as possible anything close to front row shows not culture but lack of respect or manners.

andresfgp13 Apr 13, 2026 +2
honestly i feel bad for people like Sabrina or other streamers/artists/politicians/etc which fanbases tend to be people like Listnookors or more progressive fanbases, they live their lives walking on eggshells, at the minor thing going wrong they all turned on them, honestly it feels like they are always looking for a excuse to turn on you. here we have Sabrina which is apologizing for being heckled during her show? like she is the party affected here, and she has to apologize because if she doesnt bend the knee people are going to think she is racist/whateverphobic. if i was in a situation like that i would have a nervous breakdown in no time, i cant imagine being scrutinized every second of my life.

Too chicken shit to protest Trump? Try bitching about an entertainer not knowing about another culture. It’s easier and doesn’t require bravery.

lebean Apr 12, 2026 +4
"My culture is hollering loudly and disturbing everyone around me while they're watching a performance!" This is like going to a concert in Japan where audiences are notoriously subdued, and being offended if someone notices you standing up screaming at the top of your lungs and waving your arms around.

The Fan should apologize for interrupting the performance. This is so pathetic.

moecheeks76 Apr 12, 2026 +6
It’s her show the fans don’t pay to hear the yodeling chick. They paid for Sabrina. Also, since when do we have to validate everyone? Sabrina has a right to tell yodeling freak she thinks it’s “weird”. We don’t have to like everything. Why are you at a Sabrina show yodeling? Why are you trying to get attention at someone else’s expense? Just because it’s part of your “culture” doesn’t mean we should like, want or respect it. I wish Sabrina wouldn’t apologize. She should just move on.

ironlocust79 Apr 12, 2026 +5
Did they pay to hear Sabrina, or did the fans pay to hear another person scream? Shut up and dont make it about you(the fan)
5
dormilonsita Apr 12, 2026 +16
The issue she is apologizing for: called the fan's culture weird after the fan explained the difference. It was NOT bc she called her out initially or because she confused a zaghrouta with yodeling.
16
juicebox03 Apr 12, 2026 +24
That isn’t an issue. It is fine to think something from a different culture is weird. I can respect you and your cultural history and at the same time think it is weird.

RockHardValue Apr 12, 2026 +28
Has the fan apologized for heckling? That would be nice too

Yeah… that’s the worst part. Waiting for the silence between the act to inject yourself.

There was no silence. It’s coachella not an opera house.

magseven Apr 12, 2026 +10
Shouldn't have apologized because it is weird to think your culture is simply just accepted everywhere. Gotta read the f****** room. My uncle is a minister in a predominately black church and if he preached the way he does in Georgia at a Catholic church in...I don't know, Milwaukee or something, he would probably be tased and cuffed within 45 minutes. His sermons were INTENSE! I've seen him hit people hard enough to draw blood (who never complained). It's extremely selfish to assume everyone knows your intentions or belief system every time you open your f****** mouth.
10
movienerd7042 Apr 12, 2026 +6
Yes because that’s definitely the same thing as cheering for two seconds in your cultural way

She didn’t do anything wrong. Screw the girl for making the show about her and then trying to defend herself for being rude by hiding behind, ‘culture’ Crazy how we’re willing to tear these celebrities to shred the *second* something happens.
