“Even if they are not famous, why do we touch others and pull them especially,” another person said.
A third comment read: “Normalize these artists/celebrities standing up for themselves and watch it stop…because when they actually react, the ones who are wrong in the public eye are the famous…”
“Some fans do this a lot, and it ruins everything for the rest of us,” another fan wrote.

“Last night, that bitch from Tampa,” she said on stage as the audience laughed and then booed.
“I know. She kind of ruined it,” Musgraves added. “She kind of ruined it for everyone.”
“I thought I was going to have to take on real East Texas. Take off my earrings,” she continued. “Um, well, Florida is going hard. It was kind of like when you typed your name and date of birth into the man thing Florida, but the girl from Tampa showed up.

“People are even more upset that she called the fan a mean name, it’s crazy if she didn’t get a hold of her this wouldn’t have happened,” someone pointed out other.
