SZA criticizes Aussies for their “disgusting” performance at her Melbourne event.

Due to ‘crazy’ behavior from the audience, American pop music sensation SZA nearly left one of her Australian performances midway through the performance.

During her first performance in Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday night, a number of guests recorded footage of supporters hurling objects onto the stage.

Before the singer intervened and called out the audience, some even reportedly tossed shoes and cellphones at her.

“I’ll be going,” she declared. “I’m a person, don’t throw up any cell phones.” SZA exclaimed, clutching an object that had been flung at her, “That’s crazy.”

There were also other instances of bad behavior at the concert.

One disruptive fan attempted a handstand in the raised seating area, but lost balance and fell onto another fan.

SZA’s fans unleashed about the poor behaviour on social media.

‘Honestly don’t understand why fans throw stuff honestly,’ one wrote.

‘Melbourne be ruining everything, behaving like their ugly muggy weather,’ a second wrote.

‘You had one f***ing job Melbourne, now she won’t want to come back to Australia,’ a third added.

A fourth said: ‘Concert etiquette has gone out the window. Should be ashamed of themselves.’

Another added: ‘Disgusting.’

It’s not the first time crowd behaviour at Australian concerts has been criticised.

Dozens of stories were shared online over the course of Taylor Swift‘s seven Australian shows about inebriated people ‘ruining’ some fans’ nights and even had others considering selling their tickets before.

WHO IS SZA?

SZA, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, is an American singer and songwriter.

She gained widespread recognition for her debut studio album, ‘Ctrl,’ which was released in 2017.

SZA’s music often blends elements of R&B, soul, and hip hop, and she’s known for her unique vocal style and introspective lyrics.

She’s been praised for her artistry and has received several award nominations, including multiple Grammy nominations.

‘Hot tip for fans! Please don’t drink too much and, a) vomit all over the people seated in front of you, b) get carted out by your friends with your shoes missing before the show has even started,’ one woman said after a show.

‘You’ve ruined your night, your friend’s night, and worse, some poor unsuspecting fans (and that was two separate occasions).’

One ticketholder said a woman vomited twice during the course of the concert while another said someone spilt eight drinks on her and the woman seated next to her as well as their belongings.

‘She kept hitting us in the head when drunk dancing, then she fell asleep midway through the concert,’ she said.

Another said a similar thing happened to her in that she was ‘vomited all over’ during support act Sabrina Carpenter’s set.

Taylor Swift fans lammed concertgoers for ‘wasting’ their tickets by getting intoxicated at the Eras shows. One person said they were vomited on before the star took the stage

‘Barely any assistance from staff either. I wasn’t able to trade any friendship bracelets during the night as I smelt so bad and stayed away,’ she reported.

Aussie fans were also called out by American rapper Tyler The Creator, when his 2022 show was repeatedly disrupted by members of the crowd chanting ‘shoey’.

After the irritated star declared ‘no, I don’t give into peer pressure’, many revellers started shouting ‘boo’.

As the boos rang out, the rapper compromised, offering to spit on his leg instead – leading the crowd to erupt in a rapturous cheer.

Taken aback by their joyous response, Tyler said: ‘Y’all are f***ing weird.’

Many called for the shoey to be banned from gigs following the uproar.

‘It’s so boring and embarrassing every time Australian crowds do this,’ one said.
