On August 2, friday, Grammy-award-winning country singer Carly Pearce gave a heckler an earful at her WE Fest in Minnesota and kicked him out of the event. 

An audience member captured the whole heated incident and posted it on TikTok, shocking fans all over the world. In the video, a man is shown being escorted out of the venue at Soo Pass Ranch after he commented something that angered the country star.

According to some reports, several audience members at the scene, including the person who shared the video, stated that Pearce burst into anger after the man shouted, “No one cares” when she was talking with the crowd about her life. 

Since Pearce is reported to have been dealing with a heart issue after being diagnosed with pericarditis, the country singer has been aiming to spread positivity to everyone as much as she can. Because of that, she was clear when she stated that she wouldn’t tolerate such rude behavior during her show, which everyone was supposed to enjoy. 

The audience cheered Pearce’s response to the heckler as he was removed from the venue. As he got escorted out, the country star addressed the incident on stage, stating, “I don’t care if it’s to me. I don’t care if it’s to somebody sitting next to you. I don’t care if it’s on the internet. I don’t care if it’s texting. Words hurt. That hurt me. That was not nice, and I’m just here to tell you guys to be kind. Do not say mean things to people just to be mean. Don’t think that there aren’t consequences for it. It is not kind.”

She added, “It is not right, and I do not believe he should have been at my show if he’s gonna speak to me like that. …That is the first time I have sent somebody out of one of my shows, but if somebody’s gonna be that mean and disrespect me, you are not welcome.”

This just shows that Carly Pearce is someone you shouldn’t mess with. To stay updated on her, you can follow her Instagram @carlypearce.
