Carly Pearce Confronts Disrespectful Heckler at Minnesota Concert

On Friday, August 2, during her set at WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, Carly Pearce made a significant statement about concert etiquette by addressing an unruly fan. Before introducing her next song, Pearce was met with a heckle insult: "No one cares," to which she responded decisively, asking security to remove the heckler.

"Somebody get him out of here. I do not want him at my show," Pearce, 34, declared, reinforcing her zero-tolerance policy for rudeness. "If you’re gonna be an a—hole, then you’re going to have to say it to me and get the f—k out of my show. I do not have time for d—ks." As Pearce concluded with "See ya later," the crowd member was escorted out, marking the singer’s first time ejecting someone from her concert.

Acknowledging the incident further, Pearce expressed how the heckler’s words affected her. "Words hurt, that hurt me. That was not nice," she told the audience. Emphasizing kindness, she reflected, "I’m just here to tell you guys, be kind. Do not say mean things to people just to be mean. Don’t think there aren’t consequences for it. It is not kind; It is not right, and he should not have been at my show if he’s going to speak to me like that."

In addition, Pearce assured her fans of their place in creating a positive concert environment. "Thank you for being so kind to me tonight," she said. "And seriously, just be nice to people. Do not be mean. It is not worth it."

Videos of the event swiftly went viral, prompting fans to voice support for Pearce’s actions. Comments on social media praised her for taking a stand. "It is literally free to be nice! Let’s goooo CARLY!" one fan tweeted, while another noted, "Good for her! Don’t go to someone’s concert and be disrespectful to the artist."

Increasing heckler distractions at live shows have led other artists like Miranda Lambert and Kane Brown to take actions against such behavior, suggesting a growing need for maintaining respect and proper etiquette during performances. Pearce hopes her message for kindness reaches concertgoers far and wide, reinforcing the importance of respecting an artist’s time and effort.
