Sabrina Carpenter is apologizing over a controversial crowd interaction during her Coachella set.
The "Please Please Please" singer, 26, said on X she is sorry for her reaction to hearing a zaghrouta, an Arabic call of celebration, in the crowd while performing on April 10 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.
"My apologies i didn't see this person with my eyes and couldn't hear clearly. my reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended. could have handled it better! now i know what a Zaghrouta is!" Carpenter wrote on April 11, adding, "I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out."
Video footage circulated on social media showing the Grammy-winning pop star expressing confusion and displeasure after hearing a zaghrouta, which she mistook for a yodel, in the audience while on stage at Coachella. "Is that what you're doing? I don't like it," she said.
