Maggie Rogers disrespected by crowd in Austin TX before performing “Alaska”, almost walks off 

some of y'all in the comments really need to grow up. she handled that with grace, dignity, and a lot more class than some of you would ever on a stage. we love you maggie.

A very real raw moment. She took something ugly and made it beautiful. She took a selfish careless comment and elevated the moment for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Bravo.

I think she acted alright. It’s not about “don’t take yourself so seriously”(like some people are saying in the comments), she was disrespected once, she tried to move on (even said she was uncomfortable) and was going to sing something emotional. Maggie was ready to move on with the music. But people keep on talking about her body and her looks and everybody was talking at the same time when all she wanted was to show her music. Maggie was probably overwhelmed and uncomfortable at that point, I would to. Having a crow of people looking at you, screaming at you and watching your every move, while you feel disrespected, that’s probably not easy. Just try to put yourself in other’s people shoes sometimes. We’re all human

This is why Maggie is an amazing soul. and thats all that needs to be said.

From one Texan to Maggie. I apologize that you had to deal with some drunk idiots. You handled it so well.

i really like how she handled it... she basically said without saying "this is my stage and you are not special enough to take away this beautiful moment from me and the majority of ppl that came to see me tonight. i'm here because of them :)" it's a big fuck you to that guy and i like it :)

She crushed it, as someone who works a craft in front of people on a nightly basis that shit was mad disrespectful and she handled that with such grace.

This brings back memories of middle school. But in all seriousness, she doesn’t deserve that disrespect.

What an absolute angel. Her response to that ignorant disrespect (after she initially cursed) was profound and beautiful.

The moment when she spoked like a ruler of a kingdom everybody realized they fvcked up 🤣 that silence is so satisfying.

this was all over the news in UK- she is adored/revered over here! it's a shame when an idiot turns up

As someone from Austin, I’m ashamed that they did this

Shame on you Austin. She is the heart of your generation. Treasure her.

She embodies grace and calm and I'm so glad I saw this. Even bigger fan of her now. That's how you turn an uncomfortable/disrespectful situation into an inspirational/exemplar one.

i just heard of Maggie a week ago. She's a great talent. And she's a class act.

At 2:40 I was convinced that when she finished taking she was gonna raise that guy up with her witch magic and snap him in half 😂 love you Maggie

We are in a state in this country of disrespect and a lack of civility. When we behave in this manner, it shows ignorance and a lack of responsibility to what we say and who we say it. If we want to show other countries how crass and disrespectful we can be to our people, then keep behaving this way, and you will succeed. I have been in this young woman's place as a professional singer in a band and a stand-up comedian performing in similar venues. She was overwhelmed by the outburst and was not prepared for a come back from this audience. Unless you have been there and done that your comments have no merit or credibility. More civility less disrespect! Creative Arts college faculty

There is always a clown in the crowd that goes to far

That was disrespectful of those people! So sorry you had to go through that!!

She handled that brilliantly

You tell 'em Maggie! All power to your music, I'm with you 100%!

Damn. I just had such a visceral response to that. Big ups to her for staying and continuing to talk to the crowd before performing. Sure, audiences have done worse - much worse, in some cases - but that wasn’t cool. She handled it gracefully, respectfully, and with a measure I know I’m too hot headed to maintain in that kind of situation. I hope her words reached as many of the audience members as they needed to - and perhaps the viewers watching it happen afterwards.

She should’ve walked. Such a stain on Texas crowds. Houston might talk during the set but never have I seen this happen. And if it did at a Houston venue, you’d be kicked the fuck out immediately. She’s a fucking pro and a saint

Maggie is an empath and her music is an extension of her …. Pure soul. Pity such toxic people attempted to get at her. God bless Maggie.

You have an amazing spirit. I am glad you didn't let them get the better of you. You have great inner strength.

A handful of Aholes ruined the good Austin, TX name. They were probably not from Austin because that does not accurately represent the community I live in. Smart, thoughtful, talented people who love music and artists and would never say douchey things like what I heard here. That's the thing about Austin is that it brings so many people from all over the place that want to come live here. Sorry this happened in this awesome city that I love and call home.

She nailed it. Maggie is PURE !!!

Wow! That was such a beautiful response.

She Rocks! Plain and Simple👍 She handled those jackasses as well as can be expected. Good for her👏

That took balls but she held her ground and even re-composed herself for the next song. Nicely done.

I love how she handled that

Holy fuck. She handled it so amazingly, but for this to have happened in what is supposed to be a safe space and extremely accepting environment of every kind of human to exist, is baffling to me. I hope people surrounding the specific guy(s) who said those comments told them off and made them feel deeply ashamed for the words they said. Love you so much Mags, truly wish this hadn't happened. The way you handled it shows that you aren't one to fuck around with, and you're a bad bitch.

it never ceases to amaze me how people pay good money at events and destroy the experience for themselves and everyone around them. why are you even there if you are going to talk through the entire show?

Humble and genuine and we love you

Finding this in 2024. I was at her show a month ago in the pit and a man kept HOLLERING during a slow moment where she was talking while playing piano. Pissed me right off.

What did that first guy yell?

Let me time stamp the disrespect 0:52, 2:02

She’s so professional even she said fuck and was clearly upset

I really wanted to hear her performance after that speech! I don't suppose anyone has a link to another video clip?

You stay classy, Texas.

Maggie is a genuine ray of light.

Damn, Maggie Rogers is classy as hell

CLASS ACT!

She should've just asked the security ti get that lowlife off the premises

This is obvious but a man would never have to deal with that shit.

Some serious dickheads out there. She handled it like a pro though.

GO MAGGIE!! SHE GOT HER RESPECT BACK!!! YOU GO GIRL!! WE LOVE YOU MAGGIE!! YOUR MUSIC IS SOO DIFFERENT SOO BEAUTIFUL!!! AND AMAZING INCREDIBLE VOICE YOU HAVE!!! STAY BEAUTIFUL STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF !!

she's 100% possessed in this speech.

When passionate the right to tell enyone eny thing is brought on by the power of the confidence one carries when achievements are of the soul very beautiful soul

Don't speak to my Maggie like that

Where’s forest when you need him

Yet here she is after 2 years performing in front of thousands of her fans in Coachella

Janis Joplin is laughing and staring down like you go babe!

Austin is full of ‘em.

Funny how the smoke machine try to drown them out

What I found really hilarious was that in was in Oh So Tolerant, Oh So Inclusive Austin. And it was ACL in Moody Auditorium.

Can you expect anything from that state? The majority road the short bus.

What does the man say?

What did they shout?

bring back the chicken wire stages

Good for her so well spoken

Take care and God bless ya ❤️🙏😘

That's Austin, TX people right there...

Austin has turned into a shit hole. She's awesome.

She’s pure ain’t she

It only makes us love you more ❤️

She's so brave it's awesome

She reminds me of Janice Joplin

what did it said?

austin ur such a shame...

Cringe as hell. We must protect Maggie at all costs

Texans. Enough said.

People can be so shitty😢.

Note to self, "Don't have lengthy emotional speeches at a live MUSIC show. People will get bored and drunk people will say stupid stuff."

she takes her top off in the teaser she recently posted. I don’t know maybe this is related. and she changed her profile picture too.

I love alot of Maggie's songs and there were definitely some idiots there but she seems really uptight here imo, that speech was ridiculously serious

😢

You come to enjoy her music or you come to troll. Wtf

Security- Security

who ?

Her talking too much puts people off

She has class ,but her best message is in her songs .....if you want to shut someone up . Just sing !

Some people

It would have been nice to hear the song.

a fucking queen

Welcome to Trumps USA.

Damn, imagine getting that upset over "free the nips" 😂

Self important

Sounds like 1 person yelled "take your shirt off" - disgusting comment...the title here is misleading. I think the crowd generally supported her. Click bait I guess.

Oh, Maggie I love you 😻 and I support you, this is honestly a situation, but there is nothing to it. I felt what you felt having just seen/heard that guy in the back and believe you me you're young and you will grow a thicker skin, so, actually, we can take this negative and turn it into a positive experience, right? It is a one-off one, really 🏂 🏄🏊🏇🏆

This girl is lying on social media. Nobody said "Take your top off" as she implies on Instagram and all the news networks. She implied that after someone casually said "Free the nips".

Just sing already!!!! 🤣 if we wanted to hear a monologue we’d go to a poetry reading!

Seems like she’s waiting , instigating crowd for a reason to walk off the stage

They found her "cute", what did Della wear? - "I dunno, I'llAska".

just sing the fucking song and ignore people, jesus christ!

I mean it really wasn't that big of a deal

She takes herself waaaay too seriously. I mean yeah, those guys were idiots, but, you only give them power when you acknowledge them. I was a performer myself. I heard what the guys were saying. I ignored them. It is the biggest insult you can give to act as though someone does not exist.

So self-involved and precious. Nobody wants a fake emotional speech. She's cursing her head off and then acting all sensitive. Total fake.

Stop making people pay for lectures. Sing your songs

With all "due respect", did they pay to hear a long-winded-sucking-up-to-the-crowd-speech, or did they just want her to play her damn guitar and sing her damn song?
