The moment was later replayed for “American Idol” fans.

A fan at the concert, Emily Nicole, told “Good Morning America” ​​that other concertgoers were throwing phones, cowboy boots, cowboy hats, water bottles and more on stage.

“People were trying to get their stuff signed,” Nicole remembers. “So they thought the best way to do that was to throw things on stage, which was completely unsafe and just extremely disrespectful.”

This isn’t the first time artists have dealt with fans throwing objects on stage during concerts.

Last year, Bebe Rexha was punched in the face when a fan threw her phone at her during a show in New York. Harry Styles was also hit in the face by a flying object while on stage in Vienna last July.

“Artists have had enough,” Kelley L. Carter, ABC News entertainment contributor and senior entertainment reporter at Andscape, told “GMA.”

“There is so much left to be seen about how incidents like this could change the concert experience,” Carter continued. “I think there will definitely be a zero tolerance policy that will eventually be put in place.”
