Pop star Sabrina Carpenter is facing a woke cancellation mob for her hilarious response to an Arabic “Zaghrouta” chant a fan did during her set at California’s Coachella festival on Saturday.
The fan interrupted her performance with a loud “zaghrouta,” a traditional high-pitched Arabic ululation commonly used in Middle Eastern and North African celebrations.
Sitting at her piano after playing her hit song, “Please Please Please,” Carpenter stopped and addressed the noise directly.
“I think I heard someone yodel. Is that what you’re doing? I don’t like it,” she said, according to footage that has gone viral online.
When the fan fired back that it was “my culture,” Carpenter responded sarcastically, “That’s your culture, yodeling?”
Carpenter continued, “Is this Burning Man? What’s going on? This is weird.”

Predictably, the woke crowd lost its mind.
Critics on social media slammed Carpenter for being “rude,” “ignorant,” and even “Islamophobic,” claiming she disrespected the fans’ culture by not happily tolerating the loud disruption at her own concert.
As the mob continued to come after her, Carpenter folded and posted a groveling apology on X.
“My apologies, I didn’t see this person with my eyes and couldn’t hear clearly,” the singer wrote. “My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended. Could have handled it better! Now I know what a Zaghrouta is! I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.”

Still, the outrage did not stop.
One X user wrote, “sabrina carpenter mocking a zaghrouta as ‘yodeling’ after being educated on its culture is so nasty. being uncultured and proud is actually a disease. the mean girl act isn’t cute anymore, it’s just xenophobic. she’s done.”

Another wrote, “Here’s how a zaghrouta sounds, which is clearly not yodeling. It’s a form of celebration preformed at weddings and moments of joy all around west asia and north africa learnt from many generations. calling it “weird” or brushing it off is disrespectful.”

Another angry lib wrote, “The way Sabrina doubled down and decided to continue to be ignorant even after it was clarified yodeling is part of that person’s culture says a lot about her.”
I’m in a complete shock. I used to be a huge sabrina carpenter fan and now she’s mocking my culture and calling me “weird”, this is so racist and inappropriate and it made me feel uncomfortable. this white blonde racist woman should be cancelled. pic.twitter.com/8jG9IoFwzo

Someone else added, “Did Sabrina Carpenter just call that girl’s culture weird and creepy?”
Some reasonable people did come to her defense, however.
One user summed it up perfectly, “Annoying loud noises does not become less irritating because it’s a person’s culture.”
“It’s her concert and she is the singer and she has the right to say she doesn’t like it.”
