Camila Cabello has hit out at “rude” football fans for singing over her performance at the Champions League final on Saturday night.
The singer clearly thought she was the star of the show when she performed a medley of her hits before Liverpool and Real Madrid’s crunch match kicked off at the Stade de France in Paris.
But the Cuban-American star’s spectacular set was drowned out by chanting from both teams’ supporters, who belted out their anthems instead of listening to her music.
Indeed, many sports people and performers will tell you that there’s no competing with Liverpool fans singing You’ll Never Walk Alone in full cry, whether it’s at Anfield or any other venue.
In a series of tweets, which have since been deleted, the Havana hitmaker wrote: “Playing back our performance and I can’t believe people were singing their teams anthem so loud during our performance.
“Like my team and I worked tirelessly for so long to bring right vibes and give a good show ...”
Camila, 25, then returned to Twitter to add: “Very rude but whatever. I’M GLAD U GUYS LOVED IT!!!!!”
One of Camila’s followers attempted to explain to her that the Champions League final is not the Superbowl half-time show.
And football fans weren’t being deliberately onbeskof – they were just supporting their teams.
The fan wrote: “Just so you know. European sport fans are passionate. Many fans live for their clubs, it’s their lifestyle.
“It’s not like USA where people come for the show. So your complaining was quite funny. Not your fault, but this doesn’t belong in Europe. It’s all about atmosphere fans make.”
The start of the game was delayed by half an hour due to trouble outside the stadium, with French police being accused of firing tear gas and pepper spray at Liverpool fans waiting to get in.
The delay meant Camila’s performance was also put back.
A fortuitous Real Madrid went on to win the match 1-0.
